:ehh:
I'm in Barcelona now
Any tips?


Yep, take the funicular up to Montjuïc for a crazy view of the city.

Don’t eat anywhere along las ramblas, it’s all overpriced tourist menus..with the exception of la boquiera, the food market. Try some jamon iberica, & manchego cheese from here

Tibidabo funicular takes you to another beautiful viewpoint that overlooks the city

A few bars serve free tapas at certain hours as long as your drinking 7 Barcelona Bars with Free Tapas

The Olympic park is dope to check out, as well as the water fountain show in the evenings. Magic Fountain, Barcelona ~ Tips & Show Times in 2022

There should probably be Christmas markets starting to setup in the plazas…definitely take time to walk through. Some of the best desserts I’ve had were in Spanish Christmas markets, also some monasteries have bake sales with unique pastries

If you blaze, definitely stop by a weed club. You have to pay a small fee to join, buy a joint or weed and usually have to smoke and stay for an hour or something. It depends on the city/club. It’s a great way to meet locals and other travelers

Good shyt. I'm taking the ICE outta Berlin down to Garmisch then hitting up Zurich. Halfway tempted to see what this Glacier Express train hitting on. Just gonna do a gang of shyt I should've done when I used to be stationed there.

Let a brotha know if tourist can still hit the weed spots tho. Keep hearing a lot of mixed info. Like you gotta be on the outskirts bordering the city center to cop now.

Trying to find a cheap hop over to London for a 3-day but I see RyanAir only flies into Stansted

How well do they know English in these places?

Would these be recommended for a solo English speaking only traveler?

Vlaamse Frits on Damrak after you blaze or have edibles at Abraxas, def check out the Van Gogh museum while lit, shyt is a fkn trip. There’s also a banksy museum near the Amsterdam sign.
Visiting the red light district is a no brained, even the wife wanted to fk a couple of them women they are absolutely 11/10’s and all international exotics.
The peep show was cool too but I think they may have shut down by now.

Kalbgetschnetzel in Zurich at Swiss Chuchi, the Xmas market was cool too. If you’re with your woman take her to the opernhaus for a date night, the ballet puts on a really good performance.

There is a bad ass waffle place near Mannekinpiss, if you’re interested I’ll get the name. Make sure to hit up Leonidas Chocolatier as well in Brussels
