Tips

If you need more time, add an extra day in each city to delve deeper into neighborhoods such as Lisbon’s Bairro Alto, Madrid’s Lavapiés, and Barcelona’s El Born. To shorten the trip, combine Madrid’s Prado and Reina Sofía visits into a single half‑day and skip one of Barcelona’s Gaudí sites (e.g., Casa Batlló) while still capturing the city's essence.
