Safety tip DON’T KEEP YOUR WALLET/PURSE IN YOUR JEANS’ BACK POCKET

To avoid being pickpocketed, keep your wallet in your front pocket, especially a pocket that can be buttoned up. Best of all, use the inside pocket of your jacket. There are also a load of different ‘money belts’ (see examples here) that either hang inside your shirt or wrap around your waist (under your shirt), etc. Make sure it’s waterproof because travelling can often be sweaty/perspiringwork. I’d advise against the bum bag/fanny pack varieties. There is no better way to advertise the fact that you have a load of valuables on you…and, of course, they were never ever cool.

How to Save Money While Traveling

Just because you splurged on the trip, doesn’t mean you have to sit in your hotel room the whole time. With a little bit of work ahead of time, you can escape the resort without breaking the bank. Here are four easy ways that you can save money while traveling:

Sign Up For Local Deals – about a month or two before you travel to a new city, sign up for local deals in that city through Groupon, Amazon Local, and other similar sites. They’ll often have discounts on everything from zoo passes and concert tickets to skydiving and massages.
Join The Mailing List – if you have your heart set on a local museum or attraction, see if they have an email mailing list you can join. This is a great way to find out about special promotions and offers that may only be available to subscribers.
Book Ahead – not only is it easier to shop for and compare excursions and private tours ahead of time, but you can sometimes get a discount for booking in advance, as well.
Watch the Tripfeed – we partner with various companies to provide our travelers with exclusive offers on tours and attractions in select cities. These messages will show up in the Tripfeed in your TripCase app.

Barcelona Transbordador Aeri

Barcelona Transbordador Aeri: These rather battered cable cars do not appear to have been touched - except for the installation of lifts - since they were built for the 1929 Expo. Transbordador Aeri provide sky-high views over Barcelona on their grinding, squeaking path from the Sant Sebastià tower at the very far end of Passeig Joan de Borbó to the Jaume I tower in front of the World Trade Center; the final leg ends at the Miramar lookout point on Montjuïc. Go late to avoid the long queues.

Barcelona Tibidabo Funfair

Barcelona Tibidabo Funfair: This hilltop fairground, dating from 1889, is investing millions in getting itself bang up to date, with the terrifying freefall Pendulum and a hot-air balloon style ride for smaller children. Adrenalin freaks are waiting for the rollercoaster currently under construction. 

The many other attractions at Barcelona Tibidabo Funfair  include a house of horrors, bumper cars and the emblematic Avió, the world's first popular flight simulator when it was built in 1928. Don't miss the antique mechanical puppets and contraptions at the Museu d'Autòmats, and there are hourly puppet shows at the Marionetàrium (from 1pm). At the weekends, at Barcelona Tibidabo Funfair there are circus parades at the end of the day and, in summer, correfocs (fire runs) and street theatre.

Barcelona Zoo in Spain

Barcelona Zoo: The dolphin shows are the big draw, but the decently sized zoo has plenty of other animals, all of whom look happy enough in reasonably spacious enclosures and the city's comfortable climate. Favourites include giant hippos, the prehistoric-looking rhino, sea lions, elephants, giraffes, lions and tigers. Child-friendly features include a farmyard zoo, pony rides, picnic areas and two excellent playgrounds. If all that walking is too much, there's a zoo 'train'. 

Bear in mind that on hot days many of the animals in the Barcelona Zoo are sleeping and out of sight, and when the temperature drops below 13º many are kept inside
