If you're into Gaudí, visit La Pedrera and the Parc Güell, a must see. Also, if you're into history (spanish civil war) you can visit the Plaça Sant Felip Neri, dozens of people were shot by a firing squad and you still can see the holes in the wall. The area itself is beautiful even if the square has a grim past. Ocean? Better visit Marbella beach, avoid Barceloneta beach and WTC hotel surroundings. Barceloneta area itself is nice, you can walk through the streets and find some nice seafood restaurants (best paella in town can be enjoyed there probably).
If you're into night life, go to Plaça Real. Having a beer while being pestered by all kind of tramps, circus amateurs, streetwise musicians and whatnot has its charm - no joking, people here we're used to avoid them with nice words after hearing their rocambolesque stories  some even give them a coin or two. There's a lot of nightclubs there as well. Also, if you have time, go lose yourself through the Born. Beautiful streets, nice bars, great restaurants - albeit a bit expensive.
Enjoy Barcelona! You still can have a great staying here - before they kill it completely due to massive tourism

Check out the La Rambla, if you can forget that Younes Abouyaaqoub killed 13 people and injuring at least 130 there not even a year ago.

Haha yeah, I went there in July 2006 right after Italy won the WC, every single street had people shouting 24/7 the po-po-po-po chant with flags waving, official shirts and all the goodies. I liked the city, but the constant hooligan-ish atmosphere was truly overwhelming and honestly very embarrassing, I can perfectly understand your frustration   |

Damn right you italians are loud people and since I work in a pub I can tell you that nowadays Italian is the new flavour in town. Last year were norwegians, two years back were germans, three years back were french... there's a trend going on every year. I'm not frustrated tbh, you guys make awesome food and, as a rule of thumb, are more gentle than some of the aforementioned nationalities.

im fully aware that Barcelona has one of the highest thief/pickpocket rates. I will be leaving almost everything in my apartment, still cant believe how people could fall for the streetgamblers tricks and im usually not talking to any trannies/crackwhores etc
but atleast not as crowded already as i thought, met nice people, did visit the parc güell etc, found some really nice restaurants and small bars. all in all not as expensive as expected too. sure all those pakistani selling you beer and stuff want higher prices, but just ignore them or strictly say low prices, they will sell it to u for that in the end
