Enjoy Barcelona 10 Things to see and do
Barcelona is Spain's most cosmopolitan city and one of the Mediterranean's busiest ports. It’s also the capital of Catalonia; rich in culture and history offering a multitude of sightseeing attractions, from the greatest concentrations of Gothic architecture to the home of Europe’s football champions including the dazzling Messi, the world’s best player
La Sagrada Familia is the most famous of Antonio Gaudi's buildings. The cathedral is both breathtaking and grotesque and is perpetually under construction. Gaudí dedicated more than 40 years (the last 14 of them exclusively) to the project, and is buried beneath the nave. Climb the winding spiral staircase and enjoy the wonderful views!
Parc Güell a must-see stop on any Gaudi tour of Barcelona, the park is best known for its colourful, mosaic decorations that grace everything from a large dragon to a winding terrace seating area. It’s a magical place that emulates an English garden city offering amazing panoramic views of Barcelona and the sea beyond.
La Rambla is the city's busiest, most colourful boulevard and home to Barcelona's Christopher Columbus monument. Gaze at street entertainers and discover interesting stalls. North of La Rambla is Plaça Catalunya, home to one of Barcelona's mega department stores, El Corte Ingles.
Picasso’s Museum is a not to be missed! Follow in the footsteps of the artistic genius by visiting the landmarks that shaped his youth. A permanent collection of some 3,500 pieces has now been spread across five adjoining palaces featuring his work.
Port Vell - Barcelona is a beach city, and Port Vell is the hub of activity on the water. Port Vell's Maremagnum is a sprawling collection of bars, restaurants, and shops.
Barri Gotic is Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, with amazing architecture and charming cobblestone streets. This is one of the city's most historic areas.
Modernista Architecture - Barcelona's love of Modernista has been a passionate affair and the evidence is scattered across the city. In the Dreta area there are some masterpieces. The fairest of them is Gaudí's luminous Casa Batlló, built for a textile tycoon. Nearby, you can gaze at his rivals' architecture: the shiny Casa Amatller by Puig i Cadafalch, and the decadent Casa Lleó Morera (on the corner of C/Consell de Cent at No.35) by Domènech i Muntaner.
The Lower Raval is where one can explore the literary flavour of Barcelona. Many writers have been inspired by the lower Raval, generally referred to as the Barrio Chino, a name coined by an American journalist due to its underworld feel in the 1920s. Browse through books in this area or perhaps catch a poetry reading…
Flamenco in Barcelona is something of a wonderful spectacle. Head to El Tablao de Carmen, where established stars and new talent display a vibrant spectrum of flamenco singing, dancing and music. Los Tarantos in Plaça Reial has become a popular tourist haunt.
Shopping Diagonal - Pedralbes, Barcelona's business and shopping hub comprises two sections. The first extends from the Passeig de Gràcia to the Plaça de Francesc Macià, and the second, from L'Illa Diagonal to the Pedralbes Centre and El Corte Inglés.
