What to see or do in and around Barcelona

Amazing historic architecture
If you are charmed by period details, old world elegance in street lamps, balcony railings, doorways, windows, moulding, architecture, in short- this is a great city to stroll around in. We stayed in the gothic quarter and mostly kept to their, it is such a beautiful environment. Trees really helped, and all the cascading plantlife from balconies. Sites: Really enjoyed Sagrada Familia, Casa Vicens, Palau Gruell (all gaudi and fascinating). Palau de la Musica Catalonia is not to be missed! Gorgeous art nouveau mosaic, sculpture, design. Picasso museum was interesting to see his development and creative process. All his best works are in bigger museums around the world. Arco de triunfo is very beautiful. We visited the cathedral but i did not find it memorable religious art isnt for me altho intricate carvings are amazing. Sagrada familia is much more inspiring. Dont miss barcelona if you are visually inclined. It is a feast!

Barcelona, the most adorable city
For young people, Barcelona is the best place where to spend your holidays. The city's heritage is so rich. And the population is too young compared to other European countries

Best town- Barcelona
The best city, amazing food, quality public transportation system and warm people all around! A week is not enough to see everything! Casa Batlló, La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia, casa Vicens, park Güell, Tibidabo, Barceloneta beach, LArc de TRIOMF, Ciutadella Park and so many more, definitely worth the visit!

Barcelona has got it all
So much to do in Barcelona! History, museums, art galleries, sightseeing. Or beach lounging and swimming. Or endless brunch, tapas restaurants, cava and wine. So many bars, gigs and nightclubs too!

Great city by the beach.
Great city with beautiful buildings and locations to see. A lot of attractions and places to visit. The big minus is that almost all places get closed at 21:00, with mid-day breaks, so it leaves you less time to visit them.

City Weekend Break
We decided to not book transfers from the airport for our arrival, as we had heard there were some good public transport options. The rail/ metro stop is a 7 minute walk from the terminal, and we paid €4.80 each for a ticket for a 45 minute journey. We had to make one change but it was a case of getting off one train, staying on the same platform and getting on the next train. The hotel was great, easy to find and our room was ready early so we were able to drop our bags etc.Amongst other things, we went to the Sangrada Familia, £50 ish for 2 to enter. It’s an impressive building from the outside, and the stain glass windows are pretty great inside, however I wouldn’t pay to go inside again.We also went to the La Boqueria food market. We zigzagged through to make sure we didn’t miss anything, and it is full of amazing smells and colours. Don’t eat before going here as you will regret it! There are plenty of things to choose from, from snacks to sit down meals at a heightened bar.Finally we wanted to get a good view of the city too, so we headed to the Bunkers de Carmel (again by bus, €2.40 each, each way). This was a great spot with an amazing view, very chilled and a lot less tourists.An overall great mix of city, culture, beach and great food.
