The Ultimate Travel Guide to Barcelona
Welcome to Barcelona!
Spain’s second city is famous for many things: mouth-watering Catalan cuisine, the brilliant FC Barcelona and some of the best architecture and art in the world (we’re looking at you, Gaudí). Step onto Barcelona’s streets and you’ll be presented with a city that’s feisty and playful, home to serious cultural heft, but one that’s always a bit fantastical. The city has everything you could ever want – shop til you drop at Passeig de Gracia, sample the finest food at La Boqueria, tick off cultural highlights like La Sagrada Família and Parc Güell, or simply relax and stretch out on Barceloneta beach. This city is for everyone, from art lovers to foodies to beach bums, and everyone in between.
Despite its size, the capital of Catalonia is a surprisingly easy place to find your way around. The best way to enjoy it is to walk through the atmospheric streets of the old town and soak up the energy of the city. What are you waiting for? Check out our guides to learn more about the perfect holiday in Barcelona.
