Beautiful, vibrant, and constantly changing, Barcelona is a unique city and one of the most popular short break destinations in all of Europe. With exciting nightlife, incredible architecture, unique culture, world-class sports, and top quality shopping, Barcelona is a city that offers something for every visitor to enjoy.
The capital of Spain's culturally distinct Catalan region, Barcelona has developed a cultural identity all of its own, and is home to nearly 5 million people. Fiercely promoted as a world-class tourist destination and offering excellent hotels, Barcelona has changed immeasurably over the past few years as it has been transformed from an industrial port city into a cultural centre to rival Madrid, Prague, or Vienna on the world stage.
Amongst the best known of Barcelona's many attractions, some must see sights include the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia Church, and the famous Parc Guell both of which were designed by the architect Gaudi. All visitors should take time to explore the medieval heart of Barcelona in the Gothic Quarter, or walk along La Ramblas to explore the cafes and bars, or La Boqueria food market.
Make sure you leave time to visit the famous zoo, the Olympic Park, the beaches, and of course the views from the cable car to Montjuic. For shopping in Barcelona, why not explore Paseo de Gracia, and no visit to the city is complete without experiencing the incomparable atmosphere at the Nou Camp stadium when FC Barcelona play at home.
