Things To Do
Shopping, sightseeing, sunbathing - there are plenty of things to do on a break in Barcelona. The Metro is a quick, efficient way of getting around the city, but to see it in all its glory, take an open-topped bus tour. Gaudi's signature architecture can be seen at the spectacular Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo and out of town at tranquil Park Guell. Famous art alleries include the Picasso Museum, Joan Miro Institute and Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona. For greenery galore and great city views, climb the Montjuic hill. Sports fans should visit FC Barcelona's Nou Camp Stadium or the Olympic Stadium and its accompanying museum. Children love the city's aquarium and zoo. The new Las Arenas centre is inside the ex-bullring building and is home to hundreds of shops, restaurants and the Museum of Rock. After exploring the city, there's plenty of space to relax on the Barcelona's golden sandy beach.
Food & Drink
Barcelona has all the eateries you'd expect from a large city, including fast food joints, gourmet restaurants and eveything in between. Local specialities like sangria, tapas and tortillas are best enjoyed al fresco - and many restaurants have terraces or pavement tables. Barcelona's seaside location means the fresh fish and Paella are famously good - grab a table at one of Barceloneta's restuarants and dine by the Mediterranean Sea.
In The Evening
Nightlife in Barcelona is vibrant and varied. La Ramblas and the nearby Gothic Quarter are packed with pubs and bars, while Placa Real has big clubs. For a more bohemian vibe, explore the hip bars of El Raval, or visit the area surrounding Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona. For sophisicated nightlife, head to central El Born area, or venture out to Port Olimpic, where you'll find glossy cocktail bars and glamorous clubs.
