Barcelona, Spain
Futuristic architecture, fabulous shopping, frenzied football, fine food and wine – cool Barcelona has it all!
Spain’s hippest city takes first prize for living life in the fast lane. Snap up cutting-edge fashion or tuck into tapas in a funky street bar. Goggle at Gaudí’s surreal cathedral or soak up some history in the old part of town. Need a break? Then pull up a chair at a pavement café and just watch the world go by.
Don’t Miss
La Sagrada Familia – You may not know the name but you’ll recognise the building. Gaudí’s famous, weirdly-wonderful and still unfinished church is a must-see for any visitor to the city.
Las Ramblas – Amble down the Ramblas, Barcelona’s famous pedestrianised avenue that’s a hang out for buskers, artists, street performers, flower vendors and hawkers selling everything under the sun.
Gothic Quarter – Wander the narrow cobbled streets of the Barri Gòtic, crammed with 14th and 15th century Gothic buildings and home to the magnificent medieval cathedral.
Montjüic – Take a break in Barcelona’s main recreation area and visit one of the five museums, the Spanish Village or the Olympic Stadium.
