Barcelona Travel Guide
Neatly framed by the Mediterranean and the hills of Montjuïc and Tibidabo, Barcelona is not only Spain's most vibrant metropolis, but also, arguably, Europe's most popular and rewarding short break destination.
Where else can offer historic cobbled streets that ooze Mediterranean atmosphere; bars and restaurants with real local character; charming individual shops; world-class museums and galleries; eye-popping architecture; golden beaches a short stroll from superlative street theatre, vibrant year-round nightlife and splendid performing arts venues; and, of course, an infectious dose of football fever?
Barcelona is a city of great beauty, to be admired from any one of a dozen different viewpoints - from hilltops, cable cars, funiculars and cathedral spires.
Barcelona is also a showcase of art nouveau architecture, including the famous works of Antoni Gaudí. His masterpiece is the unfinished Sagrada Familia cathedral, but his work can be seen all over town, even in the lampposts and fountains of Plaça Reial.
