Places to visitSagrada Familia

The building is in the centre of Barcelona, and it has become one the most universal signs of identity of the city. It is visited by millions of people every year and many more study its architectural and religious content. It has been built from donations and the building is still going on and could be finished some time in the first third of the 21st century.

Park Guell

Antoni Gaudí is one of the outstanding figures of Catalan culture, apart from Sagrada Familia he is well known for Park Guell; a singular park to spend the day for a walk. It’s the expression of a desire for the modernization and from its visitor can enjoy the spectacular view of the Skyline of Barcelona

BeachesIf you come in Summer, do not forget to visit our famous beach in the district of “La Barceloneta” where you can do some sport, drink a good “sangria” and eat in one of the various Chiringuitos.

The weather it’s nice during all the year, so just get lost in the city to taste the atmosphere of the people who live there.

Business in BarcelonaFrom Passeig de Gràcia to Plaça Catalunya there’s a nice walk where you can see all the financial part as well as enjoy the “shopping”. An area where you can find “luxury” stores like D&G, Hugo Boss, Longchamp, Gucci or Loewe. There are a lot of restaurants, cafeterias with nice terraces to sit during the day and night.

Do not miss the magnificence of the city, with its incredible buildings and shops.

Barri Gotic and El BornLa Basilica de Santa María del Mar is in the center of the oldest neighborhood called “El Gotic”. It is a labyrinth of narrow streets, steeped in history and filled with laid back arty bars and cafes. It’s the perfect place to chill out away from the more cosmopolitan way.

There are a lot of little boutiques in the district, and I especially love its places where people get together and play guitar. In this medieval environment go and visit he Cathedral of Barcelona.

When you go to the typical “granjas” you have to

A great variety of museums are waiting for you. Like the Nacional Museum of Art. MNAC can offer you wonderful paintings and a nice view of Barcelona.

In front of the MNAC do not forget to see the Magic Fountain.

Free shows every weekend from 9 until 23. A spectacular performance of music and colors.

Monastir de Pedralbes

In Baixada del Monestir, 9 08034. Founded in 1327 the building is located in the old township of Sarrià. Is the best examples of Catalan Gothic architecture.

Renting a bike is the best low cost option to discover the city. There are special tours for groups. You can also find electric cars enjoying Bcn in an original, fun and eco-friendly way.TIBIDABO

Tibidabo is the highest mountain in the Collserola mountain range. It is worth it alone because of its breathtaking view and also due to its amusement park.

Even the trip to Tibidabo is a pleasure, you can take the Blue Tram; it used to be the only tram in Barcelona for a long time and is still unique.

Close to Tibidabo, you will find “the place to be” in Bcn, the local with more visitors; the best views in the whole city where you can also go for a drink, have lunch and dance at night.
