Our Favourite Things to Do in Barcelona
A city of unique architecture and impressive urban planning, sun-kissed Barcelona is a destination like no other. No wonder why it’s one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe. So, here’s our list of the best things to do in gorgeous Barcelona.
Stroll Along La Rambla
Don’t miss the chance to walk along La Rambla, a splendid pedestrianized boulevard in the heart of Barcelona. Although this walk can get really crowded, nobody can blame the millions of visitors who flock to La Rambla for their evening stroll; it’s simply irresistible.
Spend a Sunny Day At Park Güell
Yet another of Gaudí’s masterpieces, Park Güell is Barcelona’s must-see park. Once you’re inside the park’s gates you can’t help but feel that you’ve stepped inside a world that you thought would only exist in the wildest of imaginations. But it’s real.
Access to the vast park is free of charge but you need to buy a ticket in order to visit the park’s Monumental Area which is home to the most impressive of Gaudí’s works. Better still, you can visit the Monumental Area on a guided tour and then stroll around the rest of the park at your own pace.
Mingle With Locals At Barceloneta Beach
Barceloneta may not be a beach of crystal clear waters but who goes there to swim anyway? Barceloneta Beach is the ideal place for taking long walks or spending casual afternoons on the sand among locals and visitors alike.
Look For Messi At Camp Nou
Whether you are football fans or not, Camp Nou, the legendary home stadium of FC Barcelona, is an essential stop. Most probably you won’t be seeing Messi himself during your visit, but you’ll get to sit at the very same changing rooms he sits during matches. That’s really something, isn’t it?
