Things to do in Barcelona
Admire the architecture
Gaudí’s iconic, unfinished basilica stands out with its intricate facades and surreal interiors. Don’t miss his other masterpieces: Casa Batlló’s colorful mosaics, Casa Milà’s wavy stone façade, and Park Güell’s whimsical sculptures and panoramic views.
Explore the Gothic Quarter
Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) is the city’s medieval heart, a maze of narrow, cobbled streets, hidden squares and ancient Roman ruins. It’s made for aimless wandering — discover sunlit plazas, tucked-away tapas bars and striking landmarks like the Barcelona Cathedral. Pause at Plaça Reial, a lively palm-lined square perfect for a drink and a bit of people-watching.
Relax at Barceloneta Beach
Barceloneta Beach is Barcelona’s most popular sandy spot, perfect for swimming, beach volleyball, or relaxing with a cold drink. The lively promenade buzzes with cyclists and street performers, while beachfront bars serve fresh seafood and paella. Stay for sunset to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and music by the sea.
