Things to do and places to see in Barcelona

Barcelona is definitely one of the best tourist destinations in Europe. The city offers a great choice of unique architecture, modern design, easy access to beaches and fantastic Spanish cuisine. The weather is warm and sunny all year long, which brings even more great vibes to the city. Our top attractions are below:

• Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló & Casa Milà: You will be amazed by the unique style of Antonio Gaudi. Barcelona offers a one of a kind selection of Gaudi's work. The biggest and most astonishing project is Sagrada Família. His basilica is a project of huge scale - it's still only around three quarters complete more than 140 years after Gaudí started it. Other Gaudi's creations like Casa Batlló & Casa Milà are definitely worth a look.
• City Beaches: Barcelona has beautiful beaches accessible from town. It takes around an hour to walk to the beaches but for those who like to stroll in a sunny city, it is definitely time well spent.
• Camp Nou: In the western Les Corts neighbourhood sits the 99,000-seater stadium which is the home of FC Barcelona. It's a MUST SEE for all football fans.
• Montjuïc: The district has a number of museums, including the National Museum of Catalan Art, the Museum of Archaeology and the Ethnology Museum. In our opinion, best of all is the Magic Fountain. This set of modern fountains built on a hill provides a stunning spectacle after dark. The water and colours show is shown live every 30 minutes on weekends.
