Choosing your next holiday destination is not easy. But let´s be honest, it’s a rather pleasurable ‘problem’ to have, and looking into all the different possibilities is not exactly an ordeal. We would like to recommend the city of Barcelona, a city for everyone. Whether traveling with your partner, friends or family and whether you’re into culture or partying, Barcelona has it all.
Couples / Romance
Barcelona is the perfect city for couples who want to spend a few days somewhere romantic but without the expenses of other romantic destinations like Paris or Venice. The Catalan capital has many places to take a romantic stroll along the beach, on the mountain of Montjuïc or in the old town. There are also many restaurants near the harbor where you can dine with views of the sea and the beach, enjoying exquisite dishes in an intimate atmosphere.
Friends
Barcelona is most certainly one of Europe’s best party cities. Groups of friends from around the world travel to Barcelona to enjoy the nightlife, the many bars and clubs. And there’s something for everyone, from the sophisticated Shôko y Opium to classics like Sala Apollo or City Hall. And in the Eixample district there are many gay bars that would interest tourists searching for a city with LGBT scene. Drinking in Barcelona is cheap, and the good thing is you can sleep it off on the beach the next day. Fantastic!
Family
Taking your children when traveling is not a problem in Barcelona. For starters, many of the city streets are pedestrian-only so you don’t have to worry about cars as much. There’s also an assortment of places you can take them to have a great time, including the Tibidabo Amusement Park; the Museum of Inventions (MIBA); Port Aventura, which one of the best theme parks in Europe and only an hour from the city; and Camp Nou if your kids are passionate about football. You can also take them to the beach or for a bike ride along the beach promenade. The options are endless.
Culture
Barcelona is one of the cultural capitals of the world, known for its modernist buildings such as the Sagrada Familia, the Casa Batlló, the Palau de la Müsica and la Casa Milà (La Pedrera). There are also lots of really interesting museums like the CaixaFòrum, the MNAC (Museu Nacional d´Art de Catalunya), MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and the CCCB (Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona), among others. In addition, traditional festivals such as La Mercè or renowned music festivals like Sonar and Primavera Sound take place throughout the year.
