barcelona

Hello, barcelona

Impressive architecture and hip restaurants meet a sunny Spanish climate and beautiful beaches. This has transformed Barcelona, in just a few decades, from a rough port city into one of Europe's, if not the world's, premier destinations. Stroll along La Rambla and Passeig de Gràcia, admire Gaudí's masterpieces, lose yourself in the Gothic Quarter, bask in the sun at Barceloneta beach, and discover some of the city's vibrant late-night haunts while you're at it.

Ciutadella Park

Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona's green lung, is not only the most central park in the city but also a park that includes a zoo, a lake, a large fountain, and a couple of museums. In the centre of the park, you will even find the building where the Catalan Parliament is seated. So take a walk, have a picnic, and enjoy this very lusciously green and well-maintained park.

The Carmel Bunkers (MUHBA Turó de la Rovira)

Perched atop Turó de la Rovira in the Carmel neighbourhood, the Bunkers del Carmel remains one of the few “secret” places in Barcelona, not overtaken by tourists yet. These are the remnants of a 1937 air-raid bunker from the Spanish Civil War, now a peaceful spot to enjoy a stunning 360-degree panorama of the city. It’s an especially magical place to visit at sunset, as the golden light fades and Barcelona transforms into a sparkling sea of lights.

Gaudí Experiència

The Gaudí Experiència is an interactive museum that offers visitors a chance to travel inside the creative mind of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and understand what inspired him in a fun and magical way. There is a 4-D movie, exhibits, and interactive walls with several languages that put the life and works of the genius architect at your fingertips.

CosmoCaixa Museum of Science

CosmoCaixa is a must-visit for science enthusiasts of all ages. This hands-on museum in Barcelona combines education with curiosity, featuring interactive exhibits on physics, geology, biology, and more. Permanent highlights include the 'Flooded Forest', a living recreation of the Amazon rainforest complete with 30-metre-tall trees and tropical wildlife, and the 'Geological Wall', showcasing massive rock samples that tell Earth’s story. There’s also the 'Room of Matter', which delves into the origins of the universe, and a Planetarium for stargazers.
