Hallo, 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.

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.

Sitges

Just 35 km south of Barcelona, Sitges is a favourite day-trip destination that offers a perfect mix of relaxation and charm. Known for its golden beaches and easygoing atmosphere, the town invites visitors to spend a leisurely day soaking up the sun or wandering its narrow, cobblestone streets. Along the way, you'll discover trendy boutiques, historic sights like the Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla, and a tempting array of seaside restaurants serving fresh seafood. For those staying overnight, Sitges’ well-reputed nightlife is not to be missed.

L’Aquàrium de Barcelona

The sharks are the stars at this Mediterranean-themed aquarium, but you'll be able to see almost all kinds of marine species here. The aquarium is situated at the end of Las Ramblas and is very close to the city centre. When here, make sure not to miss the tunnel where you can spot stingrays, sharks, and many kinds of fish swimming around and above you.

La Rambla

La Rambla is Barcelona’s most famous street, actually a series of five connected avenues, each with its own character. The central, tree-lined promenade is pedestrian-only and buzzes (nearly 24/7) with street performers, souvenir stalls, cafés, and tapas bars. It’s lively and fun, but keep an eye on your belongings as pickpockets are notorious here.
