Hola, 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.

Park of the Labyrinth of Horta

Designed in 1792, Parc del Laberint d’Horta is Barcelona’s oldest garden and a hidden gem for those seeking tranquillity away from the city's bustling centre. It surrounds Torre Soberana, a 14th-century country house later redesigned in the Arabesque style. The park’s highlight is its cypress hedge maze, where visitors can get lost in a whimsical journey while encountering sculptures of mythological figures like Eros.

Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

Montjuïc, known as the 'Mountain of the Jews', rises 173 metres above the city, offering stunning views and a rich history. At its base lies the grand staircase of the Palau Nacional, which faces west toward the Font Màgica (Magic Fountain). This fountain, built in 1929 for the Universal Exposition, is the centrepiece of a series of cascading waterfalls and ponds along Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina. Today, the Magic Fountain is one of Barcelona’s most beloved attractions, drawing crowds of locals and visitors alike, who come here to watch the magical show of jets of water blasting into the sky while dancing to the rhythm of lights and music.

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.

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.
