Bonjour, barcelona

Impressive architecture and hip restaurants meet a sunny Spanish climate and beautiful beaches.

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.

Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium

Barcelona’s Montjuïc Hill is home to several iconic structures from the 1992 Olympic Games, including the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, which remains one of the city’s most impressive landmarks. The stadium, still used for major events today, stands at the heart of the Olympic complex. Surrounding it, you'll find the Olympic Swimming Complex, the striking Olympic Spire, and beautifully landscaped walkways that weave through the park, offering panoramic views of the city.

National Art Museum of Catalonia

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) is a must-visit for art lovers, offering a sweeping journey through Catalonia’s artistic heritage. While the museum is famous for its remarkable collection of Romanesque mural paintings (some of the finest in Europe), it also houses a diverse range of works. Highlights include Gaudí-designed furniture and illustrations by Ramón Casas, alongside other masterpieces of Catalan Modernism.

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.

Cardona

Cardona, a charming medieval village just an hour from Barcelona, is steeped in history and natural beauty. A highlight of any visit is the iconic Salt Mountain, a one-of-a-kind geological formation that offers guided tours into its shimmering salt caves. The imposing Castell de Cardona, perched on a hill, once served as the residence of the influential Cardona family, among Catalonia’s wealthiest lineages. Today, the castle houses a parador (luxury hotel) and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Don’t miss exploring the Medieval Centre, where cobbled streets and historic buildings will transport you back in time.
