Barcelona's Beaches

Barcelona has several beaches within easy reach, each with its own vibe. Mar Bella and Bogatell sit just minutes apart. Mar Bella is naturist and gay-friendly, while Bogatell draws volleyball players and sunbathers. Both are close to trendy bars and restaurants. The most famous one is Barceloneta, stretching roughly 1.1 km from the W Hotel to Port Olímpic. It's popular with locals and tourists alike, especially after work. Cyclists, joggers, and inline skaters love its promenade. For a quieter scene, Nova Icària offers calm waters and family-friendly facilities, while Ocata Beach in El Masnou, a 20-minute train ride north, provides expansive sands and a peaceful escape from the city.

Tibidabo Amusement Park

The Tibidabo Amusement Park is a magical place and a true Barcelona landmark. Located on top of Mount Tibidabo, 512 m above sea level, it is the highest point on Collserola Ridge, a magnificent natural park with ten million trees, and all this with the city of Barcelona as an exceptional backdrop. The Tibidabo Amusement Park dates back more than 100 years and is one of the oldest in the world.

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.

Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art – MACBA

Escape the hustle and bustle of Barcelona with a visit to the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), a hub of contemporary art located in the El Raval neighbourhood. The museum showcases an impressive collection of Spanish and Catalan works from the mid-20th century onward. It also features an array of international pieces, with rotating exhibitions that bring fresh perspectives to its permanent collection.
