Barcelona is one of Europe's great capitals, a party city teeming with art, history, music and the seaside. Stay in central Barcelona or in one of the many coastal resorts to the north and south of the city, a short drive or train ride from central Barcelona.
In Catalonia we recommend:
- Walking down the Ramblas, the city’s most famous street and watching the street entertainers
- Visiting Gaudi’s Parc Guell and the Sagrada Familia cathedral
- Discovering the Monastery at Montserrat Abbey
- Spending the day at Port Aventura theme park or a water park
- Exploring some of the fabulous beach towns on the Costas Dorada and Maresme
- Visiting the Roman ruins in Tarragona
