About Barcelona

Barcelona is a lively and stylish city, full of great restaurants and a fun atmosphere all year round.

There are hotels for every budget, from cheap places to fancy five-star ones. You can find souvenirs like Gaudí T-shirts and FC Barcelona scarves everywhere, especially on Passeig de Gracia and in the quirky El Born district. In La Rambla, visit Boqueria Market to enjoy a glass of cava after trying out the food stalls. Locals often eat late, usually after 10 pm.

Events like Carnaval have parades and parties, while the Saint Joan festival on June 23 includes fireworks and beach bonfires. The September Festes de la Merce celebrate the city’s patron saint with parades and fireworks.

You can see Gaudí's work all over the city, with must-see places like the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell. If you like modern art, visit the Picasso Museum and Fundació Joan Miró.
