Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Barcelona airport has great public transport links to the city centre. If you’re staying in a central location, many of the main tourist attractions are within walking distance. If not, it’s easy to use the city’s excellent metro and bus services. Taxis are also available. Due to the traffic, driving can be a bit of a headache, and most visitors to Barcelona choose to have a holiday from driving.
History & Culture
This is a city with so many sights you are spoilt for choice. A climb up the steps of Gaudi’s world famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral is a must for your itinerary if you’re after incredible views of the city and its stunning architecture. Park Guell, a short cab ride from the city centre, also affords amazing views right out across to the harbour and is home to outdoor Gaudi sculptures and mosaics. In the evening, stroll down the famous thoroughfare of La Ramblas, stopping at tempting tapas bars en route.
Food & Drink
Barcelona is the home of bite-seized goodies and you cannot return from a trip without trying the tasty tapas. Head to Quimet I Quimet, La Esquincia or El Jabali for magnificent menus full of patatas bravas, tigres and llonganissa sausages as you sip on local wine.
Cruise to Costa Dorada
If you’re after a twin-centre holiday, Barcelona boasts the perfect blend of beach and city and just down the coast lies the beautiful Costa Dorada. Spend a few days exploring the buzzing city life and the city's most famous sights before hitting the city beach or taking a train down the coast to the costa and exploring its chilled out towns and villages and beautiful seaside resorts.
Shopping
It’s not just Zara fans that can fill their boots in Barcelona. This city has it all, so whether you’re looking for a quirky vintage boutique or the latest designer labels you’re sure to spot a staple. The elegant Passeig de Gracia will keep both shoppers and sightseers happy, and Avenida Diagonal is also a mecca for serious shoppers and fashion fans.
