Things to do in Barcelona
Nestled between the sea and the mountains, Barcelona captivates with its seamless blend of ancient history and contemporary flair. Explore its Gothic Quarter, vibrant markets, urban beaches, and the modernist architecture that defines every corner. Here, each street tells a different story, waiting to be experienced.
Enjoy art outdoors
ArtAlthough Barcelona boasts a wealth of exceptional art galleries and museums, you don't need to spend a penny to enjoy its art. Stroll along Passeig de Gràcia to see some of the finest examples of Catalan Modernism. On La Rambla del Raval, you can take photos with the enormous bronze cat created by Fernando Botero, the renowned Colombian sculptor. Visit Plaça Isidre Nonell in Ciutat Vella to admire another contemporary work: a large photomosaic by Joan Fontcuberta, composed of some 4,000 photographs taken by locals. "El món neix en cada besada" (The world is born with every kiss) will delight you both from afar and up close.
Find the best views
HistoryTo discover the best views of the city, visit Parc del Guinardó. A network of circular paths winds its way up the hill. The summit offers fantastic panoramic views of Barcelona. Above it, just a little further up, you'll find the Carmel bunkers, atop Turó de la Rovira. They were built as anti-aircraft batteries in 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, and were restored in 2000. Please note that families still live on the adjacent streets; respect their peace and privacy.
Vermouth
FoodVermouth is to Barcelona what brunch is to New York. It's so good it practically has its own verb. "Hacer el vermut" or "vermutear" means to enjoy this drink with some of Barcelona's most typical tapas: patatas bravas, olivas (olives), and bombas (potato croquettes in batter, filled with spicy meat). It's definitely one of Barcelona's traditions you can't miss. The best places? Visit the small bodegas in neighborhoods like Gràcia or Barceloneta.
Explore the city on foot or by bike.
SportBarcelona has a lot to offer and a wide variety of things, but it's not that big in area. The best way to enjoy it, especially with the wonderful year-round weather, is on foot or by bike. In fact, you can cross the entire city from end to end in two hours on foot. To give you some context: Avenida Diagonal, the longest avenue, is 10 kilometers long. That's equivalent to crossing the Palermo neighborhood in Buenos Aires twice, or half of Manhattan.
