Traveling to Barcelona
Information and tips
Barcelona has been a popular destination for city breaks for some time and those venturing to Barcelona on a city trip will find plenty to do.Barcelona's charm is partly due to the art and architecture of Antonio Gaudi. The "Sagrada Familia" church, which is still unfinished, and the Parc Güell, that is especially popular amongst photographers, are two of the most popular Gaudi attractions in Barcelona. Other artists such as Picasso were also inspired by the city and left their traces here.
Another highlight in Barcelona is shopping, as the fashion is highly up to date, yet unique.
Despite Barcelona's uniqueness as a result of its artistic influences, it is still traditionally Spanish. Siestas are taken very seriously and respected throughout the city, la cena (dinner) is taken late in the evening so the sunset can be enjoyed on the beach or on the Ramblas afterwards, the traditional shopping promenade.
Barcelona is also a popular party destination. In the harbors area, there are clubs to suit all tastes and these continue all night long until the morning hours.
It should be easy enough to find a hotel in Barcelona. Hotel 1898 on the Ramblas, and Hotel Princess are especially popular.
