A brief introduction to Barcelona

Barcelona is a beautiful Mediterranean city renowned for its history, architecture and arts. With its stunning coastline, one-of-a-kind Catalan culture and mouth-watering food scene, there’s a multitude of reasons you’ll love Spain’s second largest city.

Start your trip by visiting one of Barcelona’s most iconic landmarks - Antoni Gaudi’s Basílica de la Sagrada Família. Nearby, you can explore the winding alleyways of the historic Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic), a labyrinth of charming shops and local restaurants. For foodies, the Gracia district is renowned for rustic Spanish and Catalan tapas dishes. Some local favourites include la bomba (fried potato croquette stuffed with ground beef) and pan con tomate (bread with tomato).

Art lovers are recommended to visit the Picasso Museum, where they can enjoy a vast collection of works from the Spanish artist. If you’re looking to do some shopping, the famous tree-lined pedestrian street of La Rambla is a great place to pick up an authentic souvenir. For scenic beaches, make sure to include the bustling Barceloneta Beach or the tranquil Nova Icaria Beach in your itinerary.
