Discover Barcelona
Get under the skin of Barcelona on an overland journey by train through Spain, with time to discover the city sites and venture out into lesser-known suburbs.
Barcelona blends architectural marvels with Mediterranean vibrancy. Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia and Park Güell shape the skyline with surreal forms, while the Gothic Quarter’s medieval streets reveal hidden squares and lively tapas bars. La Rambla bustles with performers and food stalls, and Barceloneta Beach offers a seaside escape. Barcelona’s mix of art, culture, and coastal relaxation makes it an iconic destination for those seeking both history and lively city energy.
Local areas in and around Barcelona
Holidays by land and sea
Antoni Gaudí's imagination can be found throughout the city. Visit Casa Batlló and Casa Milà on Passeig de Gràcia, Parc Güell for colourful ceramic structures, or the still-unfinished Sagrada Família.
Relax at one of the numerous beaches nearby. The most famous and popular, Barceloneta is closest to the city centre. Alternatively, head north to Platja d'Ocata, a pristine, tranquil stretch of beach.
Overlooking Barcelona, Montjüic is a hilltop vantage point a world away from the city. Explore the castle and botanic gardens, and see the grand Olympic Stadium originally built for the 1929 Olympics.
Explore Barcelona’s history at MUHBA, with its main building on Plaça del Rei. This living museum houses Roman villas, an underground winery, and the largest Roman excavation outside Rome.
