Basking In The Beauty Of Barcelona

There are few places as perfectly suited to gorgeous city breaks as Barcelona. Boasting typically temperate and sunny weather, as well as a huge variety of city-based entertainments and activities, Barcelona is a wonderful place to enjoy a short holiday. Steeped in the rich culture of Catalonia, you'll find there are beautiful galleries, building and exhibitions to be enjoyed, as well as a number of modern attractions. From shopping to lazing on the beach, there's something for everyone - no matter whether you're planning a busy, revitalising break or a chilled out weekend.



Simply taking a walk through the streets of Barcelona is sure to give you that holiday feeling, thanks to the friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and the busy pubs and restaurants. What's more, you'll have the chance to enjoy views of some of Europe's best examples of Gothic architecture, free of charge. Barcelona is also home to a large selection of galleries and museums, so if you'd like to also enjoy a taste of everything that made it the city it is today, you're sure to find it easy when you pay a visit to places like the Picasso Museum and the gorgeous Santa Maria Del Mar church.

Of course, as home to some very passionate football fans, Barcelona city breaks can also take on a sporting theme. Whether you're a football fan yourself, keen to get a glimpse of FC Barcelona, or you're accompanying one, you'll find there's plenty to do and see in Barcelona post- and pre match. Relax in some of the city's excellent bars and make sure you sample local delicacies and some of the classic dishes that have graced the Catalonian menu for the past seven hundred years or so.



If you're hoping to pick up a few mementos on your city break, then a trip along the Passeig de Gracia is advised - here you'll find some of Barcelona's best loved boutiques. Take a stroll along the Barcelona Shopping Line, in the city's historical core, and enjoy a wonderful mixture of shops and sightseeing opportunities.



During the summer months, you'll find that the seaside in Barcelona is busy, but that there is a great party spirit and welcoming vibe. Spend a few hours sunning yourself on Bogatell beach, which was created for the 1992 Olympic Games, or enjoy the views from the beaches of Old Barceloneta. Be sure to pack the sun cream though, if you want to be able to enjoy Barcelona city breaks without going home with some tan lines
