Given all the range of possible activities to take part in and the endless attractions to see here in Barcelona, it is almost impossible to enjoy them all in a short time-span.

Under this wide array of activities to participate in here in Barcelona, some of the things that you simply cannot miss out on include Barcelona’s museums and the city’s best sites, ideal for going sightseeing, such as, Antoni Gaudís Barcelona, the city’s Gothic quarter Barrio Gótico and much more.

Barcelona is one of the worlds most interesting and unique metropolitan centers and among other things, is particularly well known for its broad offer of all sorts of museums. There are interesting museums to be found all over the city on the widest range of subjects and themes, in attempt to answer to all kinds of tastes and interests. Due to such large variety it is completely understandable when visitors in Barcelona become baffled as to what museum to visit first and how to squeeze them all in during a rather short visit.

Something else that cannot be left out of a travel itinerary would definitely be some free time to go shopping in Barcelona. Go window-shopping, visit the markets, check out the great antique stores and be sure to include a few good coffee breaks to keep energy levels high! Las Ramblas is a great place to start.

At the weekend
Why not consider a trip by ferry or plane to the islands of IBIZA, MALLORCA or MENORCA. Ibiza is the party capital of the world and it can be easily reached from Barcelona. Ferries leaves daily from the port of Valencia to all 3 ports. The ferry normally leaves a few times daily during the week and once at the weekend, the price per person varies depending on your destination.

Partial to a drop of wine? Well, on this tour you can spend a morning in one of the most famous Spanish Wine cellars in Europe, the famous Cava Winery Cordorniu, located outside of Barcelona in Sant Sadurni D'Noia in the Penedés wine region. Afterwards you can head to the peaceful coastal village of Sitges for a mouth-watering lunch by the sea!

For sun worshippers, head to the beaches at the weekend! Barcelona has good, clean, sunny beaches within 15 – 45 minutes away.
