The sheer number of Barcelona highlights may seem overwhelming. Amongst the “not to be missed” on a Barcelona tour are Antonio Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia, his Casa Mila and Park Güell, Las Ramblas, the Cathedral, the Picasso Museum, the Barrio Gótico, and simply enjoying the buzz of this marvellous city with a long café con leche in one of the hundreds of terrace cafés.

 

Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city that combines the past, present and future. it is one of the finest cities in Europe, elegantly embodying architecture of all styles and centuries. Apart from having one of the best preserved Gothic style city centres, the city is full of marvellous buildings, with Gaudí and other modernistas bringing together the richest selection of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. Gaudi‘s Sagrada Familia and the multicoloured Torre Agbar are two fine examples from both eras. World class museums display everything from impressive Romanesque frescos and the joy of Joan Miró, through to gold from pre-Columbian America and the first works of Picasso.

 

Whilst Barcelona is full of treasures in art and architecture, many prefer to develop their talents differently, such as the young people skating the squares and streets of the city, or those in the kitchen. It seems that in Barcelona it’s always time to have lunch or dinner and the traditional and contemporary Catalan cuisine, considered one of the best in the world, offers a large amount of culinary sensations. Chef Ferran Adriá is considered one of the world's best chefs and tops the European Restaurant Ranking. His restaurant 'El Bulli' has three Michelin stars and is regarded as one of the best restaurants in the world.
