Things To Do In Barcelona

Barcelona makes a great weekend break destination because there is so much to do, no matter what you are interested. Ideally for a beach and cultural city break, Barcelona's numerous museums and architectural wonders will amaze. And once you're done with the sights, you can head to the beach to grab some much needed sunbathing time.

Into sport? Then a trip to Camp Nou, Barcelona Football Club's stadium is a great excursion. Learn about the history of the team and stadium on a tour, or if you're lucky enough to be in town on a match day. See if you can get tickets and experience the incredible atmosphere at this impressive stadium first-hand.

Where To Stay In Barcelona

Hotels in Barcelona range in star-rating and price greatly but there are plenty of money saving deals to be had.

Some of the cheaper hotels can be found in the suburbs of the city, meaning a short commute in each day is necessary to see the sights. If this is the option, make sure to note the last metro times from the city centre to your local station.

You may want to avoid the area of La Ramblas when choosing your hotel unless you have plenty of money to spend. This popular area attracts plenty of tourists but also higher prices too.

Alternatively, a number of good standard beach hotels are located along the nearby coastline. Ideal for enjoying the beautiful sandy beaches, yet close enough to head into the city centre for a spot of culture or traditional tapas.
