1) La Sagrada Familia Church

It attracts more than 3 million visitors a year and, what is most fascinating is that it is still under construction more than 100 years on.

2) Unique Parc Guell

The quirky and unique garden, another of Gaudi’s creations. The park comes with stunning views over the city and a famous artwork lizard 🙂

3) The Gothic Quarter

It is like something out of a fairytale. Lots of cosy cafes and street musicians to create relaxing atmospehre for the coffee time during the day and dark and mysterious paths duting the night.

4) World-Class Beaches

Some of the best beaches in Europe are located exactly here. In fact, National Geographic called Barcelona the best urban beach and the third best beach in the world. 🙂

5) The Boutique Shopping

Barcelona is dotted with so many independently owned small authentic boutiques, where you will definetely find something which will be made exactly for your taste:)

6) Sangria

There is nothing like the sweet taste of a cold glass of sangria on a warm sunny day in Barcelona. Sangria stands for “bloodletting,” and is a signature Spanish drink created in Andalucia.

7) FC Barcelona

If you are a football fan, check out Camp Nou, the home to FC Barcelona when there is a game on. We promise you an unforgettable experience!

8) Free WiFi

Barcelona has hundreds of free WiFi spots all over the city, so you can always check up good places nearby, get in touch with family and friends and share your vacation experience online.

9) Jamon

The two major categories of Spanish ham are jamón serrano and jamón ibérico. In Barcelona you can find it sold in the small cones, which most people are more used to fill in with sweets and not with salty pieces of delicious meat. 😉
