Review of Barcelona
Barcelona
Take flights to Barcelona for intimate tapas bars, seaside promenades and stunning Modernist architecture.
Things to do
Climb the spiral stairs of La Sagrada Família, for heart-pounding Barcelona views stretching to the sea. The spiky stone towers soar above the church’s Nativity Facade, a riot of intricate carvings of flowers, animals and sacred imagery.
Shopping
Browse glamorous Passeig de Gràcia for designer home-wares and fashion on your Barcelona city break. Quirky Modernista buildings line Barcelona’s key shopping avenue, and outdoor cafés serve welcome tapas and drinks under the dappled shade of plane trees.
Restaurants
Paella is a Barcelona signature dish, scattered with succulent prawns and mussels. Share a platter on the Barceloneta waterfront after your flights to Barcelona, accompanied by chilled white wine and the soft breeze wafting in off the sea.
Nightlife
A dozen bars line the arcades of Plaça Reial in the Gothic quarter. Hear live jazz, watch flamenco, dance on your Barcelona holiday or relax under palm trees and Art Nouveau lamps in one of Barcelona’s most historic squares.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Barcelona. Experience February’s Carnaval or visit in September to watch the La Mercè Festival street parades in honour of Barcelona’s patron saint.

Culture clash24 Nov 12
The visit to Sagrada familia, the Campnou and shopping at centro commercial la Maquinista will be remembered the most. We even had a treasure hunt organized by the H10 Marina at night!Dan - Kenya

Lovely city16 Nov 12
I enjoyed Barcelona very much. The food is excellent if you stay away from the Ramlas and one visit is not enough to see the entire city.Report abuseHenry - united kingdom

Great city28 Feb 12
Wonderful city with a good combination of culture and beach. We visit a lot of the Gaudi's master pieces. I especially loved Casa batlo and the Sagrada familia. The boat trip along the coast was a little bit disappointed.Ilse - The Netherlands

Rent a bike and explore the city in a different way! Tip: rent your bike at cruising Barcelona. Nice Dutch girls and great citybikes! Buy your ticket for the Sagrada familia in advance. You can buy them in special ATM (everywhere in the city, but not close to the Sagrada familia itself). So avoid the long queues!
