Things to do in Barcelona

Attractions in Barcelona

• Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona’s prized architect, has created a number of masterpieces around the city centre that are a must see for holidaymakers. Find more about Gaudi in Barcelona on the easyJet Holidays Blog.
• Head down to Port Vell, Barcelona’s bustling harbour, to see the magnificent yachts and visit the numerous restaurants and gelateries. Walk a little further and you’ll come across Port Olimpica, home to Barcelona’s most beautiful beaches.

Art and Culture in Barcelona

• Barcelona is famous for its beautiful buildings and museums. Museo Picasso houses a selection of the artist’s earlier pieces set in pretty courtyards and galleries.
• Visit La Sagrada Familia, a towering construction that is still under construction after 100 years and stands half as tall as it will do upon completion – a fact you will find hard to swallow when you see it.

The streets of Barcelona

• Stroll along Las Ramblas to take in the vibe of Barcelona. A kilometre-long tree-lined street that splits the city in two down to the seafront, Las Ramblas has everything from shops and restaurants to street performers and Spain’s best market, La Boqueria.
• In the Gothic Quarter, lies the old town of Barcelona, lined with towering medieval buildings dating from the fourteenth century. La Seu, with its Gothic staircase to the top of the tower and magnificent views of neighbouring spires, has to be the most impressive cathedral of this old corner of the city.

Barcelona Nightlife

• Sophistication and quirkiness are the theme of the bars here, where you can find salsa and flamenco sessions happening every night of the week and jazz chords blaring out of the underground taverns.
• For those partygoers amongst you, Barcelona has much to offer after dark. Pacha nightclub hosts the best parties in town, with its vast collection of resident DJs keeping the crowds going until the early hours.
