To date, I already visited the city of Barcelona on two occasion (each were 1 week stays), and I still think that there are many attractions which are but to be explored. I will undoubtedly revisit quickly, given that I basically fell in love with the location. If you are organizing to pay a visit to Barcelona (or pondering about it) right here are some cool suggestions from a travel junkie.
Highlights:
Going to the old part (Barri Gothic Region) of the city is an ought to-see, however in my opinion, the very best parts of Barcelona are its contributions to 20th Century architecture.
1 should definitely go to all monuments left by famous 20th-century architect Antonio Gaudi Parc Guell, Casa Miro, Casa Batlo, and most of all, the popular, unfinished Sagrada Famiglia Cathedral.
Other definite monuments to be seen are the Palau de la Musica, The Maritime Museum, Picasso Museum, The Olympic Complicated, and for the finest nightlife of all, the Olympic Village.
Day Trip Recommendations:
I would typically suggest a trip to Salou, where one finds the magical theme park of Port Aventura. We spent two nights in the resort which adjoins the park, and booked this straight by means of the Web . When I tried booking via my agent it was going to price me 15% more. Hence, merely book this your self since its extremely easy to do so.
Arriving to the destination, is quite simple considering that the resort and the theme park has a station positioned only 100m away from it. Whilst, Port Aventura may possibly not be as big as DisneyLand Paris in size, I personally really feel that it has a certain environment of adventure which the Parisian park lacks.
Other day trips worth considering are a go to to the wonderful Montserrat Mountains, as effectively as a go to to lovely seaside resort of Stiges. You might get really beneficial day trip packages which incorporate transportation, museum entrances, and lunch at the Tourist Information Office.
Getting Literature
In addition to acquiring a good guide book (DK has a very colorful and informative guide), I would recommend that you would log onto the Barcelona Tourist Details office site, and speak to them asking for some literature. For a quite modest charge (most likely much less than three Euros), they will send you really valuable maps and guides which will definitely help you in preparing your trip.
