Its active art scene is evident in its museums, architecture, and colourful public spaces. Enjoy the nightlife and entertainment at jazz clubs and tapas bars.

Wander through pedestrian only streets, exploring markets and shops or stroll through parks and enjoy the weather. Your Barcelona vacation will have you cherishing this loveable city and craving to return again soon.
