Barcelona is framed by the Mediterranean to its east, situated in Catalunya in Northeast Spain. Blessed with a pleasant climate all year round, it has emerged as a top European destination. One of the reasons for this is the spectacular architecture, which can be enjoyed throughout the city. There are excellent museums as well, including the Picasso Museum and the National Museum of Catalonian Art. Start your exploration of Barcelona on La Rambia, a well-known main avenue, going from Plaza de Catalunya all the way to the port. Along the way you can enjoy cafes, restaurants, shops and a variety of street performers.

The area known as Barri Gothic is a maze of streets containing many Gothic buildings and housing many museums as well as La Cathedral, Barcelona's largest cathedral. And of course you don't want to miss the famous La Sagrada Familia, which remains one of the city's most visited sights. Don't forget to bring your bathing suit; sunbathing on the beach is a must in Barcelona!
