Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. It combines modern and historic architecture like no other city.
The modernist movement with Antoní Gaudi as its most prominent member left its mark on the city with magnificent buildings like the Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló.

Barcelona has several districts, each with its own distinctive character: the historic Barri Gòtic, the modernist Eixample district, the Montjuïc - site of the 1992 Olympics - and the modernized Port Vell are some of the areas you should explore during your visit to Barcelona.

Some Barcelona Highlights:
