One of Europe's most popular destinations for a city break, Barcelona is characterised by stunning architectural diversity, from the medieval marvels of the Gothic Quarter to the Catalan Modernist works of Antoni Gaudí, and a wealth of museums and galleries at every corner. The city is split into barrios, all completely unique and perfectly spaced to explore on foot. In the summer, visitors flock to numerous music festivals and the easily accessible golden beaches. Then there's the eclectic nightlife, endless sunshine and fabulous food - Barcelona has some of the most inventive cuisine in the world. Sample wine in lively bars, savour the taste of Catalunya in traditional tapas restaurants and soak up the atmosphere of this glorious cosmopolitan city.

The night holds limitless possibilities in Barcelona. Start with sunset drinks on a panoramic terrace or dig your heels in the sand at a rustic beachside chiringuito (temporary snack bar). As darkness falls, live music transforms the city: the rapid-fire rhythms of flamenco, brassy jazz spilling out of basements, and hands-in-the-air indie-rock at vintage concert halls. Towards midnight the bars fill. Take your pick from old-school taverns adorned with 19th-century murals, plush lounges in lamp-lit medieval chambers or boisterous cava bars. If you're still standing at 3am, hit the clubs and explore Barcelona's unabashed wild side.

Barcelona has an excellent public transport network. Buy a T10 pass from any ticket machine to get ten one-way trips for $11. Alternatively, if you buy individual single tickets, they will cost $2.30. The passes are valid on all metros, buses, trains and trams operated by TMB, Renfe and FGC. Taxis in Barcelona are also cheap, hassle-free and easy to find.

Barcelona contains both the authentically historic and the wildly bizarre. From the scenic trails of the colorful Park Güell to the romantic narrow alleys of Barri Gòtic; from the beachside nightclubs to the city's dozens of sacred churches and architectural marvels, this city by the sea seems to attract all types: the adventurer, the couple, the partier, the culture lover – and more – with an almost overwhelming variety of things to do. You could stay for a few days, but chances are you'll need a whole week to explore.

The best time to visit the Barcelona is from May to June when balmy temperatures in the low to mid-70s mesh with a flurry of festivals that trumpet the advent of summer. The actual summertime is sticky with humidity – locals leave their beloved city in droves to catch a breeze somewhere else. They come back for the fall when the average highs drop back into the 70s. Winter is mild compared to other Spanish destinations, with highs in the high 50s. And while coming during the spring may seem like smart idea for avoiding crowds, April sees frequent showers, which may put a literal damper on sightseeing plans (most of Barcelona's top attractions are experienced outside). Keep in mind that no matter what time of the year you'll visit, there will be tourist crowds: Barcelona is the most-visited city in Spain.

Spain’s second largest and definitely most cosmopolitan city, and one of the Mediterranean’s busiest ports. Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, which is a region of Spain with its own language – Catalan, and it’s own culture and

character.

Barcelona offers the best of both worlds, situated on the Costa Brava on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, the city gently rises up from the coastline

through the city and up into a range of wooded hills.

Famous for breaking ground art, architecture and avant-garde chefs; the city eclipses many other for its creativity and forward thinking.

On my recent visit to Barcelona, I was disappointed to see that the statue of Pablo Casals near Placa de Francesc Macia has been vandalised. The cello bow has been broken off. Hope it gets fixed soon.

The burgeoning city of Barcelona is nestled comfortably between towering mountain ranges and the idyllic Mediterranean. Though it is most widely known for its beautiful modernist Gaudi structures, landscaped beaches, vibrant nightlife, and great shopping, the city is also teeming with hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. These serene settings, relatively unknown to tourists, provide a pleasant contrast to the crowded and bustling city life.

The proud capital of Catalonia, Barcelona is a city of immense spirit and cultural pride. At its core, a labyrinth of medieval alleyways harbor a glut of Roman relics, while the vivid modernist architecture, world-class museums and thriving gastronomy scene make it a seductively alluring destination for culturally-curious travelers and the gastronomically inclined. Bolstered by pine-blanketed mountains and a sun-struck coastline, it delivers what many hail as the epitome of Mediterranean living. —Ben Holbrook

Barcelona abounds with landmarks that reflect Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí's modernist vision, including his famous unfinished basilica, the Sagrada Familia. Stepping further back in time, Barcelona's historic Gothic Quarter reveals its origins as an ancient Roman outpost and capital of the Crown of Aragon in the Middle Ages before transitioning into a modern metropolis in the 19th century. Outside of history and architecture, the city has become famous for its regional Catalan cuisine and celebrated chocolate. Experience Barcelona's delights with Context's private and semi-private guided tours.

Hi, to everyone coming to barcelona must keep in mind that barcelona is very safe city. means there is no chance of armed robbery or snatching. but to be honest pick pockiting is a common issue for those who come out of the bars really drunk and lost and it is always up to you to take care of your belongings especially in central area and las ramblas. in subways again u have such issues because pickpockets move on groups, they don't attack on you but always look for a chance to steel. A little care and nothing happens. I m living in barcelona since 2004 and I never get robbed.
