Barcelona City Breaks

Barcelona city breaks - A perfect city break destination
City breaks in Barcelona constantly feature among the top city breaks in Europe. It is not hard to see why Barcelona city breaks enjoy such a high reputation. Barcelona has a fabulously atmospheric medieval centre, terrific sights like Gaudi’s truly astonishing Sagrada Familia cathedral, outstanding museums and galleries, excellent modern attractions, classy accommodation, superb bars and restaurants, and a distinctly Catalan sense of style. Barcelona city breaks also owe there popularity to the Mediterranean climate and the presence of the sea. A short weekend break in Barcelona is nowhere near long enough to take in all the city has to offer. Barcelona city breaks offer a fascinatingly different perspective on Spain from other Spanish city break destinations like Madrid, Seville, Malaga and Palma.

Barcelona city breaks - A sense of style
A city break in Barcelona offers a feast for lovers of architecture both old and new. Few city break destinations worldwide have combined historic treasures and modernity so effectively. City breaks in Barcelona offer exceptional variety, with exciting attractions for families, romantic dining, fashionable boutiques, traditional bars, a busy cultural programme and some of the classiest and most cosmopolitan nightlife in Spain. A morning exploring the historic gems of the Barri Gotic can be followed by a trip to Gaudi’s extraordinary ceramic creations in Parc Guel or the modernist architectural gems in Eixample or a look at the superbly re-developed harbour area. Spend the evening exploring trendy bars and swish nightclubs in characterful neighbourhoods like Gràcia, the Born, La Ribera and El Raval. All Barcelona city breaks will gravitate around the famous Ramblas with their beautiful covered markets and street entertainers.

Barcelona city breaks - Tremendous variety of sights
Excellent public transport enables even short weekend breaks in Barcelona to include the major sights. Long weekend breaks in Barcelona will have more time to explore old and new Barcelona, visit superb attractions like the aquarium, take a tour of Barcelona’s incredible Camp Nou football stadium or visit the intriguing beach resort of Sitges. Summer Barcelona city breaks will no doubt include a trip to Barcelona beaches. The mild climate and plenty of sunshine ensure rewarding Barcelona city breaks at any time of year.
