Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe. There are plenty of things to do in Barcelona all year round but my favorite time to visit is between April and May. This way you can avoid most of the crowds and still enjoy that warm Barcelona weather.

Things to do in Barcelona

Barcelona Beach

The Barcelona Beach is a hot spot for locals and tourists all year round. The water is perfect for swimming and when you’ve worked up an appetite, there are plenty of great restaurants to choose from on the boardwalk.

Barcelona Card

If you are visiting Barcelona for the first time the Barcelona Card is a good deal. The card gives you discounts on popular attractions and free admission to a few of the museums in the city.

Barcelona Cathedral

If you are just arriving to Barcelona I would suggest to make the Barcelona Cathedral your first stop. Climb to the top of the Cathedral and have an incredible view of the area.

Barri Gotic

Also known as the old city of Barcelona, Barri Gotic is a great place to wander around and see some old architecture.

Gaudi Fountain

The Gaudi Fountain can be found in Parc de la Ciutadella. Gaudi designed this magnificent fountain as a tribute to the god of Neptune.

Picasso Museum

Picasso is one of my favorite artists and the Picasso Museum in Barcelona preserves and displays more than 3,000 pieces of his art.

Delicious Food in Barcelona

Tapas

If you have never tried tapas in your life, don’t waste anymore time. Check out some of the best tapas restaurants in Barcelona. It will rock your world.

Payeya

Payeya is typical family dish that is served usually at lunchtime. The most popular is the seafood Payeya. The seafood is caught daily and most of the kitchens in Spain only bring in the amount they plan to sell. So if you have your heart set on a seafood Payeya you must plan to arrive early before they run out.

Patata

Patatas are a typical breakfast meal in Spain and it is made from eggs and potatoes. You will find patatas pretty much anywhere in Spain.
