Things To Do In Barcelona

Barcelona is a city that truly has it all: a rich history, iconic architecture, sun-soaked beaches, and a buzzing atmosphere that’s impossible to resist. If you’re planning a visit and looking for things to do in Barcelona, you’re in for a real treat. Here’s a bite-sized guide to help you experience the best of this vibrant city.

See the Sights on an Open-Top Bus Tour

Kick off your adventure with the famous open-top city tour—a fantastic way to get your bearings. Sit back and soak up the sunshine as you cruise past landmarks like Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, the bustling La Rambla, and the Gothic Quarter. With a hop-on-hop-off ticket, you can explore hidden corners at your own pace, making this ideal for couples, families, and anyone keen to get a feel for Barcelona’s lively streets.

Marvel at Gaudí’s Genius

No visit is complete without exploring the iconic works of Antoni Gaudí. The breathtaking Sagrada Família and the colourful mosaics of Park Güell are must-sees, offering a glimpse into the imagination of one of the world’s most renowned architects. While you’re here, check out our Barcelona Accommodation guide to find the perfect base for your sightseeing.

Wander Down La Rambla

La Rambla is one of the city’s most famous streets—a vibrant stretch lined with cafés, flower stalls, performers, and markets. It’s the ideal place to people-watch, grab a coffee, and soak up Barcelona’s unique energy. Staying close? Browse our Hotels in Barcelona City Centre for great options nearby.

Taste the Flavours of Catalonia

Barcelona is a food lover’s dream. Think sizzling tapas, fresh seafood paella, and sweet treats like churros con chocolate. Dive into the local food scene with our insider tips on Food and Drink in Barcelona—from rustic tapas bars to fine dining, there’s something for every palate.

Soak Up the Sun on the Beach

Barcelona’s coastline is just as famous as its city sights. Spend an afternoon unwinding on golden sands, taking a dip in the Med, or enjoying a sunset stroll along the shore. If a beach break is top of your list, you’ll love our selection of Barcelona Hotels on the Beach.

Explore the Gothic Quarter

Step back in time as you wander the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter. This historic area is packed with medieval architecture, charming squares, and tucked-away tapas spots. It’s a favourite with history buffs and photographers alike. If you’re planning a longer stay, have a look at our Apartments to Rent in Barcelona for a home-away-from-home feel.

Head Up to Montjuïc

For panoramic views of the city and sea, make your way up Montjuïc Hill. Highlights include Montjuïc Castle, the Magic Fountain’s evening light show, and a range of museums and gardens. Whether you’re after culture or simply want to admire the view, Montjuïc offers something special.

Go Shopping in Style

From high-end designers to quirky local boutiques and vibrant markets, Barcelona is a shopping hotspot. Pick up unique souvenirs, update your wardrobe, or simply enjoy browsing the stylish stores dotted around the city.
