I am off to Barcelona in 2 weeks time. Can you advise which tourist attractions are worth seeing?

Answer 1

go to sitges for the day, it is about a 30 minute drive and it is beautiful. It is a beach tow and the beaches are divided up for families, single/lesbian women, and singlegay men. You can rent small boats, and paddle boats with slides on them. I was there for 3 days and wished i could have stayed much longer

Answer 2

There are many great place to visit in Barcelona, so as mentioned before the best thing is to get on the tourist bus (there are 2 routes, one north and the other south) you can buy tickets in the tourist office in Plaza de Catalunya or on the bus. There is a choice of 1 or 2 day tickets and to be honest I'd buy the 2 day ticket as there is so much to see. You can hop on and off all day and change buses. On top of the things to see would be the architecture which is very impressive, even if you're not cultural (Parc Güell, Liceu, Las Ramblas. La Pedrera and Sagragarda Familia amongst many!)
Then you should miss a trip to Camp Nou to the stadium and Montjuic is a great place to visit as well and the views are incredible! And if you've got time take a trip up to Tibidarbo which is incredible.

If you like shopping there is a large department store 'el corte ingles' in Plaza Catalunya. Also walk around the barrio gothico which has some great hidden shops, if you like designer clothes go to Paseo de Gracia. There are also lots of museums including the Picasso museum.

And don't forget to go to the beach! At night go to the Port Olympic which is full of bars and restaurants.

What ever you do have a great time!

Answer 3

Weel I went to the Parque Güell yesterday and think it's worth visiting. If you want to go to the Sagrada Familia, do it by night. In the Passeig de Gracia you'll find 2 houses from Gaudi : Casa Mila and Casa Batllo. I've been told that the casa Mila is great and much more cheaper (4 or 5 € instead of 16€).
Wee, I live in Barcelona, so if you need more information, places to go out or whatever, contact me.
Enjoy your stay!

Answer 4

For sure the Barri Gotic around the cathedral, Parque Guell, La Sagrada Familia, Mont Juic. Best take a three day pass for the Turist Bus Lines (3 lines). Those busses take you to all points of interest. Don´t miss the Fundació Joan Miró with it´s terrace cafe on the slopes of Mont Juic. Have a stoll en Las Ramblas.
First thing arriving go to the turist info!!!!
If you got enough of the town, you can tak the train from Plaza Espnya to the coisters of Montserrat as a day trip or from Sants Station a trin to Tarragona with a lot of roman ruins.
Enjoy your trip!

Answer 5

Picasso Museum, Joan Miro Fundacion, Mont Juiic, Barri Gotic, Las Ramblas, Placa del Rei and City Musuem...Sagrada Familia,

Answer 6

Don't miss the Monastery at Montserratt, it's awesome. It's about 45k north of Barcelona inland and about another 40k north further on there is an 8th century castle which is now a Parador. It's well worth staying the night or just going up there to sit on their terrace and have a coffee. At least you will have visited a place with real history.

Answer 7

I was there at Christmas the best places to go are

Barcelona City Tour

Barcelona Walking Tours
Barcelona centre is a very pleasant location to walk around. Much of the area has been pedestrianized, with wide open boulevards that make walking tours a very pleasurable way to visit the city.

Many sights can be seen simply by walking around as the city centre is much smaller than you may think. In the Barri Gotic area (historic quarters) for example, you have nearly a whole day's worth of sights to experience alone without the need for taking any form of public transport. In this area you will see the neighbourhoods in which the great painters Picasso and Miro grew up in. You will also see wonderful examples of Catalan architecture the most notable e.g. being Barcelona Cathedral.

Other popular walking tours include the Modernist walking tour and Picasso walking tour.

Walking tours give you a close up feel for the city and are worth considering if you fit and healthy and don't mind walking.

Answer 8

I noticed that they Gaudi 's building and Picasso are already covered by others. there is something left though... FOOD... go to 4 GATS near Las Ramlas st. where Picasso used to hang out. they have a appetizer, the entry and the desert for a very reasonable price and a drink (wine or soft drinks). and the food tastes great .. you Will love it there... if you like shopping , there is a street in parallel with Las Ramblas , called something Angelese... it's on the right handof Las Ramblas.. full of great stores...don't forget to try Tapas....
they are the best in sea food. and also have CAVA with your feed.
I wanna go back already! I was there 2 months...
Have FUN!

Answer 9

Get the tourist bus. Their is a red and a green route you can hop on and off and switch routes. I can not remember if one day ticket does both but it is a good buy. As you come out of the Station go into Los Angles ( I think that is the mane of the department store) Top floor buy yourself a snack a meal or a coffee the view is: WoooW!

Answer 10

Easiest thing to do is to do what I did. Get the Bus Turistic Open-Top bus from Placa de Catalunya at the top of Las Ramblas. It'll take you to every major tourist attraction in the city and really helps you to get your bearings. Tickets are valid for either 24 or 48 hours and its Hop-On Hop-Off as many times as you like.

Answer 11

-Wieliczka Salt Mine , such as you reported. -Auschwitz concentration Camp is a very interesting place. You get to work out the area the place the Jews have been tortured in international conflict II.the 1st and between the main important concentration camps. Wawe? fort in Krakow , yet first you are able to desire to examine the story related to the dragon who lived there! Zakopane (mountains) , or Pieniny (i've got been there on a college holiday) is wonderful! clean air, and the paths are fairly superb. The lakes in Mazuria! I stay in I?awa, and we've the longest lake in Poland hahahha. that is noted as Jeziorak. in the summertime time, human beings employ homes for vacationers right here, and that i'd desire to assert so myself, that is fairly appealing right here. Hel Peninsula is amazingly humorous. it somewhat is a veery long and skinny peninsula (35km) in northern Poland keeping apart the Bay of %. from the open Baltic Sea. Poland is particularly fairly remarkable, and each thing's great low-fee (hahaha) i'm hoping you have relaxing in Poland!
