The Modern European City Barcelona
Up to now, I already visited the town of Barcelona on 2 occasion (both were 7 days stays), and that i still think that you will find many points of interest that are not yet been investigated. I’ll certainly revisit soon, since i have simply fell deeply in love with the area. If you’re planning to go to Barcelona (or considering it) here are a few awesome tips from the travel junkie.
Going to that old part (Barri Medieval Area) from the city is essential-see, yet for me, the very best areas of Barcelona are its contributions to twentieth century architecture.
You have to certainly visit all monuments left by famous 20th-century architect Antonio Gaudi Parc Guell, Casa Miro, Casa Batlo, and first and foremost, the famous, incomplete Sagrada Famiglia Cathedral.
Other definite monuments to appear would be the Palau p la Musica, The Maritime Museum, Picasso Museum, The Olympic Complex, but for the best night life of, the Olympic Village.
Excursion Suggestions:
I’d typically suggest a vacation to Salou, where you find the magical amusement park of Port Aventura. We spent 2 nights within the resort which adjoins the park, and reserved this directly online . After I attempted booking via my agent it would require me to pay 15% more. Hence, simply book this yourself since its super easy to do this.
Coming towards the destination, is extremely easy because the resort and also the amusement park includes a station situated only 100m from it. Although, Port Aventura might not be as huge as DisneyLand Paris in dimensions, Personally, i believe that it features a certain atmosphere of chance that the Parisian park lacks.
Other excursions worth thinking about are a vacation to the wonderful Montserrat Mountain tops, in addition to a trip to beautiful seaside resort of Stiges. You might acquire very beneficial excursion packages including transportation, museum entrances, and lunch in the Tourist Information Office.
Besides purchasing a great manual (DK includes a very colorful and informative guide), I recommend that you’d visit the Barcelona Tourist Information office website, and phone them requesting some literature. For any really small charge (most likely under 3 Pounds), they’ll give back very helpful maps and guides that will certainly assist you in planning your vacation.
