City Breaks & Travel Deals To Barcelona, Europe
Barcelona, capital of the Catalonia region, is a unique Spanish city with its very own identity and language, forged by a distinct cultural independence from the rest of Spain. The city is one of the world's most visited, and is a very popular city break destination amongst Europeans and cruise ship passengers. The nightlife and culture attract millions every year, many of whom return again and again. Add to this the fabulous architecture of the old town, the nearby beaches and the tons of cultural and historical attractions and it is easy to see why Barcelona is indeed so popular. The city is a popular vacation destination throughout the year - in summer, the weather is warm but usually pleasant, and there is always the sea in which to cool off if travelers get too hot. In winter, wrap up warm and enjoy the fell of Christmas approaching, with quaint city lights and outdoor markets dotting the area. Whatever time of year tourists choose, they are sure to love Barcelona.
There is plenty to see during city breaks in Barcelona. Some of the city's most famous attractions include the "Sagrada Familia" (the still unfinished cathedral of Antonio Gaudi's design) the wonderful (and very touristy) "Las Ramblas" along which locals and tourists love to stroll and the "Park Guell" (another fabulous Gaudi creation). The "Ciutat Vella" and the "Barri Gothic" are the oldest part of the city and boast some excellent architecture, plazas and traditional houses. Others prefer to relax on the beach before heading to the Born area in the old town for a great meal and some drinks. Those who love museums will be spoilt for choice - they can try the "Museum of Natural History" or the "Science Museum" if the sun is getting too strong. Finally, "La Boqueria" is the place to head if tourists want a local market vibe. This wonderful covered market is full of everything a visitor can imagine, and it is a great way to see the locals.
The city of Barcelona has a brilliant range of accommodation possibilities that cater to all budgets and tastes. Those on a limited budget will find hostels catering to students and budget travelers, as well as decent 1- and 2-star hotels in reasonable locations. These include the Hotel Ingles and the Hotel Medium Abalon, as well as the Aneto Hotel. Those on a medium budget will find in Barcelona plenty of mid range international hotel chains, as well as local variants like the NH Duc de La Victoria, the Room Mate Emma and the Husa Oriente. Finally, those on a special trip or who have a bit more cash to splash can check out the wonderful five stars hotels Barcelona has to offer. The Ohla Hotel is sheer extravagance, right in the center with a rooftop pool and a Michelin Star restaurant. The Hotel Palace GL oozes old world charm, while the W Barcelona is the place to be if voyagers want stunning views.
During a city break in Barcelona, tourists should be sure to check out a local festival if possible. There are many throughout the year and each one is unique and an excellent way to get to know the city. "The Sonar" music festival in June is a great one, as is the main "Festes de la Merce", held in the early autumn. "Fira de Santa Llucia" is a Christmas festival, so visitors are advised to head to the Cathedral to soak up the atmosphere. Guests who are only in the city for a short while would do well to take a city tour on one of the hop-on-hop-off buses that operate from the city center. In this way, can be seen all the sights and make note of those they wish to check out in more detail. Finally, as evening approaches, voyagers are invited to head out for a stroll along Las Ramblas before dining on Tapas and partying the night away in one of the many clubs and bar that will be open until the early hours of the morning.
