Barcelona has emerged as one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations, and it's not hard to see why. With a stunning diversity of architecture, from the medieval of the Barrio Gótico to the Modernism of Antonio Gaudí, works from artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Claes Oldenburg on street corners, world class museums and galleries, and music festivals such as The Festival del Grec every June, the city has a wealth of culture to offer its visitors. It is divided into different barrios, all of which are completely individual and are perfectly spaced to explore on foot. Barcelona is enjoying a culinary renaissance, too, and boasts some of the most inventive cuisine in the world. Go here to drink wine in lively bars, savour the taste of Spain in traditional tapas restaurants, and soak up the atmosphere of this vibrant and cosmopolitan Catalan city.

Barcelona’s endless miles of Mediterranean Coast offer waterfront resorts, rental villas for families of all sizes, and an array of charming hotels.

Most tourists stay in four areas of Barcelona which are near downtown central square Plaza Catalunya, in the Cuitat Vella historical area of Barcelona, in the Eixample 19th century modernist expansion area of the city after Barcelona's medieval walls were demolished - or in the Sant Marti area, which is the newest modern high tech district near Barcelona beaches. Plaza Catalunya is the most central area of Barcelona. Ciutat Vella and Eixample have most sights and attractions and Sant Marti area is popular in the summer because it is close to the best beaches.
