BARCELONA
That holiday feeling!
The captivating city of Barcelona is a major destination for foodies, and it is difficult to resist the power of its endless charm. Multi-facetted, the Catalan capital stands out for its culture, gastronomy, architecture, climate, and, above all, its love of life
The city of Barcelona, located on the Mediterranean in the east of Spain, is a popular destination. It's hard to get bored in this city that never sleeps. With its prime location, unique atmosphere, and many attractive addresses, it has become a cosmopolitan city, welcoming and lively, where you sometimes get the sense that everyone around you is on permanent vacation
Gaudí City is an apt nickname for the metropolis. The architect Antoni Gaudí's countless works subtly and gracefully coexists with Barcelona's magnificent Gothic architecture. Picturesque and vital, this is an ever-vibrant destination. Each year it attracts more and more curious visitors from around the world, who come seeking a modern Spain constantly reinventing itself. The sun-drenched Catalan capital offers incomparable and innumerable pleasures and escapes. Stroll through the historic city centre around the Rambla, the true beating heart of Barcelona, always in motion, which connects Plaça de Catalunya, the city's nerve centre, to the busy port and its many attractions. In its mythical and colourful streets, you will encounter flower sellers, spectacles, painters, musicians, giant statues, and, everywhere, astounding restaurants and bars. The tapas bar, a Barcelona institution, presents perfect opportunities to share a convivial meal, Spanish style, at any time of the day. Lose yourself in the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, one of the most popular areas of the city, among the amazing medieval buildings. Be sure to bask in Gaudí's Park Güell, with its incomparable architecture, and the majestic Sagrada Familia, a major example of Catalan Modernism. Visit the many museums, such as those dedicated to Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso, to discover more about the historical heritage of the city. Stroll on the huge sunny beach of Barceloneta after a gourmet visit to the Boqueria Market, one of the most emblematic markets in Spain. A sleepless, ever-restless city, Barcelona blazes day and night, and never tires. A popular destination for night-time revellers, it is a party town par excellence.
Barcelona, chic and casual, welcomes you to experience an exceptional stay among its 1,001 wonders. A city that has preserved its heritage while thoroughly modernising itself, it is a one-of-a-kind destination not to be missed.
