In this post, I’m going to share with you my top things to do in Barcelona.
Barcelona is a city of contrasts. It’s edgy and raw, yet artistic and sophisticated. It’s a place that’s home to a complete melting pot of cultures, yet remains uniquely its own.
It’s also a city blessed with world-class restaurants, incredible architecture, a thumping nightlife scene, and a gorgeous coastline.
With a great public transport system to shuttle you between the many neighbourhoods, and wide, pedestrian-friendly streets, getting around Barcelona is a breeze.
The city really does have a vibe of its own and there are endless things to do in Barcelona to keep you busy.
Having spent 10 days in Barcelona with Nick, we were able to sufficiently scratch the surface and discover a lot of all this destination has to offer. Without a doubt, this is now one of my favourite cities in the world.
With that, let’s get started with this list of the 15 best things to do in Barcelona.
1. Join a Walking Tour
This is one of the best activities in Barcelona for when you first arrive.
Walking tours are available in pretty much every major city in Europe, and by joining one, you’ll be able to orientate yourself immediately, while checking off some city highlights along the way.
You can join a free tour with companies like Sandemans, whose guides will take you through a few of the neighbourhoods in Barcelona, and show you many of the city’s must-see sights.
These walking tours are “free”, but they operate on tips (€5-10 is sufficient). Since they’re such a low price, you may find that many people wish to join your preferred trip too.
A better option is to join this highly rated walking tour experience, which has a limit of just 7 guests. Together with your knowledgeable and comical guide, you’ll visit the Old Town ‘Ciutat Vella’, the Gothic Quarter ‘Barri Gòtic’, and ‘El Born’.
While you’ll certainly see the main sights, the best part of the walking tour is that you’ll also gain local insight into the city; including the dos and don’ts, the best places to eat, and more.
2. Check Out Antoni Gaudí’s Work
You really can’t visit Barcelona without checking out the gorgeous work of Antoni Gaudí. You literally couldn’t miss his masterpieces if you tried.
Sitting in stark contrast next to the more typical modern architecture and the beautiful, but less exotic-looking Catalan Gothic buildings, is the works of 20th-century genius architect, Antoni Gaudí.
