Things to do in Barcelona

Most visitors to Barcelona make a bee-line to the Ramblas, the heart of the city with all its street performers, lively bars, and trendy cafe’s. If you plan your visit here, however long or short, you can get a lot more out of it. It’s common for travellers to visit Barcelona two or three times before they get the opportunity of visiting some important sites like the Sagrada Familia, mainly because they’ve visited for things like stag parties or sports tours.

When the weathers good, as it normally is for most of the year, the beach is place to be, but be careful of the pickpockets and groups of kids stealing bags as they’re incredibly audacious – and usually successful.

Anyway here’s a list of things to do in Barcelona if you want something different. Make sure you also read our Barcelona events guide in case there’s something on while you’re in town.
