When visiting Barcelona for the first time, one thing you should be prepared for is that you will have to go back again. You will never be able to cram all the sights and activities into one trip, and you will be left wanting to know more about this very special area. So enjoy what you can do this time and keep in mind those activities that you will want to try next time and try to relax.
One of the must visit buildings for art lovers is the museum dedicated entirely to Picasso. Aside from being housed in a medieval mansion, it also contains over three thousand pieces, the most important collection of his work in Spain today. The museum allows you to travel through the various phases of Picasso's work, from Malaga, his home town, to Paris, then Russia, and finally to Barcelona. Then there's the fact that the main focus of the exhibition is on his Barcelona phase.
The old town of Barcelona, or Ciutat Vella, is right on the harbor of Barcelona. What it is made up of are the gothic sector, or Barri Gotic, which houses a fascinating cathedral, the Ribera area and the harbor area or Port Vell. If you want to find the old town, all you have to do is take a stroll down the main avenue on Barcelona, the flower stall lined La Rambla. As you walk towards the sea you will see a towering monument, topped by the figure of Christopher Columbus, which sits at one corner of the old town. On the east or the opposite side, what you will see is the old town is bordered by the Parc de la Ciutadella which houses a monumental waterfall or cascada.
The Nou Camp stadium is a sight that is not to be missed for many football fans. If you have chance to go to a game this will beat a simple sightseeing tour as you will be able to experience the unique atmosphere of one of the most famous stadiums in the world, home to Barcelona's football team, usually known as Barca. You need to be sure to book your tickets well in advance since football season is September to May.
You can hit one of the fabulous beaches along the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada if you have had enough of culture, history, and shopping in the city center. The coast line has clean Mediterranean waters perfect for a refreshing dip and it is also well maintained. Accommodation along this coast includes a wide variety of resort style hotels, beach front chalets, and self catering apartments to rent.
You can find something for everyone in Barcelona. You may be looking for a relaxing beach holiday, a sightseeing weekend, a romantic honeymoon or somewhere to relax for the whole summer, but regardless of that you will still find it all on this beautiful part of Spain.
