About Barcelona
Located on the Mediterranean coast, Barcelona combines a rich artistic and cultural heritage with the vibrancy of a modern city, featuring sophisticated retail outlets and top-class restaurants.
The year-round mild climate makes the city the perfect place for a stroll and allows visitors to enjoy its 4 kilometres of beaches, which are well served by public transport.
The Gothic Quarter, in the old town, reveals the wealth of its medieval architecture. Gaudí’s magnificent buildings bear witness to the lavish, late-19th-century art-nouveau movement known as modernisme. Not for nothing is the city home to nine buildings that have been declared World Heritage Sites.
Barcelona is the cultural capital of Catalonia and hosts a packed calendar of festivals, exhibitions and concerts. It is also home to 70 museums, among which we highlight the Museu Nacional d’Art de Cartalunya, which takes visitors on a journey through 1,000 years of art, the Museu Picasso and the Fundació Miró.
The city has become a major gourmet destination, with restaurants boasting a total of 15 Michelin stars, and is a favourite with shoppers, with its 5-kilometre retail thoroughfare known as the Barcelona Shopping Line. Meetings and business tourism is another of the strong points of the city, which has become Europe and the Mediterranean’s leading cruise port over the past five years.
