Barcelona is one of Spain's most visited cities and home to dozens of cultural sites, museums and sports venues. Barcelona has a rich history and many cathedrals, monuments and gothic churches still stand strong today. Tourists can take a guided tour of the city on board the Bus Turistic that offers open-air tours on double decker buses trekking across key sites. You can also take a walking tour of the popular streets and neighborhoods to enjoy the city firsthand. Here are some key attractions to enjoy in Barcelona, Spain:
The Montjuic Castle
One of the best places to take in a view of the city, the castle sits on the Montjuic Mount and you can get here by riding a cable car up and around the mountain. The Montjuic Castle is home to several museums, the famous German Pavilion, and a gallery that houses the works of the painter, Miro.
L'Aquarium
It's the second largest aquarium in Europe and home to thousands of fishes, sharks and underwater marine animals. The museum also features interactive exhibits, making it a perfect destination for young kids. You can walk through a glass tube to see the schools of fish and sharks swimming about. The aquarium is located in the Port Vell leisure center in downtown Barcelona.
Olympic Port
This popular tourist destination is home to several popular restaurants, bars and nightclubs, along with a lineup of souvenir shops and gift stores. It's one of the busiest tourist hotspots in the city, and you can head here for a fun day of shopping, dining or just playing a few games at the Barcelona Casino.
La Placa Reial
It's been deemed one of the most beautiful plazas in the world, and is home to several locally owned restaurants, historic buildings and attractive gardens. Head here to enjoy the sunshine and enjoy some live entertainment and music on Ciutat Vella and the La Rambla district.
Placa d'Espanya Musical Fountains
If you're visiting Barcelona between May and October, head to the Placa d'Espanya for the 30-minute spectacle of fountains that light up the square. The colorful fountains are synchronized to music and start at 8:30 p.m. each night.
