City breaks in Barcelona

Barcelona cathedral spires.
 

Take a cultural city break in Barcelona to explore medieval Barri Gòtic, indulge a love for moderniste (Catalan Art Deco) architecture in L'Eixample or discover the young Picasso's art. Fuel your appetite on Barcelona city breaks at tiled wine bars, tiny tapas bars and fine seafood restaurants from Plaça de Catalunya to Barcelona's port. And if your perfect Barcelona city break means shopping, make a beeline for boutique-lined Passeig de Gràcia.

Dining and unwinding on Barcelona city breaks

Tantalise your taste buds on a Barcelona city break with seafood platters on the waterfront at Port Olímpic. Choose from the line-up of tasty plates in La Ribera's tapas bars or celebrate your Barcelona city break with stylish dining in chic L'Eixample. For a change from Catalan cuisine, dine on good-value curries or noodles in Gràcia.

Special places to stay in Barcelona

Stay in the heart of the action on your Barcelona city break in the Ciutat Villa (Old City) – try small family-owned hotels in Barri Gòtic or gentrified El Born east of La Rambla. The choice is more sophisticated in L'Eixample and Gràcia. Here, boutique hotels boast stunning moderniste architecture and neighbourhood cafés serve hot chocolate with churros pastries for breakfast on your short city break to Barcelona.

Things to do on Barcelona city breaks

Start your Barcelona city break with the Cathedral's Gothic grandeur and the inspiring art of the Picasso Museum. Tick off Antonio Gaudí masterpieces such as La Sagrada Família and La Pedrera. Then savour Barcelona's quirky Museum of Chocolate. If you're into shopping, swan along elegant Passeig de Gràcia for designer labels. Night owls can dive into bars in the Ciutat Vella or relax with a drink in Gràcia's open squares. Join the party by the port at Maremàgnum on your Barcelona city break.
