Why you'll love it
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a Mediterranean city of Gaudí architecture, tapas bars and city beaches. It scores 9 out of 10 for food, culture and nightlife, so it's one of Europe's best city breaks for eating, exploring and late nights.
The best time to visit Barcelona is April to June or September, when it's warm enough for the beach but less crowded than mid-summer.
Gaudí's Sagrada Família basilica and Park Güell are the signature sights, and both need tickets booked ahead. Wander the Gothic Quarter and El Born, browse La Boqueria market, and end the day at the Barceloneta beachfront. Dinner starts late, often after 9pm.
Barcelona suits couples, groups of friends and food lovers.
