Leisure Opportunities in Barcelona


City Bus Tour
See the stunning sights of Barcelona from an open top tour bus. Use your ticket to hop-on and off as much as you like as you discover the city's historic monuments and landmarks. Choose between a 1 or 2-day pass. 

Park Guell
Park Guell was commissioned by Eusebi Güell who wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy. At the top of Guell park is a terraced area where you get a wonderful view of the park and of Barcelona City. Here you will find multi-coloured tiled mosaic seats. The vibrant colours of the tiles are truly breathtaking.  Park Guell also has a small house in the park which Gaudi lived in at one stage. The house has now been converted into a museum and contains interesting furniture also designed by Gaudi. 



Sagrada Familia
A Giant Temple designed by the master architect Antonio Gaudi. This building has been under construction since 1882 and they've still got another 30 to 80 years (depending on funding and resources) to go before it will be finished. 


Poble Espanyol de Montjuic – The Spanish Village
This Barcelona attraction is a small Spanish village with different quarters that replicate the style of houses and architecture from different parts of Spain. Poble Espanyol is also home to a whole host of specialist craft shops and workshops where you can see some traditionally made Spanish goods and is also the venue for the famous Flamenco show at Tablao de Carmen. 

La Pedrera - Casa Mila
Another one of Antonio Gaudi's creations in Barcelona. This building used to be called Casa Mila but nowadays it's more commonly known as La Pedrera which means "quarry". Gaudi was instrumental in completing this building and his characteristic wavy brick work and colourful tiles are also evident on this masterpiece. 

Barcelona FC Stadium Tour and Museum
Explore Barcelona Football Stadium and follow the footsteps of world-class stars. Venture into the dressing rooms and down the famous tunnel; enjoy access to off-limits areas and sit on benches warmed by some of the world's best players. Then pass through the press conference rooms and the Presidential Honour Box. Admission to the club's museum is included in this visit. Wander at your leisure and marvel at paintings, sculptures, and exhibitions of sporting trophies from basketball to handball to hockey. 

Picasso Museum
The museum has arranged Picasso's paintings in chronological order from his early days to his final works. Arranging the paintings in this way gives you a fascinating insight into the development of Picasso thinking over time and shows how he developed the distinctive designs that he is famous for today. 


The Magic Fountain of Montjuic
One attraction which is very popular and a "must" visit is the Magic Fountain of Montjuic. This is a light, music and water extravaganza that just can't be missed! 



Las Ramblas
It is the central most Boulevard which cuts through the heart of the city centre and is a vibrant and lively promenade filled with Barcelona action at its best. 



El Port Vell
Barcelona’s Port Vell (Old Port) has undergone a great transformation in recent years, what was once a port area is now one of the most important shopping areas in the city. The Rambla de Mar is a promenade as well as a lookout offering an excellent view of the port and forms an extension of Las Ramblas.
