Barcelona Mini Guide:

Barcelona has grown from humble beginnings as a rather dilapidated industrial city to an avant-garde, cosmopolitan metropolis that attracts millions of tourists every year. The capital of the Catalonia region of Spain, Barcelona is widely thought of as Europe’s ‘coolest’ city. With its impressive cityscape of both historical buildings and cutting edge architecture, a balmy climate, its famous nightlife and world-class restaurants, it is little wonder that Barcelona has evolved as a top city break destination. With the increasing prevalence of low cost airlines running cheap flights to the city, it is also a destination that can be enjoyed on a tight budget – in fact; much of Barcelona’s charm can be enjoyed for free.

Things to see/do in Barcelona:

There is such a fantastic range of sights, activities, shops and markets in Barcelona that it is wise to spend time planning your trip and budgeting your time sensibly. Perhaps Barcelona’s best-known attractions are the original and wonderful creations of Antoni Gaudi, the city’s most famous son. The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia is undoubtedly his most renowned masterpiece. This astonishing unfinished structure towers over the city, and as Barcelona’s major landmark, should not be missed. Guided tours are available, however many people are happy simply to appreciate the building’s beauty from the outside. More of his work can be seen in the Parc Güell.

A stroll down La Rambla, Barcelona’s most famous boulevard, is the perfect way to soak up the atmosphere of the city. The Spanish Village, the Barcelona Aquarium, Gaudi’s ‘La Pedrera’, the Picasso Museum, the Miró Museum and the National Museum of Art are all top attractions in the city. All have an admission cost, however tourists can also invest in a ‘Barcelona Card’ which offers special cheap rates and further discounts into all these attractions, and many more. Barcelona F.C’ Museum and Stadium is a hugely popular attraction. It costs 11 Euros for a guided tour, a bargain for football-mad tourists! You can pay less for basic admission to the museum, however the guided tour is recommended.

Shopping in Barcelona is diverse and exciting, with everything on offer from exclusive fashion houses to more affordable high street brands, right through to original and quirky independent designers. Markets in the city offer some cheap shopping opportunities for anyone on too tight a budget to spend in the large chain stores.

Eating out in Barcelona:

Barcelona has a large selection of restaurants and cafés, however as with any major tourist centre, it can often be quite hit and miss, with many eateries in the ‘tourist-trap’ parts of the city offering mediocre food at astronomical prices. Dinner starts late in Barcelona, so don’t be turned off by a place if it is empty at 7 or 8 o’clock – most restaurants don’t fill up until closer to 10pm.

People looking for cheap food are advised to go for tapas or look for the smaller, low cost restaurants offering tasty, home-cooked food. For an exquisite dining experience, the Via Veneto is an award winning restaurant serving authentic Catalan dishes – although the menu is not cheap, some things are worth splashing out on.

Day trips from Barcelona:

While it is unlikely you will run out of things to do on one holiday in Barcelona, you may want to flee the city for a day or two and experience life in some of the small towns and villages surrounding the city. With Barcelona Car Hire, you can take a short drive to a number of great destinations near the city. Some of the best options for day-trippers are

· Tibidabo
Tibidabo is the largest of the hills surrounding Barcelona – an easy drive with Barcelona Car Hire – and is home to a wonderful amusement park as well as one of Barcelona’s most famous (if slightly tourist-saturated) nightclubs. If neither of these options is to your taste, you may like to go there simply for the marvelous views over the city.

· Sitges
A short drive in your rental car from Argus Car Hire Barcelona will bring you to Sitges, a famous seaside resort that is a massively popular destination for Spaniards and tourists alike. A number of stunning beaches grace the coastline here, and although the town is often quite crowded, it is so for a good reason. A great way to spend a day or weekend out of Barcelona.

· Girona
Many people visiting Barcelona do so by availing of cheap flights to Girona, run by low cost budget airlines. If you are flying directly to Barcelona, it is worth taking a spin to Girona to wander around this pretty medieval city. Steeped in history and with a number of attractions, a great day can be spent exploring this often-overlooked destination.

· Figueres
Anyone with an interest in art, and in Dali and the surrealist movement in particular, should visit the small town of Figueres. With Barcelona Car Hire, the town is a two-hour drive from the city, and is home to the Dali Museum – a building that was designed by the famous artist and is a work of art in itself, not taking into account the fabulous collection of his work that is contained inside. Admission is cheap with group and family discounts available.
