Things To Do
See the sights
If you’re a fan of architecture and beauty, you can visit some beautiful modernist masterpieces like the Casa Battló, La Pedrera, the Hospital Sant Pau and of course La Sagrada Familia! Tip: Get tickets in advance, as these tend to be very busy and sell out on the day.
Go for a swim
More of a beachy vibe? Early September is still pretty warm in Barcelona, and you can enjoy a nice dip in the sea to refresh. We recommend Bogatell or Nova Icaria beaches, favorite among the locals.
Eat all the food
What about food? One of our favorite thing’s to do is to try out the many, many culinary options Barcelona has to offer. We’ve added a mix of our favorites (including a couple of rooftop bars) into this Google Maps list.
Carpe Diem
And if you don’t have any preferences or plans, just go out for a walk! Barcelona is beautiful and we love to stroll her streets and just soak in the vibes. Be careful of your belongings, for all it’s beauty, Barcelona is also Europe’s pickpocket capital.
Escape from the city
The Costa Brava offers some incredible beaches and coves, think crystalline turquoise waters nestled among jagged rocky cliffs. There are beautiful medieval towns sprinkled all around the area, where you’ll truly experience the heart of Catalunya. Here are some of our favorite spots: * Girona: this picturesque town was featured in Game of Thrones! Wander the medieval streets and walk the city wall to enjoy the view over the countryside. * Tossa de Mar: a beautiful, small beach town characterized by a stunning fort overlooking the sea. * Begur: another cute village, don’t miss Cala Sa Tuna and Platja Fonda! * Peratallada: an amazing medieval town, you’ll fall in love with it’s cobbled streets and traditional stone houses. * Cadaqués: this beautiful village was home to and inspiration for Salvador Dalí, truly a place to relax and take in the mediterranean lifestyle
