Take A Tour Of Barcelona In 15 Days
We are going to enjoy a very special excursion through Barcelona. We will tour the city and its surroundings for 15 days in which boredom will be miles away. Are you ready to have a great time? Take note of everything you can do in Barcelona!
15 days of excursion through Barcelona
In fifteen days you will have the opportunity to quietly enjoy the city of Barcelona, considered one of the most beautiful in Spain and Europe. But you can also enjoy the beauty of some of the towns in the province and corners full of magic.
We must not forget that Barcelona is still a province located on the shores of the Mediterranean and, therefore, a very suggestive destination if we are looking for a beach and sun holiday. But along with all this we have history, culture and interesting routes. Which are? Here we go!
A few days in the city of Barcelona
We will begin our excursion through Barcelona in its capital. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, and also one of the most touristy. Here you have to spend at least 3-4 days. At least one day we will spend it on the beach and the seaport.
But in our excursion through Barcelona there is much more. A tour of the jewels of modernism is essential. It was an architectural movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries of which there are magnificent examples in the city.
The greatest exponent of that movement was the architect Antoni Gaudí. From his ingenuity, spaces as beautiful as Park Güell and buildings as impressive as the famous Sagrada Familia were born. Places that, of course, we will visit, along with others such as La Pedrera or Casa Batlló.
The sightseeing tour of Barcelona in search of its modernist art will easily take us another day. After this, you have to take a walk along the Ramblas, visit the Gothic quarter and visit the cathedral or the Plaza de Sant Jaume.
We will also visit the most cosmopolitan area of Barcelona and visit its famous Agbar tower. And of course, you have to set aside time to visit some of the city’s museums, including the Picasso Museum, the National Museum of Catalonia and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Fifth day: Barcelona from above
About to leave the city of Barcelona, we cannot miss the opportunity to see it from above. For example, we can enjoy ideal views on Montjuïc.
You can go up on foot or by cable car. At the top, the castle and a wonderful panoramic view of Barcelona await us, with the Mediterranean Sea bathing it. We can also tour the Olympic Ring or visit the Spanish Village, with reproductions of unique buildings in Spain.
Along with this, there is another option to enjoy Barcelona from a bird’s eye view: ascending Tibidabo, the second most emblematic mountain in the city. You can go up in the funicular and visit the Expiatory Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or have fun in the amusement park.
Last days of tour
In the remaining days of the excursion through Barcelona, the possibilities multiply. Everything will largely depend on what we are looking for: cultural tourism, beach, fun … There are many attractions and it is impossible to see them all in a few days.
For those looking for sun and beach, a good place is Sitges. It is a town located 40 kilometers from Barcelona. Famous for hosting a famous film festival, it is also known for its beaches and its gay scene.
We also advise you to visit Santa Coloma de Cervelló. There it is possible to visit Colonia Güell, another of the great examples of Gaudí’s architecture. And it is one step away from the city of Barcelona.
And finally, you should not miss towns like Las Fuentes del Llobregat. This is a perfect place to enjoy nature in its waterfalls. The Sau-Collsacabra valley and the beaches of El Maresme are also worth visiting. These options are more of a nature, but you will also love them.
Everything that surrounds Barcelona is ideal! Be it beaches, landscapes, monuments or wonderful urban environments. We are sure that your vacation here will be unforgettable. What do you think? You are ready?
