Barcelona

Duration: 4 days

Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, and not just in the summer. The Catalonian capital appeals to people of all interests – learn what makes the Catalonian identity so special, taste some of the best tapas in all of Spain and be mesmerised by the other-worldly architecture of the Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera. 

For the art enthusiast, the Picasso museum is a must see and if you like to take life at your own pace, you can spend the day ambling along La Rambla, or soak up the sun on the Beach with a cocktail in hand. The evenings in Barcelona are also something to be experienced, with pulsating nightlife and a variety of music styles in the many bars and clubs so you can drink and dance the night away!
