Barcelona is
Spain’s second largest city. It features historical structures mixed with magnificent Barcelona hotels. Being one of Spain’s leading tourist destinations, Barcelona treats visitors to countless sites and activities.

Barcelona hotels offer cheaper rates by August as it is a down time in the city, wherein locals vacation to other places. Still, plenty of tourists visit during this month. Tourists enter the city through the Barcelona International Airport.
Barcelona features historic architectural works with themes ranging from the Gothic to the bizarre. The old city centre houses one of the greatest concentrations of Gothic architecture.

Its construction began in 1882 and is set to be completed in 2026. One should not miss the Picasso Museum located on the old city centre on the Carrer Moncada.
Apart from marvelling at UNESCO World Heritage Sites, tourists visit La Rambla which is filled with street performers, restaurants, painters and flower sellers.
Barcelona is also known for its colourful festivals which features the rich culture of Catalonia. Meanwhile, nature lovers could hit the beaches in the outskirts of the city or trek the lush mountains.
