Spain - Barcelona

Sagrada Familia

Oh, Barcelona…What a city, what a place! Barcelona is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, in the vibrant Catalonia region. It's one of the most touristic and picturesque cities in the country, alongside Madrid and Seville. With its beautiful beaches, rich culture, and lively atmosphere, Barcelona easily earns a 10/10 as a place to live or visit.

That said, there’s so much to do and see that trying to fit everything into just a couple of days is nearly impossible. An ideal trip to Barcelona should last 7 to 8 days, giving you the chance to explore without rushing, and allowing you to truly soak in the city's charm at your own pace. (Insider tip: If you prefer avoiding crowds, steer clear of the summer months when tourism peaks) For a deeper dive, check out our City of Barcelona blog, where you'll find:
