Barcelona is a world-class city that offers amazing food, wine, and culture. Even its architecture is amazing, particularly the Gothic Quarter cathedrals, and Gaudi’s creations, including the unique Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, which looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale.

You can see staggering views of Barcelona from atop Montjuic Castle, and if you just want to chill Bogatell Beach is filled with the soothing sounds of lapping waves. Want to shop? The artistic Barri de Gracia neighborhood offers a plethora of local designer boutiques, colorful sights, and savory Mediterranean cuisine.

Wine and cava in Barcelona is not to be missed. There are trails, tours, and even museums dedicated to these celebratory beverages. The Centre de Visites Torres is less than an hour outside the city, and offers a variety of award-winning experiences.
