Top Tourist Attractions in Barcelona, Spain
Planning a trip to Barcelona? Don't forget these popular
attractions. Barcelona, located in Spain is one of the most
beautiful places to visit. Make sure you see all it has to offer
when you are there. From museums to popular beaches, and don't
forget the excellent restaurants, Barcelona promises to deliver
excitement, enjoyment, and above all, a time you will never
forget! Barcelona is the capital city of Catalonia and the
second most heavily populated city in Spain. It is located in
northeastern Spain, approximately 160 KM from the French border.
The population is roughly 1,509,500. Barcelona has 53 museums
and galleries, 41 theatres, 143 cinemas, 6 beaches, 62 parks and
gardens, and well over 2,300 restaurants. Let's get moving as
there is so much to see! Museums You Don't Want To Pass By If
you are a fan of Picasso's, be sure to check out the Picasso
Museum which has most of his wonderful works of art from his
early days until his final days. Maybe you enjoy sculptures.
Then you need to check out the Museum Frederic Marés, which has
sculptures from the 12th to 17th century. The Museum of the
History of Barcelona has all you need to know about Barcelona's
history and its popular traditions that are exhibited on three
floors. If you're a history fanatic, like me, this is not one
you want to pass by.
Sagrada Familia, one of Antoni Gaudi's greatest creations, is
the most visited attraction, with 2,000,000 visitors each year.
The giant temple has been under construction since 1882. The
museum you find inside gives the details of the development and
offers information about the Sagrada Familia. Most of the
tourists who've seen the Sagrada Familia have loved the
architecture and design of this giant temple.
Attractions for Kids Do you have little ones with you who are
dire need for something "cool" or "fun?" L' Aquarium de
Barcelona, or The Barcelona Aquarium, will most certainly fit
into those categories. It is the most
popular attraction for
kids and young ones. The enormous tank is filled with sea
creatures that you can find almost anywhere in the world. You
can even swim with the sharks! The giant aquarium is located at
Port Vell, or Barcelona Port Area.
Right next door to the Aquarium is the IMAX Port Vell Cinema, a
large-format theater, which attracts about 1 million visitors
each year and is open year-round. This IMAX Cinema was the first
integral movie theatre ever built, which means that you can
enjoy not one, not two, but three different projections: IMAX,
3D, or Omnimax. The kids can choose to watch 3D films including
ones about sharks or space.
Another popular attraction for the little ones, that you may
also enjoy, is the Barcelona Zoo. The zoo has a wide variety of
animals including the giant anteater, Siamang, and the Indian
Elephant. The zoo also has restaurants, shops, ponies, electric
cars, and a picnic area. This promises to be a lot of fun for
the entire family. Beaches in Barcelona Barcelona has 6 beaches,
just for you. All of their beaches offer drinks and ice cream,
children's games, lifeguards, hammocks, telephones, and sport
areas. Barceloneta Beach, one of Barcelona's most popular
beaches, also has a restaurant and canoes available. Mar Bella
Beach, another beach in Barcelona, has an aquatic motorbike that
you may use if you choose. The Magic Fountain of Montjuic should
not be missed. The fountain is a light, color, water, and music
display that is free to the audience. It is highly recommended
to see and is enjoyable for tourists of all ages. As you can
see, Barcelona is a city that has much to offer, but whether you
are here for business or pleasure, be sure to try and check some
of these wondrous places that can only be found in, well,
Barcelona!
