The Dali Theater Museum - The Dali museum, even if you are familiar with the artist Salvador Dali or not, is something of a dream to witness. It is the most important museum that pays homage to this Catalan surrealist artist and one of the most popular day trips in Barcelona. The paintings, designs, and contraptions in the museums make it hard to miss for any art lover.
Casa Batllo - This is simply a must see for anybody visiting Barcelona. Over any Gaudi masterpiece, this one has to top it all in terms of creativity, bizarreness and design. Recognized as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the vividly colorful villa is best experienced through a tour that explains all of Gaudi’s inspiration, work and detail.
El Gotic - Also known as the Gothic Quarter, El Gotic is a charming area mixed with history, modernism and cultural electricity racing around its winding, narrow streets lined with Catalan restaurants, stores and squares. As a former Roman village, this space is bedecked with gorgeous and historic architecture, El Catedral, Las Ramblas and other modern restaurants that makes El Gotic a vibrant hub and one of the city’s main attractions.
La Boqueria - La Boqueria is the biggest and most famous street market in Barcelona. It is a magical place stuffed with local delectables that are always fresh, from seafood to produce, you name it.
Explore the Tapas - Barcelona is scattered with lively bars and restaurants and packed filled with special Catalan tapas that any tourist shouldn’t miss. To get a taste of local life, try bar hopping around downtown, el Poble Sec or La Barceloneta district and explore local specialties like the delicious patatas bravas over refreshing beer and Spanish wine.
El Tibidado - The most popular and beautiful viewpoint in Barcelona, on top of the Tibidado mountain, rolls out the city’s skyline and coastline in a breathtaking view. There is also an amusement park and a stunning Cathedral that can keep you busy for quite some time.
Hit up some of Barcelona’s street festivals - Do you really want to get an authentic feel of Barcelona? There is no better place to taste that than in some of Barcelona’s summer street festivals. Here the city shuts down their streets, lights it up with music, wine and Catalan special traditions such as the sardana dances, el gegants (giant heads and puppets), human towers and more.
Visit some of Barcelona’s best beaches - After visiting La Barceloneta, perhaps the city’s most famous and touristy beach crowded with restaurants and extreme water sports, explore some of the city’s other beach gems that are more scenic, relaxed and peaceful. Many local favorites are Sant Sebastia, Mar Bella and Bogatell.
Camp Nou - It is the biggest football stadium in Europe and home to the renowned FC Barcelona team. Even if you are not a fan of the sport, taking a tour experience in this gigantic 90 thousand seater stadium and seeing their trophies, shirts, and even walking onto the field is something of a spectacular cultural experience.

Barcelona is a multifaceted city with many gems to discover, such as art, architecture, shopping, the list goes on. Arguably the biggest for many is the food. The food scene is Barcelona is packed full of flavor, culture and history, specifically the Catalan cuisine that is scattered throughout the city. Here are some of the top 10 Catalan dishes that are too delicious to not try.
Pa amb Tomaquet - Essential, simple, and a classic. It’s sliced bread, tomato juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Patatas Bravas - Fried wedges of potatoes
Croquetas - In Catalonia, these are traditionally stuffed with meat. These wonderful fried bites are to die for,
Pebrots de Padron - Glistening, green roasted peppers sprinkled in olive oil and salt. It is uncomplicated and yet one of the most iconic tapas in Barcelona.
La Bomba - A popular tapa is a fried, crispy potato ball filled with meat served with usually a spicy sauce.
Calcot - Catalans go crazy for this smoked green onion, cooked in the fire while wrapped in paper and then dipped in romesco sauce. It is so popular that you can find it in restaurants and markets throughout the year.
Esqueixada - In this traditional Catalan salad, this refreshing dish revolves around uncooked salted cod, a very popular fish eaten in Barcelona. It is shredded with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, onions and olives.
Crema Catalana - Rich spanish custard with a caramel top to crack into.
Iberico Ham - This spanish meat is rich full of fat and mouth wateringly sweet and salty tastes. This is usually eaten alone with cheese or olives.
Escalivada - A very delicious dish with very mediterranean ingredients. This is made by grilling whole vegetables such as eggplants, peppers and tomatoes for that smokey taste, served with olive oil and salt and sometimes topped with anchovies.
