It is one of the most popular cities in Europe and attracts millions of tourists from all over the world every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona has everything a traveler could want: sun, sea, beach, history, culture, and incredibly good food. The city is famous for its architecture, especially Antoni Gaudi&#8217;s buildings, such as the iconic Sagrada Familia and Park G\u00fcell.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona&#8217;s climate is Mediterranean, making it pleasant weather almost all year round. In short, a city break in Barcelona is always a good idea.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun things to do in Barcelona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is so much to see and do in Barcelona and you can easily entertain yourself for weeks. What to do in Barcelona during a city break? I&#8217;ve visited Barcelona numerous times over the last fifteen years, and in this blog post, I&#8217;ll tell you all about the fun things to do in Barcelona and the most beautiful Barcelona sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Park G\u00fcell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona is the city of Antoni Gaud\u00ed. All over the city, you will come across beautiful buildings and parks designed by this famous architect. Park G\u00fcell is one of them and this is one of the most&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kevmrc.com\/famous-landmarks-in-barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">famous landmarks in Barcelona<\/a>. It\u2019s very popular with tourists, there are people everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also has a reason, because this park on a hill in Barcelona is arguably the most beautiful in the world. The houses at the entrance and the winding bench with a colorful mosaic are spectacular to see. It looks like you&#8217;ve found yourself walking around in a fairytale. It gets quieter the more you climb uphill. High in the park you also have an amazing view of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/barcelona-l45\/skip-the-line-park-guell-entrance-ticket-t53791\/?partner_id=W6KKB1C&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=fun-things-to-do-in-barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">Buy your admission ticket online<\/a> so you don&#8217;t have to stand in the (long) line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min.jpg\" alt=\"Parc Guell\" class=\"wp-image-30801\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-227x152.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-143x96.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-Guell-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Font M\u00e0gica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost every evening you can see the colorful fountain show of the Font M\u00e0gica several times.

Along the street, you will find numerous stalls, cafes, restaurants, and street performers. It&#8217;s a nice street to explore, as it is incredibly lively and there is always something to see. Beware of pickpockets, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> While walking down La Rambla, visit the Mercado de La Boqueria as well. This is a beautiful covered market and you will find numerous stalls selling fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Casa Batll\u00f3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaud\u00ed has designed two apartment complexes in Barcelona that you can visit; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/casa-mila-l3038\/skip-the-line-casa-mila-ticket-with-audio-guide-t49864\/?partner_id=W6KKB1C&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=fun-things-to-do-in-barcelona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\">Casa Mila<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Casa Batllo<\/strong>. I have visited both and as far as I am concerned, (the slightly less crowded) Casa Batll\u00f3 is the more beautiful of the two.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Casa Battl\u00f3 has an awful lot of colorful details, and amazingly beautiful chimneys and the facade is a picture to behold.

Here you will find numerous restaurants, bars, and a vast sandy beach where you can soak up the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parc de la Ciutadella<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The largest park in Barcelona is Parc de la Ciutadella and this is a wonderful place to relax during your weekend in Barcelona. The most notable structure in the park is the beautiful Cascada del Parc de la Ciutadella on the edge of a pond. In addition, there are also several beautiful works of art to be found in the park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-id=\"30799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min.jpg\" alt=\"Parc de la Ciutadella\" class=\"wp-image-30799\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-227x152.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-143x96.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-1-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" data-id=\"30800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min.jpg\" alt=\"Parc de la Ciutadella\" class=\"wp-image-30800\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-227x152.jpg 227w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-143x96.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-385x257.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.opreismetco.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Parc-de-la-Ciutadella-2-min-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MNAC &#8211; Museu Nacional d&#8217;Art de Catalunya<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to visit a museum during your trip to Barcelona?
