Barcelona, a renowned harbor city, enjoys warm temperatures in summer and mild ones in winter thanks to the Mediterranean sea by its coastline and beaches, as well as the countless hills surrounding the city.
Our city is known throughout the world as home to the vast cultural heritage of over two thousand years, and for being able to combine this with modern infrastructures and a wide range of leisure options available to visitors. Its architecture and urbanisation are part of the city’s unique personality.
The Roman city walls, the medieval Gothic quarter, the capital of Catalan Art Nouveau “Modernisme” and more recently, other projects designed by leading contemporary architects, make the city aesthetically and visually unmistakeable.
Barcelona is also a highly attractive place for shopping, where you can find absolutely everything while you enjoy
pleasant strolls around its streets. In the city’s historic centre, small shops are aligned next to large department stores and characteristic boutiques, and Passeig de Gracia, Rambla Catalunya and Diagonal are home to the world's best-known and most exclusive brands of fashion, leather and jewels.
Let’s not forget the gastronomy: with an incredibly comprehensive range of Mediterranean, local and international cuisine on offer, Barcelona's restaurants also make their contribution to the city's great image and reputation.
We can assure you this: Barcelona is one of the most interesting cities in the world – do not miss out on visiting
it at least once in your life!
