7 days in Barcelona Itinerary

Barcelona, the country’s second-largest city, is a cosmopolitan urban center known for its throbbing youthful energy and stellar architecture.

Visit Playa de La Barceloneta and Nova Mar Bella Beach for some beach relaxation. Visiting Sailing Experience Barcelona and Bogatell Beach will get you outdoors. Go for a jaunt from Barcelona to Sitges to see La Playa de Sitges about 52 minutes away. There's much more to do: don't miss a visit to Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, explore the world behind art at Museu Picasso, pause for some serene contemplation at Barcelona Cathedral, and shop like a local with La Boqueria.
