Insider tips on exploring Barcelona

1. SPREAD OUT - The city centre is just the beginning. Barcelona welcomes almost 10 million tourists each year (!). Unfortunately, most remain in the city centre (Barri gotic, Rambla, etc.) and never experience the real Barcelona. 

TIP: use our Interactive Map to explore the sites represented in the books!

​

2. THE SKY´S THE LIMIT - Don´t miss out on the must see skylines!

• Waterfront rooftop of the Museum of Catalan History (free access to the roof + there is also a restaurant)

• The Corte Ingles Cafeteria at Placa Catalunya (Go for the view, not the food),

• Mirador de Joan Sales right above Parc Güell. Free access!

​

3. READ UP - Can´t get enough of Barcelona and Catalunya? See a list of highly recommended books (and movies) below!

• The Cathedral of the Sea – Ildefonso Falcon

• Homage to Catalonia – George Orwell

• Voices of the Old Sea – Norman Lewis

• The Time of the Doves – Mercè Rodoreda
