Dining and Drinking

A must see in Barcelona is to head for the Port Vell marina complex at the waterfront. Don’t forget to venture to the Cathedral de la Santa Creu and the grand Placa de Catalunya. Everybody who visits Barcelona must go and see the Sagrada Familia. This is the unfinished beautiful cathedral by the legend Gaudi. As well as the attractions mentioned there are also many museums scattere about the city. Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, Salvadore Dali Museum and Joan Miro Exhibition are well worth a check.

Yes it almost goes without saying that Barcelona is crammed full of some of the most breathtaking architecture in the world, just take a look at the Sagrada Familia Cathedral and see what a masterpiece it is and it is one of hundreds if not thousands of beautiful buildings in Barcelona, but there is so much more to Barcelona; the beach, FC Barcelona Museum, Picasso Museum, Las Ramblas and so on.

Now here is what you might think is an odd entry into a City holiday guide especially if you are like me and hate football – The FC Barcelona Museum.

Considered by far the best football museum in the world ? The FC Barcelona Museum seems to be open all the time and costs twice as much to get into than the Picasso Museum, but then here you get a guided tour.
