Barcelona Attractions

Barcelona is a vast city; the best way to sightsee is taking a car rent in Barcelona

. Tourist attractions are certainly in plentiful supply. There are a large number of churches, cathedrals and religious buildings to be found in this historic city of Barcelona. It is not surprising that the important and prominent city of Barcelona is full of many spectacular monuments and landmarks, many of which were built for the famous Barcelona Expo held in 1888. Barcelona has a rather noteworthy selection of museums and similar complexes, including probably some of the best historic collections in Spain.

One of the themes you can concentrate on while sightseeing can be the work of the most famous Spanish architect, Antonio Gaudi, since Barcelona features a lot of his structures. Starting with the overwhelming, yet still unfinished, Temple of Sagrada Familia, through the magical Parc Guell, to numerous apartment buildings such as La Pedrera, you can go around the city in search of more of his buildings. To see the whole panorama of the city and its vicinity, go to the Monjuic Mountain, from where you can feast your eyes on all of Barcelona, from the sea to the mountains.

Once on the mountain, there are also many places where you can rest while enjoying the surrounding nature, practice sports or visit the castle which now houses a military museum. Barcelona Aquarium is a popular Barcelona attraction to take the kids and young ones. The IMAX cinema is right next door to the Barcelona Aquarium.

Shopping in Barcelona is excellent and has arguably the best selection of shops in the whole of Spain. From top designer outlets to traditional family specialty stores, there are also large shopping arcades and department stores.

Boqueria Market is an exciting food market that is situated in a cavernous iron and glass structure and is filled with the freshest produce. In the evenings, many people sit outside in the squares and watch the world go by. Car hire service in Spain suits day trippers looking to explore the surrounding areas.
