How to Spend a Week in Bustling Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

There is so much to see in Barcelona, but with good planning and a pair of comfortable shoes, you can see so much of it in a week.

I have visited this vibrant city twice, for someone like me that loves art and architecture, Barcelona is a wonderland!

On our first trip we stayed in the amazing Hotel Majestic. Centrally located, the rooftop pool was a hit with the kids and the rooftop bar was a hit with me! With views over the city right out to the port, it was especially magical at night.

For our second visit to Barcelona, we stayed in apartment style accommodation for a week. With more time, we really got to explore the city in depth.

We walked down La Rambla, the main central street running through the heart of the city. It is also the main tourist strip, with street vendors galore and also the entrance to the colourful Mercat markets (these markets are huge, make sure you go in and have a look around). At the end of La Rambla, you will reach the port, we spent some time here looking at the impressive Port building and waterfront. ......
