About Barcelona
Barcelona works equally well for a 48-hour city break or a two-week Mediterranean base — the combination of beach, architecture, food, and nightlife means there's genuine depth for both. Gaudí's work runs through the city like a continuous thread: the Sagrada Familia basilica, Park Guell's mosaic terraces, Casa Batllo and Casa Mila on the Passeig de Gracia are all within a short metro ride of each other. The Gothic Quarter's narrow medieval lanes sit minutes from the Eixample's structured modernist grid, giving the city an unusual dual personality. For food, the locals go to Mercat de Santa Caterina in the Born neighbourhood rather than the tourist-heavy Boqueria on La Rambla — better produce, better prices, fewer cameras. Barcelona El Prat (BCN) has one of Europe's most competitive short-haul markets: Vueling, Ryanair, and easyJet all operate large bases here, which keeps fares sharp. Shoulder season (April-June, September-October) consistently delivers 30-50% lower fares than July-August while the city is less crowded and the temperature more comfortable. Sitges (30 min by train) and Montserrat (1 hour) are the two most worthwhile day trips.
Where to stay in Barcelona
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- Gothic QuarterBest for first visit
The oldest part of Barcelona and the easiest base for a first trip. The Roman ruins, the cathedral, and the Picasso Museum are all within walking distance, and Las Ramblas is at the western edge. Barceloneta beach is a 15-minute walk south. The streets are narrow and often crowded, but the central location means you can cover most of the main sights on foot without relying on the metro.
Metro: L3 Liceu, L4 Jaume I · Airport: Aerobus around 35 min to city centre · Busy, historic, central
- EixampleBest with kids
The 19th-century grid district is where most of Barcelona's Modernisme architecture sits - Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, and La Pedrera are all here. The wide, straight boulevards and consistent block layout are significantly more manageable with a pushchair or young children than the narrow lanes of the Gothic Quarter. Passeig de Gràcia has large pavements, plenty of restaurants with outdoor seating, and a relaxed pace during the day. Generally quieter at night than the old town.
Metro: L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 (multiple stops) · Airport: Aerobus around 30-35 min to Placa Catalunya · Upscale, architecturally rich, residential
- El BornBest for a weekend
The neighbourhood between the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta that has aged best - the Mercat de Santa Caterina, the Palau de la Música, and a dense network of bars and wine shops make it an enjoyable area for 2-3 nights. Quieter than Las Ramblas but still very central. The Born market building itself, a 19th-century iron structure that now houses excavated ruins from 1714, is worth an hour.
