City breaks to Barcelona - Voyage Privé

City breaks to Barcelona

Barcelona offers a city break like no other. A rare combination of culture, history, and gastronomy are all on the doorstep in one of Europe’s most intriguing and glamorous cities.

Culture

Barcelona is, above all else, a city steeped in history. The medieval centre of Barcelona, Ciutat Vella offers a unique insight into the fascinating history of the Catalan region. The city’s walls were demolished in 1854, although fragments can still be seen near the port, in what has become the Barcelona maritime museum. The city truly is a wonderful blend of the modern and the medieval, with streets and building dating from Roman times right through to the 21st century, making it the perfect choice for a cultural city break. Why not take a stroll through the Gothic quarter, explore the incredible architecture and beautiful surroundings, learning more about this amazing city through its plentiful museums, galleries and monuments?

One of the most celebrated aspects of the city’s urban fabric is the numerous architectural constructions of Antoni Gaudi – one of the most famous Catalonians in recent history, and arguably the most influential architect in Barcelona’s long history. His distinctive, colourful, imposing buildings are scattered throughout the city – and dominant among these is the Sagrada Familia, his unfinished masterpiece. This large church is still under construction, some 90 years after the architect’s death, and is not scheduled for completion until 2026. With its imposing towers, intricate stonework and multitude of stained glass windows creating incredible visual effects, the Sagrada Familia is a must-see for any visitor to the city.
