The entire area is perfect for sightseeing, shopping and dining.

Many people think that beaches are not great in Barcelona but the Playa la Barcelona is 10 minutes away from the core of the city. One can even go for Sitges Beach, right outside the capital and enjoy a great time at the beach as well. Leave the sun and go for Gothic delights at Barri Gotic. This popular tourist attraction spot is filled with bars, cafes and squares. Sunday is the perfect day to visit Barri Gotic because dancers will perform the Catalonian Dance sardana.

If time permits, you can go to the Universal's Port Aventura amusement park that is located in a city near Barcelona, Tarragona.
