Barcelona is one of those cities you can visit again and again. Its fantastic location, within reach of some of Spain's most beautiful coastline, together with its history, architecture and huge cultural program is what makes it one of Europe's most popular city destinations.
So, how can you max-out on culture when you visit Barcelona? Below are a few suggestions to consider.
The Picasso Museum
Barcelona is a place that has lots of museum, both public and private, and the Picasso Museum is a must-see on any tourist's itinerary. Picasso trained in Barcelona, and so the museum displays a comprehensive selection of the work he created whilst studying in the city. In this important collection, his technical skills as well as his growth as an artist was shown. In addition to this, a collection of over 40 ceramic pieces, which were donated to the museum by Jacqueline Picasso in the 1980s can also be found. The Picasso Museum is not to be missed since it is housed in magnificent medieval palaces and also has classical music concerts as well as the art collection.
What about the Architecture?
Costing you nothing but tired feet at the end of the day, you can view the history of Barcelona through its buildings. From its Roman Walls, visit the Gothic quarter, where the Cathedral, public and private buildings all take you back in time to the city's Medieval period. You will then have walked through thousands of years of Barcelona's history in just one day if you see Modernism buildings that are also World Heritage Sites and modern buildings such as those built for the 1992 Olympic Games.
Try to Experience the Festivals
Each year Barcelona, just like any major city, hosts a number of festivals. One of the best-known and also most popular ones which also encompasses a wide range of productions and performers is the Barcelona Grec Summer Festival. As a matter of fact, giving visitors a true taste of Spanish art and culture are the festivals such as the Ciutat Vella Flamenco Festival and the Barcelona Guitar Festival.
There's a whole lot of other cultural activities and events to keep you busy on your visit to this amazing city - and you'll want to come back for more
