As one of the most beautiful cities in Spain, Barcelona - the capital of the Catalonia region - has much to offer the millions of tourists that visit its streets each year. Famed for its fantastic architecture (the city is home to some of Antonio Gaudi's greatest works), Barcelona is also known for its sunny climate, its many festivals, and its beaches that run along the Mediterranean Sea. The boulevard of La Rambla is a highlight, as is the Placa d'Espanya, the Montjuic Castle, and the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia and Church of Santa Maria del Pi in the Barri Gotic/Ciutat Vella area. Barcelona's Zoo and its famous football team, FC Barcelona, also prove popular, as does the tour of the 1992 Olympic Games sights. Further afield lie the tourist destinations of Figueres, Sitges, Girona and Montserrat, whilst the Pyrenees mountain ranges are only a short drive away.
Barcelona is serviced by several key transportation types, including rail, ferry and plane. Barcelona's proximity to the Balearic Islands makes it a major port for ferries throughout the Mediterranean, with routes to Eivissa, Palma de Mallorca, Mahon, Civitavecchia and Genova. Rail connections to Spain's other major cities are also frequent, as are the inter-European trains that connect Barcelona to many international capitals. As one of the busiest airports in Europe, Barcelona International is perhaps the easiest way to get into the city, with airlines such as Jet2.com, Ryanair, British Airways, Clickair, Iberia and Spanair using the complex. For exploring the wider region car hire is recommended, with companies such as Sixt, Thrifty, National-Alamo, Budget and Hertz operating out of the major transportation hubs. |
