Barcelona, the capital of the Catalan region of Spain, is the all-you-can-eat buffet of city visits. There are so many things to see, do and taste that it’s a crime that you can’t try them all. This heady mix makes it the ultimate destination for family adventures, and even our arrival happened on a turbocharged note as we travelled directly from Madrid on a bullet train booked via Rome2Rio.com.
Known around the world for its unique architecture, which includes Antoni Gaudi’s Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona is home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the largest soccer stadium in Europe and an extensive collection of Pablo Picasso’s artworks, and it is the most visited city in Spain.
