Barcelona

Modernist architecture, Mediterranean light, and a city that moves easily between culture and coast.

Spain's most layered city break

Barcelona offers range in a very compact form. Strong hotels, serious architecture, beach access, and a dining scene that can shift from relaxed to highly accomplished make it particularly useful for travellers who want energy without losing comfort. It works best when the city is paced carefully, with time for both its landmark moments and its more polished corners.
