Transportation to Barcelona
Description
Barcelona is Spain's second largest city, with a population of nearly two million people, and the capital of Catalonia. A major port located on the northeastern Mediterranean coast of Spain, Barcelona has a wide variety of attractions that bring in tourists from across the globe. The many faces of Barcelona include the medieval Old Town, the unique street grid resulting from 19th-century urban planning. The city has both long sandy beaches and green parks on the hills, pretty much side-by-side. Barcelona is also famous for a number of prominent buildings, of which perhaps the most-known are by the architect Antonio Gaudi, including his Sagrada Familia, which became Barcelona's symbol to many.

Barcelona Travel Tips & Reviews
Oct 2, 2016
Barcelona is Spain's funkiest city. It has an artistic charm about it that can be seen at all times. The Sagrada Familia Basilica calls Barcelona home and fantastic views are available from Montjuic. The Catalan culture is different from "typical Spanish" so it's a culturally rich city. Of course, there is the beach too! Barcelona is a MUST for anyone traveling Europe.
