Right after your hotel shuttle drops you off in the grand old city of Barcelona, it is immediately obvious that you’ll need days (if not weeks) to fully explore the wonders that the city has to offer. If you don’t have a lot of time, though, then you need to make the most of what you have and make sure to visit these five must-see tourist attractions of Barcelona. Aquarium Barcelona (L’Aquarium de Barcelona) If you are a fan of wildlife – especially marine life – then you’ve definitely come to the right place. Thirty-five individual aquariums, 11,000 animals, six million litres of water, an 80-meter underwater tunnel, and the only Oceanarium in Europe make the Aquarium one of the largest in the entire world. It’s located at the Moll d’Espanya del Port Vell, and directions on how to get there are listed on its website, though you could probably chat with your hotel shuttle driver for some insider tips.
Museum of the FC Barcelona (FC Barcelona Museu)
If you’re a fan of football (soccer in the other parts of the world), then you absolutely must plan a trip to the official museum of Catalonia’s premier football club. Everything from the trophy room to the fully interactive touch-screen will send football fans squealing in delight, which is why this museum’s the second most visited in the city. It’s located at Av.Arístides Maillol and is such a prominent landmark you can’t miss it - even as you pass by on your hotel shuttle. Picasso Museum (Museu Picasso) If you’re on the lookout for fine art, the Picasso Museum is just the place to visit. The most popular museum of the city, it houses 3,500 works by the famous Picasso himself and is the most complete collection of his works anywhere in the world – they include The First Communion and Science and Charity. It is located in Montcada Street and is once again a landmark you simply can’t miss from the road. Magic Fountain of Montjuïc (Font màgica de Montjuïc) If you want something that takes your breath away, then the nightly light shows provided by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc is a sight you absolutely must see at least once on your trip. The amazing light-and-water display coupled with awe-inspiring music makes for a very effective combination. The fountain itself is located at the head of Avenida Maria Cristina in Montjuïc – just make sure you contact your hotel shuttle service to book a tour that will coincide with a light show. Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family(Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família) The Basilica is everything that Barcelona is famous for – history, religion, architecture and grandeur all in one package. The Nativity façade and the roof details are especially amazing, even if the Basilica itself is technically still under construction at the moment. Trivia: the building itself is expected to be completed around 2026 to 2028. Make sure to contact your hotel shuttle guide to book a tour to this one-of-a-kind basilica.
