Ideally situated on the Mediterranean coast, Barcelona (the Capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain) is now one of the most popular destinations for European city breaks and with good reason. This city is famous for its barcelona hotels and cosy barcelona apartments, which can accommodate all kind of travellers.

Designated as a world-class city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network, Barcelona's cultural roots go back 2000 years.

To a greater extent than the rest of Catalonia, where Catalonia's native Catalan is more dominant, Barcelona is a bilingual city: Catalan and Spanish are both official languages and widely spoken.

Combining the beach with fabulous architecture, history, culture, and great weather, this vibrant city really does have it all.

With the second largest airport in Spain just 25 minutes from the city centre and with Girona airport just over an hour away, Barcelona is easily accessible from anywhere in Europe.

In no time at all you can find yourself looking up at the impressive Sagrada Familia or just lying on the beach sipping a cocktail from one of the many chiringuitos.

So what are you waiting for? Come and see for yourself what makes so many people fall in love with this city...
