Parc de la Ciutadella

posted by kllora on 31 March 2011 at 15:52

The Parc de la Ciutadella is the largest area of parkland in central Barcelona and has some lovely little bits of artwrk in it, a lake which you can hire a boat to row around on, and a zoo. This is also where the Catalan Parliament sits. All in all its a lovely place to go to chill out.

Cathedral of St Eulia

posted by ppowers on 31 March 2011 at 15:48

The Cathedral of St Eulia is the most important attraction in the Barri Gothic part of town. It is an incredible piece of medieval architecture with a vast vaulted nave and some suitably gruesome gargoyles. It's also situated in a lovely part of town with nearby fleamarkets and cafes.

Nou Camp

posted by mbowman on 31 March 2011 at 15:45

Fotball is something of a religion in Barcelona and the Nou Camp is one hell of a temple. Here you can visit the ground and the museum which is predictably stuffed with silver ware. Arguably the 2010 world cup should be amongst the trophies on show here

Aristides Maillol, 12-18

Musee du Quai Branly

posted by xschere on 31 March 2011 at 12:03

Now I know that in Paris there are hundreds of museums competing for your attention, but try this one. It's a world of non-europen culture housed in an amazing building, totally unforgettble. As a little taster they have ethiopian frescoes and vietnamese costumes!

where, when, how, web
37-55 Quai Branly, just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower

Musee de l'Orangerie

Totally stunning, brave the queues, it's totally worth it! Simply put, there are 8 of Monet's waterlily paintings here, they are huge and gorgeous.
