Cultural Hotspots of Barcelona

Barcelona is considered by many to be one of the most culturally rich and exciting cities in Europe, and it is for this very reason that thousands of people visit the city each year. The sheer size of Barcelona can make it seem difficult to determine what events and places are truly worth visiting, but the following article will detail what you should keep and eye out for while you’re in the city. This article will also discuss how to find appropriate Barcelona apartments to rent for your stay.

Galleries

Barcelona is filled with art galleries displaying some of the most cutting edge modern and classic art. One of Spain’s most famous artists, Pablo Picasso, has his own museum in Barcelona and it is one of the most popular cultural attractions in the city. The Museu Picasso de Barcelona can be found at Carrer de Montcada and it is home to one of the biggest collections in the world of Picasso’s work. This Time Out article has a list of smaller and lesser-known art galleries in Barcelona worth visiting.

Landmarks

Of course, Barcelona is extremely famous for its architecture and the landmarks of the city are very distinctive in their form and purpose. Antoni Gaudi is perhaps Spain’s most loved architect, and his work can be seen all over Barcelona. La Sagrada Familia is a massive cathedral Gaudi designed and remains Barcelona’s most popular tourist attraction. The gigantic and unique rounded spires of the building are synonymous with the architect’s work. La Casa Mila is another famous building that was designed by Gaudi, and was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1984. Further information regarding landmarks and buildings designed by Gaudi can be found in this article on the Barcelona Tourist Guide website.

Renting in Barcelona

There are many factors that must be considered when searching for Barcelona vacation rentals. The length of your stay, the amount of people in your party and the areas you wish to be near by should all be taken into account when browsing through what’s on offer, and for this reason all readers are advised to rent from a flexible but reputable company such as ShBarcelona. ShBarcelona are the current leaders in the single-month apartment rental market.
