Barcelona... So Much to See.
Thre are literally thousands of different things to do and see in Barcelona. Some people come to party, some people come to shop; some adore the architecture of the surrealists whilst others just want to take in the entire city all at once.
With this in mind we have put together a list of the top 10 attractions (by visitor numbers) during 2007. We expect 2008 to remain the same. As always, if you want to avoid the queues, get to each of these locations early. During peak times (public holidays and July/August) you can expect wait times of up to 2 hours to see some of the key attractions.
As the guide grows, we will be adding to this section and breaking it down further bringing you our unique insider tips and hits to make your trip to Barcelona even more enjoyable.
