Barcelona, Spain - Shore Excursion Cruises

The largest football stadium in Europe!

An iconic building in the heart of Barcelona, well worth seeing during your visit to appreciate it's size!

Beautiful city, just a shame about the low-lifes that inhabit it. There are hundreds of them that work in gangs. Mostly from eastern europe but to be honest you wouldn't be able to tell the difference as they are all sun tanned. Do not take risks conceal your money well.

Despite the best view of barca possible the cafe and restaraunt prices are very cheap 8eu average for main meal in cafe = half a chicken and fries or a V large paella They could chage 10eu for the view alone take a camera TAXI from ingles airport 35eu cruise port 12eu

Follow in the footsteps of the players that have made history, such as Cruyff, Maradona and Ronaldinho as you visit the presidents box, the press area, the changing room area and then down the tunnel and onto the pitch. Tour from €17 (Adults). However, nothing beats watching an actual La Liga match!

The Gothic Quarter is just east off the Ramblas and contains medieval Gothic buildings dating from the 14th and 15th century in what was the centre of old Barcelona. It's a maze of interconnecting dark streets joining together medieval squares. The main tourist attractions are the magnificent Gothic cathedral, the Ajuntament, Plaça del Rei and the Palau de la Generalitat. The city's history museum on Carrer de Veguer is well worth a look. There's a good selection of cafés and bars, especially around Plaça de Sant Jaume, so refreshments are never far away.

At the bottom of La Rambla (where some of the ships dock) beyond the Columbus Monument is the bustling of Port Vell. This was formerly the old port of Barcelona but today is an ultra modern leisure zone with bars, restaurants, shopping arcades, the Barcelona Aquarium and an Imax cinema. Another fun thing to do down here is to take a boat excursion on one of the 'golondrinas' which takes you around the harbour and along to Port Olímpic where the sailing events at the 1992 Olympic Games took place. Nice restuarants and keep following the road around to find a small beach.

Let's start with a rather unusual recommendation. In Plaça de Catalunya (Plaça de Catalunya,14) there's a huge El Corte Inglés department store, take the escalator to the 9th floor where there's a well stocked café/restaurant and marvel at the amazing view up Passeig de Gracia and over the rooftops of Modernist Barcelona. It's a good place to take a break and to work out your bearings in this rather spread out city. And fantastic shopping

It is a long boulevard which joins the Monument a Colom (Columbus monument) by the port to Placa de Catalunya. All day long you'll find all kinds of buskers and mime artists in action as well as stalls selling flowers, newspapers, birds and rabbits. Look out for Palau de la Virreina, a grand 18th-century mansion, which is next to the Boqueria market.

Watch the world go by from a pavement cafe in this capital of culture. Take in Gaudi's breathtaking La Sagrada Familia, amble down Las Ramblas or explore the Gothic Quarter. Also visit the Park Guell containing amazing stone structures, stunning tiling and fascinating buildings.
