Barcelona with Primo Vacations

Glorious gothic buildings.

Brilliantly impressive beaches.

Stylish streets of Catalonia.

Perched magnificently on the Mediterranean coast, Barcelona is one of the most beautifully cultural cities in Europe.

Barcelona will suit your needs, whether you’re searching for the idyllic European family vacation, looking to go travelling in Europe, or simply wanting a cheap European vacation. This is a city as diverse in style, range and culture as any in the world.

Wherever you're interests lie, you can be assured that you will fall in love with the architecture, museums, entertainment and culture of this historic city, which lies in the heart of Catalonia.

Architecture
Barcelona is a luxurious city, rich in culture and rich in history. Home to some of the most glamorous buildings in all of Europe, many of which are still to be completed. The church of Sagrada Familia has been under construction sine 1882, but is still not due to be completed until 2026! Since building began, the church has been funded by private and public donations.

The people of Barcelona are as passionate and proud of their city as the architects who began building centuries ago.

The Gothic Quarter is the centrepiece of any Barcelona vacation for most tourists. The buildings in this area date from medieval times, but Catalan Modernisme architecture dominates the skyline of this astonishing city.

You can observe magnificent views from the top of La Seu, stretching sights over the whole of this gorgeous city paradise. This is one of the most picturesque views you could possibly imagine.

Museums
One of the highlights of any European vacation with Primo is taking the time to admire the beauty of the places you visit. There are fewer beautiful cities in the world than Barcelona.

The famous museums of Barcelona must not be avoided; there is so much to tell, so much to see and so much to boast about. Masses of galleries and museums line the streets of Barcelona, all covering many different areas and eras. All tell their side of the story to how Barcelona became the delightful city it is today.

Art, Science, War, History, Entertainment….it is all here. Some of the marvellous museums in Barcelona include:

• The National Museum of Art in Catalonia
• Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art
• Picasso Museum
• Barcelona Maritime Museum

Camp Nou
Camp Nou (or The Nou Camp) is for any sports fan, the must-see structure in Spain. It is simply the greatest soccer stadium in Europe, possibly even the world.

Home of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou is the largest soccer stadium in Europe, holding more than 98,000 spectators.

Tours of this magnificent stadium are available at very good prices, and will leave you feeling amazed and in awe.

FC Barcelona are currently the holders of the European Cup, and widely known for playing the most beautiful soccer on the planet. With the world’s greatest player, Lionel Messi, starring in the team, tickets for matches sell like hot-cakes. There are often opportunities, however, to get tickets on match days, or you can book online.

Beaches
Barcelona is not all culture, museums and architecture, however. There are seven beaches surrounding the coastline. Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches are the largest, oldest and the most frequented beaches in Barcelona.


So, while you shop till you drop in the stylish cobbled high streets in the morning, you can relax by the ocean in the afternoon, visit the historic Gothic Quarter in the evening, and take in the breathtaking views over Catalonia at sunset.

There are hundreds of hotels and hostels in the Barcelona metropolitan area to choose from. Or you can treat yourself to a vacation of genuine luxury, by staying in one of the most sought after hotels in the city, by travelling with Primo Vacations – at unbelievable low prices.
