The historical city of Barcelona is visited by millions of people. Some tourists come for longer stays, while others just quickly view the city in a few days, but no matter the amount of time they spend, they thoroughly enjoy what this Spanish city has to offer. The Barcelona paintings are always intriguing, and can be found at several art galleries. A good selection can be viewed at the Francisco Godia Foundation, Galeria Brok and the Galeria D'Art Manuel Barbie.
Over and above pictures of paint creations, tourists will see many amazing sculptures and items of pottery at the galleries. Hours can be spent just admiring these tremendous works of art. Keep in mind the antique furniture that is also available for purchase at the Galeria Brok. The opening hours of the galleries vary, but most are open six days a week from 09:00 to 20:00. A tourist office can provide more information.
Many of the main attractions are within walking distance, and therefore walking tours are available for tourists. They are nice because they are led by an English guide who is knowledgeable regarding the history of the sights. It is best to book a walking tour early, from one of the tourist offices. You will find the main place of information in the Placa Catalunya.
If the thought of walking is not appealing, the buses are a good alternative. Tourist buses drive a continuous route past many of the city's main attractions, and their passengers can hop off to spend some time at one location and hop back on when they are ready to move on to the next. The tourist office can give you the hours that the buses will be available, and you will have to pay for tickets.
Parc Guell is considered as one of the main attractions, and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Here the Hundred Columns Room is often visited, where the works of Gaudi are truly fascinating. The La Sagrada Familia and the Casa Vincens are other structures related to Gaudi.
For animal-lovers, the city boasts a large aquarium and a zoo with a diverse range of animal species. There are sharks among many other sea creatures at the aquarium, as well as a sea life center that has facilities for children. The aquarium is also a rather unique, transparent building. At the zoo, you can meet Snowflake, the only albino gorilla in captivity, along with over 7,000 other animals.
When the weather is warm Barcelona's beautiful beach is the place to be. There are actually a couple available, including Bogatell and Nova Mar Bella. All of them have facilities. Under two very high buildings, you will find the Olympic Port, known for its ample places of entertainment.
Another two places to visit are the Museo Picasso and the Ramblas de Canaletes. The first-mentioned is a museum that houses some spectacular Barcelona paintings by Picasso, as well as some of his ceramic works. The second is a walkway with kiosks selling newspapers from different countries around the world.
