When we are planning next holidays, often it is difficult to decide where to travel. Some of us better like to stay for a week on the seaside, rest prefer to do sightseeing among phenomenal monuments in large metropolis.

Fortunately you do not need to select among two options, because in Barcelona you'll have everything you need.

Get finest offer

Nowadays the cheapest alternative is to arrange a tour to Barcelona by yourself. However if you're a spontaneous individual you can either seek for last minute deals in your local travel agency. Barcelona is really popular place, so you shouldn't have a problem to get the best offer for you. But if you choose to arrange holidays on your own you better book flights 6 months before the journey, when the best prices are available. Beside, to spare even more cash, don't take a registered luggage.

Exploration of Barcelona

During one week in this magical town you will have an opportunity to admire plenty of monuments available in there. If you selected last minute deal in travel agency you may pay for a tour with a guide, however a lot more convenient option will be to do sightseeing on your own. Barcelona is mostly famous because of architecture created by local artist, Antonio Gaudi. Main symbol of the city, Sagrada Familia cathedral, is phenomenal combination of Catalan and medieval style. Another piece of Gaudi's, Casa Mila, an amazing building designed in shape of ocean's waves and decorated with shells and colorful stones.

However Barcelona is also good place to explore more common architecture, such as St. Eulalia's basilica for example. It is really amazing temple placed in the center of old quarter. In the Barcelona you may also visit the Gallery dedicated to Picasso.
