Barcelona is Spain's second largest city, and one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. La Rambla is a fantastic pedestrian district, full of street performers, restaurants and bars. Barcelona is so popular as it has something for everyone; culture, beaches, nightlife etc. 

The best time to visit the city is in August, as most of the Spanish population are on holiday, making the city much quieter than normal. From a weather point of view, aim to visit between April and June or September and November, as the temperature is much more reasonable (not too hot or too cold!). 

There are a variety of events and festivals that take place throughout the year. Buy a good guide book for the best things to see and do once you are there!
