Barcelona, a Vibrant City Loved By All
Lively, historic, and right on the sea, Barcelona is a popular destination for all generations.

Magic Fountain
Tucked away in Barcelona's Montjuïc neighbourhood, the illuminated Magic Fountain has enthralled adults and children for decades. First constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, it's now the site of free open-air shows. The unique choreography brings water, colour, light, and music together for mystical performances.

Sagrada Família
No family holiday in Barcelona would be complete without a visit to Gaudí’s most iconic legacy. Construction of this famous Catholic landmark began in 1882 and is not set for completion until 2026, a century after its renowned architect died. The pinnacle of Gaudi’s distinctive architectural vision, it combines intricate, unique Gothic and Art Nouveau styles.

La Boqueria
Prepare dinner like a local on your family holiday in Barcelona by selecting fresh ingredients at the city's most scenic indoor market. Frequented by Barcelona residents since 1836 and located just off Las Ramblas, La Boqueria is a hive of activity. You can shop for everything from fruit and vine-ripened tomatoes to fragrant hard cheeses to incredibly fresh seafood, or you can wander the prepared food stalls and bars, snacking and enjoying a drink along the way.

Park Güell
Another of Gaudí’s masterpieces, Park Güell is a kaleidoscope of hypnotic colours and patterns, and the idyllic backdrop for families to enjoy the surrounding outdoors of Barcelona. Officially opened to the public in 1926, the UNESCO-recognised space comprises landscapes gardens, mosaic walls, and exquisite views.
