The 10 Best Things to do in Port Vell (Old Port), Catalonia
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

Definitely recommend this museum if you want to learn more about Catalonia. Was 6 euros and you can easily spend a couple hours here. You follow the history of the region chronologically, and the exhibits are also kid friendly and equally interesting for adults! Most information is in Catalan, Spanish and English, however some of the information about specific artefacts was not in English (but I didn't mind this, you still get the idea). Really informative, and you can end by checking you the beautiful view of the harbor from the roof! You don't need to eat at the restaurant to see it.

Do not miss this for the world if you are in Barcelona. It has a quite expensive commercial center(MareMagnum), nice places to eat or have a beer, a very clean wooden platform(washed every morning), cleaner than I had in my hotel room, excellent places to sit and relax by the sea, to watch all the cruise vessels, the yachts, small boats coming and going out. If you are there at around 19.00, you can see a big passenger vessel approaching and mooring in the narrow part of the port(the one closer to the wooden platform). Impressive indeed!!! Great maneuver of that captain.

We had a little time our last evening, and decided to take a stroll at the Platja de Sant Sebastiá. It was clean, not too crowded, and just right for us to toss our shoes and go for a little barefoot stroll in the shallow surf. It was a great way to end our days in Barcelona.

Ride to the top, and you'll see! The Columbus Monument which was dedicated in 1888 as part of the ceremonies marking the Universal Exhibition, stands at the end of La Rambla of Barcelona, near the sea. Take the lift inside the column to the viewing gallery at the top, a viewpoint 60 meters above the ground, where you can enjoy great views of Barcelona.
