7Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is an excellent choice for travellers who want history, architecture, food and the Mediterranean in one trip.
Antoni Gaudí’s extraordinary architecture gives the city a personality unlike anywhere else. The Sagrada Família and Park Güell are obvious highlights, while the Gothic Quarter provides atmospheric streets and historic buildings.
Then there is the food. Tapas, seafood, Catalan dishes and excellent markets make Barcelona particularly rewarding for travellers who enjoy trying local cuisine.
Its Mediterranean location also means you can combine city sightseeing with time near the beach.
