What to do in Barcelona

Barcelona is known worldwide for its stunning neo-gothic Basilica de la Sagrada Familia church. While you're in that part of the city, you can also visit the Gothic Quarter with parts of its Roman-era buildings still intact. Then take your hire car up to the hilltop area of Montjuïc, where you'll find a fortress from where you can take in some spectacular Mediterranean views.

Casa Batlló is another Gaudí masterpiece that you can marvel at, and if you're a Barça fan, you can visit their fabled Camp Nou home ground.
