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.

Winter 2025/21 in Barcelona

In winter you can spend the entire day driving around the city simply looking at the wondrous architecture. One of the most spectacular attractions is the Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall with a magnificent facade. 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.

Excellent service! I felt very well taken care of and got a good deal, it went quick and easy. I could pay with a debit card, lots of rental places only allow credit cards, so that was convenient for me as well. I had lots of problems using Doyouspain.com in the past, I think going directly with Sixt is a winning strategy!
