A guide to experiences and activities in Barcelona

Barcelona is known for its architecture, cosmopolitan atmosphere, fantastic weather, and of course, its proximity to the sea. But if you're looking for something different for your Barcelona vacation, we provide tips for places and activities that allow you to explore more than just the city. For example, you can explore the Montserrat massif, visit Cala Morisca, Sitges, or even learn to surf near Vilanova i La Geltrú.

More than just beaches. Go trekking in Montserrat.

Montserrat is located in the Barcelona province and is an impressive mountain formation. With its imposing cliffs, this mountain massif offers breathtaking natural scenery. At the top lies the Montserrat Monastery, a place of pilgrimage and spirituality that attracts thousands of people every year. Montserrat is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts with numerous trails through valleys and hills. The combination of the natural environment, history, and cultural significance makes Montserrat a unique destination in Barcelona.

Experience the coolest village: Sitges

The beaches and crystal-clear waters attract sunbathers and beach lovers year-round. Additionally, Sitges has a charming historic center with cobblestone streets and white houses in Mediterranean style. Did you know you can also find a mermaid here, just like in Copenhagen? This town is known for its nightlife, cultural festivals, and art scene. It offers a perfect combination of natural beauty, culture, and entertainment, making it a very special place on the Catalan coast.

Fantastic food right next to a hidden cove

Cala Morisca is a hidden paradise near Sitges' coast that you shouldn't miss on your Barcelona vacation. This cove is located in idyllic surroundings and offers turquoise blue water and a stone beach surrounded by cliffs. In this privileged environment, you'll find the Cala Morisca restaurant, which perfectly combines Mediterranean cuisine with a fantastic view. Guests can enjoy delicious local dishes such as fresh fish and seafood while enjoying panoramic views of the sea. The combination of the tranquility of the cove, the exquisite cuisine, and the hospitality of the restaurant makes Cala Morisca a very special place.

Learn to surf on your Barcelona vacation

Wave Addict is among others a surf school, and you'll find it in Vilanova i la Geltrú, just 40 minutes from Barcelona city, with Sitges as its neighboring town. This location is ideal, as the long sandy beaches with a progressive bottom are perfect for learning to surf. At the school, you can learn to surf whether you're an adult or a child. You can also improve your technique or even go on a surf trip.

Visit unique places in Barcelona

Barcelona's center, the Gothic Quarter, and its streets are something you shouldn't miss, whether you're on vacation in Barcelona or you're a local. Explore the Boquería market and all its shops, get lost in the stores in the Gothic Quarter, and discover authentic gems. Or dine at unique and charismatic places.

Indulge in 100% vegan fast food

We recommend "Vegan Junk Food" for delicious vegan fast food. They have revolutionized the concept of fast food by offering a wide range of incredibly tasty vegan options. From vegan burgers and hot dogs to crispy fries and vegan ice shakes. Vegan food enthusiasts (and non-vegans) can treat themselves to creative and delicious dishes.

Enjoy Tibidabo at sunset

Tibidabo Park, located on the mountain of the same name in Barcelona, ​​is a true treasure trove of fun and entertainment. With its privileged location and panoramic view of the city, the park offers a unique experience for visitors of all ages. You can enjoy exciting rides like roller coasters, live shows, and play areas.
