Barcelona is one of the most exciting and vibrant  capitals in the world. Year around the city is energetic with its music, exquisite food, unique architecture, spirited fashion, and lively good times.

Barcelona being an international city also has a great variety of other cuisine (Argentinean, Chinese, French, Italian, etc.), but if you want Chinese food for example, you will be missing a great culinary experience.

Barcelona's architecture of eccentric Gaudi throughout the city will fascinate and captivate as you explore this wonderful city. Barcelona has some of the best museums in the world with artworks by greats such as Picasso.
 
The sights, the sounds, the smells and the people's enthusiasm will leave you wanting more and more of this fabulous city.

ZONE Descriptions
We have broken Barcelona (arbitrarily) in different zones in an attempt to explain the diversity of the city from area to the next one. If you are staying for example in an hotel in Zone 3 and you wish to know what is nearby, just click on that zone and you will get a list of restaurants, shops, places to see etc. We have also provided you with a brief explanation of each zone. See below

ZONE 1.

  

ZONE 5.

This area of Barcelona known as BARCELONETA is the old fishermen's area of the city. Over the years this area declined in attraction, but a number of very picturesque restaurants opened there and made zone popular in spite of its run down appearance. During the recent Olympic games, the city undertook a major renovation project to reclaim the area. Today Barceloneta is full new buildings and restaurants. Plus, to add to the beautiful scenery the beaches are located in this area.

This zone is the most historical part of the city. It encompasses parts of the gothic area, the cathedral, the Picasso Museum, etc. The seaside part of this zone includes the Olympic port which is used largely by private yachts. This zone also includes the "old market", the zoological park, and the city park.
