In Spain there are a great number of interesting cities, but Barcelona is perhaps one of the most-loved of all because it is filled with modern and historical attractions. Vacationers can spend their time here viewing magnificent Barcelona paintings at the art galleries of Galeria D'Art Manuel Barbie, Galeria Brok, the Francisco Godia Foundation and several others, or by enjoying the architecture of some of the city's famous buildings. There are plenty of modern attractions too.
All of the Spanish art galleries just mentioned are filled with interesting works of art, sculptures and pottery. Antique furniture can even be bought at the Galeria Brok, located at Pau Claris 167. Most of the art galleries are open to the public from about nine in the morning to eight in the evening during the week and on Saturdays, but their times do vary and therefore it may be best to get a guidebook with the details.

This majestic and historical city can be easily seen by bus, or there are also walking tours that many find fascinating. The walking tours can be booked at the tourist information office, and you will be accompanied by a tour guide. The tours are conducted in English, and usually start at about ten in the morning. The main tourist information office is located in the Placa Catalunya.
If the thought of walking is not appealing, the buses are a good alternative. Tourist buses drive a continuous route past many of the city's main attractions, and their passengers can hop off to spend some time at one location and hop back on when they are ready to move on to the next. The tourist office can give you the hours that the buses will be available, and you will have to pay for tickets.
Tourists love to stop at Parc Guell, as well as at the other buildings for which Gaudi, a famous architect, is famous. The Parc Guell is a UNESCO world heritage site, and features the Hundred Columns Room down steps nearby the park's entrance. Gaudi is also associated with the Casa Vincens and the La Sagrada Familia.
Some of the city's best attractions are modern and ideal for children, such as the zoo and L'Aquarium, two places filled with wonderful animals. Water creatures inhabit the aquarium, and over 7,000 different animals are found at the zoo. The aquarium features an intriguing transparent structure, while Snowflake, an albino gorilla, is a favorite resident at the zoo. Additional attractions include the sea life center.
Further attractions include the beaches along the shore and the Olympic Port. The beach area runs for almost two miles in length, and there are amenities for swimmers nearby. At the Olympic Port, tourists can relax at restaurants, nightclubs and bars, or enjoy one of the many other forms of entert
