You can enjoy great deals for holiday packages in Barcelona but you should plan your Barcelona city breaks before you book . Barcelona is the second biggest city of Spain in terms of populace and size. It is also the Catalonia capital. Barcelona has a varied geography along with glorious history, culture and traditions. The city of Barcelona beckons tourists from all around the world to come and enjoy beautiful Barcelona weekend breaks. Barcelona has developed greatly and is a modern hub of industrialization. It also has flourishing arts and culture. Barcelona is an interesting mix of traditions and modernity and the tourists are enthralled to see the well preserved historical sites in the modern milieu. Gothic Centre is one such site.

In Barcelona there is no shortage of attractions to make your holiday one to remember, but the first place to start for couples should be Las Ramblas. If you are staying in the city centre, it will be your hub for all activity.

This bustling street extends from Monument a Colon - The Columbus Monument - to Placa Catalunya with lots of street attractions to be sampled along the way. You'll find stalls - where you can pick up a few souvenirs - street acts and some of the best examples of gothic architecture anywhere in Europe. Although the sights on the street are more than enough to grab your attention, don't forget to look up at these grand structures.

More than 3.5million tourists now visit the beaches every year. The city's council is continually improving services, creating a cleaner and safer place. Part of this mission has included the establishment of the Barcelona Beach Center. Here you can take part in a number of free exhibitions and activities or simply relax with the day's newspapers.

Depending on what kind of beach experience you are looking for might affect where you decide to stay. As always, renting an apartment is the cheapest way to stay in Barcelona. The beaches at the southern end of the city - Sant Sebastia and Barceloneta - are closest to its centre and are livelier. For students and young travellers, these are the places to pick out an apartment.
