 Barcelona tour: Take a hop-on-hop-off open top bus tour of Barcelona's famous sights. Details
 Las Ramblas
Las Ramblas is a busy street in central Barcelona, popular with both tourists and locals alike. A kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall in the Barri Gòtic, it connects Plaça de Catalunya in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell. Full of street performers, cafés and market stalls, it serves as the hub of Barcelona. Officially, La Rambla is a series of shorter streets, each differently named, hence the plural form Las Ramblas. From the Plaça de Catalunya toward the harbour, the street is successively the Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins, and the Rambla de Santa Monica. Construction of the Maremàgnum in the early 1990s resulted in a continuation of La Rambla on a wooden walkway into the harbor, the Rambla de Mar.

 The Magic Fountain
The Magic Fountain is a spectacular display of colour, light, motion, music and water acrobatics. It is a must see when you come to Barcelona.
The first performance of Montjuic's magic fountain was on May 19th 1929 during the great Universal Exhibition, for which it was built. The designer Carles Buigas submitted his plans one year before the exhibition and many thought the project was too ambitious to be created, let alone completed on time. Over 3,000 workers were commissioned to work on it and less than one year later it was completed.

 Picasso Museum
The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is indispensable for understanding the formative years of Pablo Ruiz Picasso. The genius of the young artist is revealed through the more than 3,500 works that make up the permanent collection. However, the Picasso Museum also reveals his relationship with Barcelona; an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth, and continued until his death. Thanks to the wishes of Picasso and his friend Jaume Sabartés, Barcelona now has the youthful work of one of the twentieth century’s most significant artists.

 Miró Museum
Throughout his life, Joan Miró took a particular interest in the diversity of materials, forms and colours. It led him to explore and experiment with different art forms such as painting, sculpture, printing techniques, ceramics, the theatre, and tapestry. One result of this was a collaboration with Josep Royo, an innovative craftsman, who during the seventies aroused Miró's interest in tapestry and textiles.
