Located on the Mediterranean coast, Barcelona is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. This cosmopolitan city is also one of Spain’s most important economic, cultural and commercial hubs, attracting both leisure and business tourism from all over the globe. Every year, thousands of tourists visit Barcelona to discover its uniqueness or attend numerous conferences, committees and other types of meetings.

Thanks to its great weather, diet, and above all, its character, you will see the true meaning of the word ‘Mediterranean’ in Barcelona. You can feel its cosmopolitan and dynamic spirit in the air and you actually live the Mediterranean experience. This magic draws you out onto the streets to stroll and enjoy the city’s five km of Mediterranean beaches.

And what history: over 2000 years of it! You´ll come across Roman ruins, Gothic treasures, and surprises from the Renaissance age. Visiting the different corners of Barcelona is an authentic journey through time.

Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Gaudí, Tàpies… they were in their time at the vanguard of their movements and their testing-ground was Barcelona. That creative flair and typical Catalan restlessness is very much part of the city today and this is reflected in the buildings, exhibitions, and the design and art that you’ll find in the most unexpected places.

People in Barcelona are very mindful of the legacy that we want to leave our grandchildren, so that’s why we want to protect our environment and resources. Barcelona was the first city in the world to get Biosphere certification, which is a guarantee that Barcelona manages its tourism in a responsible and sustainable way.
