Where To Find Barcelona Paintings And Further Sightseeing Attractions

By Jayne Rutledge


Barcelona is one of the most fabulous Spanish cities that you can visit. Whether you have have weeks of vacation available, or only a few days to spare, you will surely find plenty of spectacular attractions to keep you busy. If you are particularly interested in art, there is an abundance of Barcelona paintings to be enjoyed. The several popular art galleries in the city include the Galeria D'Art Manuel Barbie, Galeria Brok and the Francisco Godia Foundation.

The places of art in this city are well-known and visited often by tourists. They have displays of pottery and sculptures, in addition to their paintings, and visitors can even buy antique furniture at the Galeria Brok. This gallery can be found at Pau Claris 167. The galleries are open on weekdays, from the morning till evening, and many of them open on Saturdays too. However, their times can differ, therefore it is best to get advice from a tourist center first.

The city is quite easy to get around, as public transport is provided. For tourists, there are special buses, or visitors can decide to take one of the walking tours. They are guided by an expert on the historical attractions who will talk in English. These tours must be booked in advance from one of the tourist centers, such as the main one in the Placa Catalunya. The walks generally begin at 10:00.

Walking may not be possible or enjoyed by some, and therefore there are tourist buses that go past the best places in the city. Your time is, however, not restricted at any of the attractions, as you simply get onto the next bus that comes past when you are ready to continue. By bus is one of the best ways to see what the city has to offer. Find out the bus times at the tourist offices.

Parc Guell is considered as one of the main attractions, and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Here the Hundred Columns Room is often visited, where the works of Gaudi are truly fascinating. The La Sagrada Familia and the Casa Vincens are other structures related to Gaudi.

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.

Barcelona's beaches, such as those of Nova Mar Bella, La Barceloneta and Bogatell, are lovely. They stretch for nearly two miles, and have plenty of facilities. Modern attractions also include the Olympic Port, filled with lively entertainment areas, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and shops. It is built under two huge skyscrapers.

The Museo Picasso is perhaps one of the best places to view Barcelona paintings. It has the works of the famous artist Picasso, including some of his ceramic works. Furthermore, you could stop along the Ramblas de Canaletes, where kiosks sell newspapers from all different countries.
