One of the main attractions of the city is its varied and spectacular architecture . In Barcelona, ​​a great variety and richness of styles are mixed, from modernism to Gothic.

If we divide the visit by styles, it is important to point out the importance of Modernism and certain architects, whose works have become emblems of Barcelona such as Antoni Gaudí, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Lluís Domènech i Montaner ... In addition to modernism (Parc Güell, Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Palau de la Música, etc.), there are other architectural styles that you can meet on Sundays in Barcelona and be amazed by the greatness of your city, such as Gothic (Gothic Quarter, Born, Cathedral, etc.). ). We recommend taking advantage of the proximity between the styles to follow a route to fully enjoy this wealth.

Visit some museums

Also, museums are also a good plan for Sundays in Barcelona. And it is that the city counts with museum spaces for all preferences, styles, ages, etc.

If you like painting and art, we recommend museums such as the MNAC, where you can find works of art from all eras, the Picasso Museum, the Miró Foundation or the MACBA, where you will find a selection of the best contemporary art of the moment.

On a more varied level, we recommend the Cosmo Caixa (Museum of Science), the Wax Museum, the Olympic and Sports Museum or the Maritime Museum, among others.

If you want to go with children, the options are multiple: the Chocolate Museum, the Magic Museum, the Zoo or the Aquarium. Another good option would be Cosmo Caixa itself, which offers many activities and perfect experiences for the little ones, as well as familiarizing them with science.

Go out for a vermouth

A tradition deeply rooted Sunday noon in Catalonia is to take the vermouth -licor appetizer- accompanied by some rich olives or some other tapa. The truth is that this tradition is taking much force lately, so many bars and taverns in Barcelona have specialized in it.

In addition to going out to drink a vermouth in a bar near your home and having a chat with neighbors and friends, we recommend visiting some of the vermouth temples, the most renowned establishments in Barcelona for this drink, although the best option is to go to enjoy the pedestrian zones and the unique environments that this city offers. We recommend areas such as Ciutadella and Marina, El Born or Barceloneta, where you can find many bars and unique places to enjoy a good vermouth.

Stroll along the beach or the park

Any season of the year is good to go for a walk along the Barcelonian beach and it is that the mild climate of the Catalan coast allows it. In fact, outside of the summer season will be when you can enjoy all the beaches of Barcelona, ​​away from the crowds of bathers. An ideal plan early in the morning, but especially at sunset where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The area of ​​Barceloneta and Bogatell are perfect to go for a drink while enjoying spectacular views.
