Barcelona is a bustling cultural centre and an exciting city to explore. Visitors to Barcelona will love to take in the local architecture and the vibrant atmosphere. Tourists can visit the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar: a 14th-century Gothic cathedral. Those interested in architecture will also enjoy visiting the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia, which was designed in the late 1800s by the well-known Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi.
