Things to do in Barcelona City Centre

The city’s most renowned landmark, Gaudi’s La Sagrada Família, is a must-see on your itinerary whilst visiting Barcelona. If you want to explore the interior or take in the views from the top, then consider booking in advance to avoid the queues. Gaudi’s second most popular creation is the Unesco-listed Park Güell, overlooking the whole city. Whether you’re a fan of art or not, the Museu Picasso (Picasso Museum) is also well worth a visit.

Spend a day or two walking around the city’s streets, particularly the famous Las Ramblas and the medieval streets of the gothic quarter. Stop off at the Mercat de Boqueria market for tapas or to pick up some local delicacies. Finally, take a trip to the Maritime Museum, where you can see impressive fishing vessels and full-scale replicas of ancient ships.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
