You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya - MNAC and Museu d'Història de Barcelona MUHBA. Museum-lovers will get to explore Casa Vicens and Joan Miro Foundation. Venture out of the city with trips to Tarragona (Ca La Garsa & Catedral Basilica Metropolitana Primada de Tarragona), Beach Castelldelfels Barcelona (in Castelldefels) and La Playa de Sitges (in Sitges). There's much more to do: walk around Parc Guell, admire the landmark architecture of Casa Batllo, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Girona Cathedral, and take a stroll through Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic).
