Barcelona Culture
Barcelona Culture
Barcelona is considered Spain’s avant-garde city in every respect. With creative Art Nouveau architecture, happening cultural centers, fascinating museums, innovative cuisine, concert venues and more, Barcelona is an unbeatable destination for anyone interested in the arts.
ART
Between funky architecture and world-class art museums, Barcelona is a true playground for any art lover. Three of Barcelona's most famous art museums are the MACBA (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art), the MNAC (National Art Museum of Catalonia) and the incredible Picasso Museum, though the city has so many museums - both large and small - that it's almost impossible to count them all.

GASTRONOMY
Bordered by the sea and by the French border, Barcelona boasts a tasty gastronomical scene featuring fresh seafood and produce along with international influences and plenty of vegetarian options. Plus it's only natural that Barcelona, cutting-edge in every respect, be home to numerous creative restaurants and chefs of the "nueva cocina española", an innovative gastronomical deconstruction movement unafraid of breaking the mold and approaching cooking as a true experiment.
FASHION
Famously hip and stylish, Barcelona is the ideal city for any fashion-lover to shop and people-watch. The Barcelona shopping experience includes quirky boutiques, unique designs, national and international fashion houses and more. You can even hop on the T1 bus - the Tombbus - which follows a circular route, taking credit card-toting shoppers from Plaça de Catalunya up the Passeig de Gràcia to Avinguda Diagonal and back again, hitting all the major Barcelona shopping spots along the way.
FESTIVALS
Barcelona, like any other Spanish city, is always up for a good party, so it's not surprise that the city's cultural calendar is teeming with festivals. Learn more: Barcelona Festivals
