3. Barcelona´s beaches

After a morning of strolling through the city and looking at Gaudi’s masterpieces there is nothing better than some relax time at the beach. While your kids take a swim in the Mediterranean Sea, you can enjoy an ice cold sangria at one of the chiringuitos (beach clubs). The beach of Vila Olimpica is one of the best family friendly beaches of the city because it has a big playground. For the older kids there are many possibilities to do water sport like surfing and stand-up-paddle.

 

4. Tibidabo

 

It´s hard to miss. Barcelona´s highest mountain, the Tibidabo, is visible from everywhere in the city. Besides the Catadral de Santa Cor the Tibidabo also is home to the Tibidabo Amusement Park. Don´t expect trilling rollercoasters and the newest inventions; Tibidabo Amusement Park was founded in 1889 and some of the attractions are not much younger than that. Tibidabo is definitely worth a visit! Enjoy the breathtaking view over the city, sea and Catalonia´s inland in the park´s most stand-out attraction and world’s first flight simulator Avió (Catalan for plane) or at the top of the Catadral.

 

5. CosmaCaixa

Looking for something to do on one of Barcelona´s extremely hot summer days? CosmoCaixa is your place to be! This indoor science museum is air-conditioned and for that reason a great place to visit if you are in need of cooling down. CosmoCaixa is designed to stimulate people´s knowledge of science through interactive exhibitions and fun activities. Explore the “The Flooded Forest”, a recreation of an Amazon rainforest. Or travel through time and space at the Planetarium, where 3D movies explain you the laws of the universe.
