Mood Rooftop Bar

Contemporary luxury in Barcelona's golden mile

With a privileged location in the city’s most exclusive area, The One Barcelona is a new 5*GL hotel with a sophisticated interior design that breathes elegance and distinction. The use of soft tones, with some splashes of colour provided by works of art and upholsteries, natural light and fine materials such as special marble and wood, all play an important role, creating an atmosphere of timeless luxury. The project was executed in collaboration with prestigious designer Jaime Beriestain. The establishment offers large, bright rooms, the Somni Restaurant & Cocteleria, the Despacio Spa at The One, a plunge pool exclusively for guests on the top floor, and the impressive Mood Rooftop Bar, with panoramic views of the city.

One of the best hotels! All staff are friendly are very helpful Will be coming again I would also like to thank Ms Meryem Dechraoui for her help

Love the hotel, location was perfect, The corner suite that we had was very well appointed. What put your hotel over the top for me husband celebrating 31st wedding anniversary, your staff. The minute we pulled up to check in it was very welcoming, We greet it with smiles. From the doorman to the Bellhops five stars Check-in was wonderful Put the cherry on the top was your concierge Raul he took care of us like we were family. I highly highly recommend this hotel. But when you go, please Ask for Raul and you will understand what Im talking about. We cant wait to return.

We stayed in room 808. The room is much more spacious than other 5 star hotels we considered. The hotel is beautiful and very comfortable, and every single member of the staff was friendly, helpful, and impeccably trained. The included breakfast was superb. We are very happy with our stay, and I am sure we will return!

In no particular order - this place has it all. Sumptuous rooms, great food, lovely rooftop terrace and bar, excellent staff and a perfect location. Its posh but not too posh. Luxury but not stuffy. And somehow the whole place smelt amazing, like a spa. And yes it has a spa too! If we ever come back to Barcelona we are definitely staying here.

Pets allowed, oyster hotel review, a modern, posh boutique with a heavy eye for design and scenic rooftop areas.

Elegance, style, and natural light are all big factors in the design of The One Barcelona. Neutral tones -- with some pleasant pops of blue in seating and contemporary artwork -- modern furniture, and luxe materials all combine for an overall tone that's sophisticated and upscale, though the vibe remains casual and welcoming. Expect canvas folding chairs, marble floors, metallic accents, and tons of floor-to-ceiling windows to soak in views of the city center. The most attractive spot to take in the vistas during warmer months is the rooftop lounge and infinity pool. This luxury boutique ticks a lot of boxes, especially for being a city hotel, and it's a good option for both couples and families on vacation. 

City-center location within walking distance of several tourist hot spots and public transportation

The One Barcelona has a stellar location for travelers who want to be within walking distance to several main arteries in the heart of the city. This tourist-heavy spot is not for everyone, but it's great for walkers on a mission. Gaudi's Casa Mila is a block away, as is Passeig de Gracia. Plus, visitors can walk to Placa de Catalunya in 15 minutes. Other nearby hot spots include Casa Batllo (eight minutes on foot), La Sagrada Familia (16 minutes), and the top of Las Ramblas (20 minutes). The closest Metro station is at Passeig de Gracia, a seven-minute walk away. El Prat Airport (BCN) is about a 15-minute drive or hour-long public transit journey away. 

Sleek, sophisticated rooms with marble bathrooms and modern technology; some with balconies

The One Barcelona's 88 rooms and suites are sophisticated with their neutral color palettes, gold metal accents and fixtures, and original contemporary artworks. However, it's worth noting that several rooms open directly into the bathroom, making for an unusual layout that can be hit or miss with guests. Additionally, rooms on lower floors are more subject to street noise. On the plus side, all rooms come with minibars, pillow-top mattresses with Egyptian cotton sheets, and Natura Bisse, Barcelona toiletries. Technology includes 55-inch SMART TVs with media hubs and international channels, AC, electronic blackout curtains, Nespresso machines, and USB charging outlets. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in a good amount of natural light, though, as a city hotel, many views are of neighboring buildings. Marble bathrooms feel luxe and contemporary thanks to sleek in-mirror lighting, rainfall showers, and comfy bathrobes. 

Upgrading to a Junior Suite adds a stylish sitting area with a sofa bed, freestanding soaking tub, and openable windows. Junior Suite Corner rooms have a slightly different layout consisting of a partial wall divider between the sitting and sleeping areas, two walls of windows for double the view, and two TVs. Balconies are available starting with the Grand Terrace Deluxe, which also has Bluetooth speakers and excellent views over the city, though they lack tubs. Suite Barcelona has a separate living room space and soaking tub. Further suite upgrades include spacious terraces with loungers, whirlpools, and showers. Many rooms and suites connect to create a larger spaces that are convenient for families or friends traveling together. 

Seasonal rooftop pool and bar, excellent Mediterranean restaurant, and small spa

From May to October, the hotel's seasonal rooftop pool and terrace bar are big hits. The panoramic rooftop views over the city are big draws for both locals and guests alike, but sunbeds are few at the narrow infinity pool. Despacio Spa at The One is open year-round and features two treatment rooms, a Finnish sauna, relaxation area with a heated plunge pool, and a small but decent 24-hour gym. Guests can use the facilities for free, aside from treatment cabins. 

The casual Somni Restaurant gets excellent reviews for its Mediterranean cuisine and tapas, available for all three meals and order 24-hour room service. A cocktail and wine bar provide a classy but laid-back space for sipping mixologist-crafted cocktails and nibbling on tapas. 

The hotel has two interior meeting rooms with natural light and various setup options, and the Mood Bar is available for outdoor events on a seasonal basis. Freebies include property-wide Wi-Fi, use of the spa facilities, and a dedicated luxury concierge service. Valet parking and laundry service are available for a fee.

The One Barcelona

An amazing location, great service and the two top suites make The One a strong contender in Barcelona. While the design isn’t always top notch the overall comfort and quality is very good, especially for a first-time visit and busy itinerary in the city.

Stay at The One Barcelona

the one barcelona travel weekly

From a private jacuzzi you look across Barcelona rooftops to the spires of La Sagrada Familia. The soft sounds of city bustle rise up from eight floors below. Head inside, through your black marble bathroom. Now there is silence and you explore the vast library of art and architecture books in your suite. This is The One and you feel like the one with such a privileged location in the city. From the outside it doesn’t look like the most stylish hotel in Barcelona, but there’s a lot to love about The One, not only the iconic Terrace Suite Sagrada Familia and excellent service.

The best city location in Barcelona, between Gaudi’s La Pedrera and La Sagrada Familia. The One is on a quiet crossroads that’s only one block from Passeig de Gracia and two blocks from La Rambla. It’s the area with Barcelona’s best shopping and restaurants, with the beach less than ten minutes away by taxi.

We’d skip the entry-level Cosy and Cosy Barcelona rooms, as they’re a little small and some of the furnishings feel cheap. Go for at least a Junior Suite or Grand Deluxe Terrace instead. Ideally, go for one of the two premium suites with terraces on the eighth floor. The Terrace Suite Sagrada Familia has a jacuzzi with an incredible view to Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece. The Penthouse Suite is 120 square metres and has a kitchen, along with a jacuzzi and terrace.

Who is it for

Ideal if it’s your first visit to Barcelona because many of the most iconic sights are within walking distance. Perfect if you want to go shopping in Barcelona as well. Families can make use of the interconnecting rooms, including good options to combine two high-category suites.

Facilities & activities

The spa is small and clean, likewise the rooftop pool. We experienced superb service here, above the level we expected. Although, we didn’t think much of the ground-floor restaurant, especially when the area has so many amazing places to dine.

The One Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain

You'll find yourself best placed to discover Barcelona's art and heritage along with the city's golden mile of architecture and shopping.

By Elite Traveler

the one barcelona travel weekly

The One Barcelona could not be closer to the action. It sits just a block away from Casa Mila and the main shopping street Passeig de Gracia, but is a remarkably quiet and serene experience. You’ll find yourself best placed to discover Barcelona’s art and heritage along with the city’s golden mile of architecture and shopping. The project was lead by Chilean interior designer Jaime Beriestain with a clear focus on elegance. The neutral tones, beautiful light and stunning combinations of marble and woodwork creates an atmosphere of serious luxury. The eighty-eight chic rooms (53 rooms and 25 suites) follow the calm yet glamorous aesthetic of the hotel.

The Penthouse

From $1,695 per night The Penthouse is a beautiful example of a city suite thanks to its large terrace that offers superb views over the rooftops. Your very own Jacuzzi is a welcome addition and a great spot to soak up the last of the sunshine after a day of exploring. Inside, there are subtle touches that feel luxurious and considered such as the sumptuous suede sofas, natural wood furnishings and brass fittings. Not forgetting the Natura Bissé toiletries which are a real treat.

If you can pull yourself out of your private Jacuzzi, the Despacio Spa is the perfect spot to regroup. Like the restaurant, it focuses on local traditions and uses locally-produced oils. The menu offers effective and original treatments for many concerns. The Fire & Ice treatment, acclaimed as one of Hollywood’s red-carpet treatments, ensures immediate results for all skin types.

The Somni Restaurant & Cocteleria cleverly combines traditional cuisine of Barcelona with subtle international touches using locally-sourced ingredients. Executive Chef Miguel Muñoz combines two of his passions; art and cooking to curate the ‘Through the Seasons’ Menu. Every dish on the menu began life as a sketch on his notepad before being brought to life on a plate. If you prefer to head for a cocktail first, the bar is ideal for enjoying lighter dishes accompanied by a signature cocktail or three.

The roof terrace is an impressive surprise and has views of one of Spain’s most famous landmarks: La Sagrada Familia, the chimneys of La Pedrera (another Gaudi masterpiece), Jean Nouvel’s Torre Glòries and the natural masterpiece, the Mediterranean Sea. The small pool deck is a gem that can only be used by the hotel’s guests. The Mood Rooftop Bar, however, is open to guests outside the hotel which adds a welcome buzz.

If we were to rank the most touristy European cities , Barcelona would certainly be right up there alongside Florence, London , and Rome , for example.

And if there’s one must-see attraction everyone wants to visit during their one-week stay in Barcelona , it’s undoubtedly the Sagrada Familia! Every day, hundreds of people wait sometimes for hours to enter.

Well, that’s because they haven’t followed my advice!😋

There are actually 3 ways to skip lines at the most popular sites and save a lot of time during your one week trip to Barcelona.

And I am going to tell you all about it right away!

To make the most of your one week stay in Barcelona, your first option is to buy the the Barcelona City Pass .

Getting the Barcelona City Pass allows you not only to skip the queue, but also to save a lot of money !

You need to purchase it in advance online , as all skip-the-line tickets are sent to you by email . It’s super convenient, as you’ll then just have to show them on your smartphone at the entrance of the tourist attractions.

Another advantage of the Barcelona City Pass is that it has no time limit . Once activated, you can use it for your entire stay in Barcelona.

If you’re looking for the most complete and convenient pass for visiting Barcelona in a week, the Barcelona City Pass is what you need!

Here are the best visits included:

  • Sagrada Familia skip-the-line ticket: during the purchase, you’ll be asked to choose a date and time for your visit. It’s mandatory to as you will need to opt for a time slots.
  • A skip-the-line ticket for Park Güell. You’ll be asked for the date and time of your visit for the park too.
  • A ticket for the hop-on hop-off bus
  • An audioguide, to learn about more than 100 points of interest in the city
  • Discounts on attractions and certain museums: those for Casa Batlló and Casa Milà are especially useful! A 10% discount code will be sent to you after purchasing the Barcelona City Pass. You will then need to book your visits on the same site to use the promo code.

To purchase your Barcelona City Pass, simply click the green button below:

2. Skip-the-Line Tickets for Barcelona Tourist Attractions

The second solution to get priority access at Barcelona’s must-see attractions is to purchase skip-the-line tickets one by one , for each visit you want to do.

You will find tickets online for  the most museums and monuments  as well as  guided visits and  activities. 

By purchasing them using these links,  you are 100% sure to get the official tickets.

To check the prices and to book, just  click   on the links below  (you’ll also find them throughout the article):

  • Casa Batlló
  • Gaudi’s 3 Houses Pass
  • Flamenco Show
  • Sant Pau Recinte Modernista
  • Sagrada Familia skip-the-line
  • Sagrada Familia guided tour in English
  • Barcelona Museum Pass
  • Montjuic Cable Car
  • Palau de la Musica Catalana
  • Hop-on Hop-off Tourist Bus

The last option for your 7 days in Barcelona is to purchase the Barcelona Card . However, I will only mention it briefly as it’s not the best choice.

This card allows you to use public transport for free and gives you discounts at city museums like the Picasso Museum.

With the itinerary I propose, the cost of the Barcelona card won’t be recovered , as it’s not necessary to frequently use the bus or metro. I’ve intentionally grouped certain visits together so you don’t have to walk too much!

And if you want to take the bus/metro, it’s cheaper to get the 10-trip pass sold at machines at the entrance of metro stations.

The Barcelona Card also doesn’t include fast-track access to the most visited places like the Sagrada Familia.

If this 7-8 day trip to Barcelona is your first time in the city , I recommend you to get either the Barcelona City Pass or purchasing skip-the-line tickets one by one.

However, if you’re already familiar with the city and its must-sees, and your plan is focused on the museums , feel free to click on the following green button to see if the Barcelona Card suits you:

If you already know your travel dates (or as soon as you will have them!) , you should really book your accommodation.

As Barcelona is one of the most touristic cities in the world , the hotels offering the best value for money are often fully booked months in advance.

As a seasoned traveler, I can assure you that it’s always by planning as far in advance as possible that I’ve found the best hotels or apartments deals.

You agree that it would be a shame to somewhat ruin your stay in Barcelona by ending up in a not-so-great hotel that costed you a fortune, right? 😅

So your best bet is to take 5 minutes now to have a look at  traveler’s favorite hotels in Barcelona.

And if you like one of the hotels you find, book it!

It’s fast, it’s easy and most accommodation offer free cancellation. That’s the best way to protect yourself from the inconvenience of finding nothing but mediocre rooms at exorbitant prices.

So, How to visit Barcelona in 7 days?

Day 1 – The Historic Center of Barcelona

One week in Barcelona Itinerary day 1

Day 1 visits:

A. The Cathedral of Saint Eulalia and the Gothic Quarter B. La Rambla C. Boqueria Market D. Casa Batlló E. Casa Milà F. Flamenco show

The Gothic Quarter of Barcelona is the perfect first stop to start a one-week journey in Barcelona.

Locally known as the “Barrio Gòtico,” this quarter is one of the most famous and visited areas of the city. It’s a lovely medieval district and also the historical center of the capital.

Here, you can’t miss the imposing Cathedral of Saint Eulalia, a gothic wonder. I recommend visiting as it’s very interesting.

If you get the chance, also try not to miss the artistic performances (including Sardana dances) that take place every Saturday at 6 PM and Sunday at 11 AM in the cathedral square.

In the Gothic Quarter, you can also stroll around and discover the labyrinth of alleyways , admiring along the way:

  • Plaça Sant Jaume
  • Plaça del Rei (King’s Square)
  • Barcelona History Museum
  • Plaça del Pi.

If you wish to, you can also start your trip to Barcelona with a guided tour.

It’s a great way to get a first impression of the city !

You can opt for the traditional walking tour, or go for something more fun, like a tuktuk, Segway or GoCar tour. Simply click on the links below for more information and to book:

  • Walking tour of the Old Town and Gothic Quarter to discover the places I’ve just mentioned, such as Sant Jaume and the Plaça del Rei.
  • Guided tour of Barcelona by bike or E-bike. This tour is super comprehensive, as you’ll discover 25 must-see sites such as Ciutadella Park and the Sagrada Familia.
  • Visit Barcelona by electric tuk tuk
  • Visit Barcelona by GoCar with integrated GPS
  • Segway tour

And if you’re looking for an exceptional experience as soon as you arrive in the city, I’d definitely recommend a helicopter flight! You’ll have the chance to see the impressive Sagrada Familia from above 😎

Click here to book your helicopter flight in Barcelona.

Cathedral of Saint Eulalia in Barcelona

You may have already heard of La Rambla, the grand pedestrian avenue in Barcelona that connects the port to Plaça de Catalunya . You can reach it in just 10 minutes on foot from the Barrio Gotico.

La Rambla is a must during a one-week stay in Barcelona. It’s very lively, hosts numerous street artists and is lined with restaurants, shops, and cafes .

For this journey, I suggest you first walk down towards the port.

On the way, you should see:

  • Gran Teatre del Liceu (the city’s oldest theater)
  • Joan Miró mosaic
  • Plaça Reial.

Then head back towards Plaça Catalunya. En route you can see the Canaletes fountain and Palau de la Virreina with its temporary exhibitions.

las ramblas

Along La Rambla, you’ll also find the famous Boqueria Market with its entrance marked by a grand Art Deco archway.

It’s a picturesque market, the oldest in the city.

I suggest taking a tour to discover and taste Catalan specialties , tapas, and fresh fruit. The market is often crowded, except in the morning between 8 AM and 10 AM when it’s calmer.

Do you enjoy slightly unusual guided tours ?

Then you can choose the special market tour accompanied by a chef who then prepares tapas and paella to share right in front of you.

Book directly by clicking here!

Boqueria Market

Continue the tour by now heading to Passeig de Gracia . This street is a 5-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya.

I’m taking you here to guide you to one of the major attractions of Barcelona: Casa Batlló, a masterpiece by Antoni Gaudí.

This symbol of Barcelona is recognized for its very unique architecture full of curves, characteristic of Gaudí’s work. This villa is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and it’s open for interior visits as well.

Avoid the never-ending queue at Casa Batlló’s entrance by purchasing your ticket in advance.

Don’t forget that with the Barcelona City Pass you received a promo code for 10% off, also valid for visiting Casa Batlló through Tiqets’ website.

Casa Batlló

Next, I suggest continuing your tour along Passeig de Gracia, heading a little further north.

In 6-7 minutes, you’ll arrive in front of another villa conceived by Gaudí: Casa Milà . Equally essential as the last, Casa Milà features a striking white facade with flowing lines.

Here too, you should visit the interior to immerse yourself in the architect’s genius across the building’s 5 different floors.

And at the very top on the villa’s rooftop terrace , you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire district.

Here as well , remember to purchase your Casa Milà entry ticket on Tiqets and take advantage of the discount you get with your Barcelona City Pass.

For an unusual visit , choose a nighttime entry ticket. The night tour starts at 9 PM and includes audiovisual projections with a complimentary glass of Champagne.

You can purchase this nighttime entry ticket by clicking here .

casa mila

What better way to end your first day in Barcelona than by attending a flamenco show?

Performances take place year-round in the city’s tablaos , intimate venues where you can eat, have a drink, and enjoy musical performances.

I especially recommend “Los Tarantos”, one of the oldest and most famous tablaos in the city. It’s located on Plaça Reia, very close to the Rambla.

You can book your flamenco evening simply by clicking here!

If tickets are sold out, here are some other places to see a flamenco show during your stay in Barcelona (click on the orange links to book):

  • City Hall, in the theater of Barcelona City Hall
  • At the tablao Flamenco Cordobes, in Rambla district
  • Tablao de Carmen, located in Poble Espanyol district.

What to Do and See in Barcelona on the Second Day?

A week in Barcelona Itinerary day 2

Visits for Day 2:

A. Park Güell B. Bunkers del Carmel C. Recinta Modernista de Sant Pau D. Sagrada Familia E. El Born District

After a good night’s sleep, I suggest you start this second day with a stroll in Park Güell.

Also born from the imagination of Antoni Gaudí , it was built in the early 1900s. It represents another major and iconic work of the architect in Barcelona.

Park Güell is located to the north of the city and is divided into two sections . One part is free while the other has an entrance fee.

In the paid area (called “Monumental”), you’ll be able to admire famous works by Gaudí including a serpentine bench covered in mosaic , a salamander, and tree trunk-shaped columns.

I recommend getting there early in the morning to have enough time to visit everything at a leisurely pace.

To get to Park Güell, take line 3 of the metro and get off at Vallcarca.

Access to the park is included in the Barcelona City Pass, otherwise you can also get your skip-the-line ticket right here.

You should really book in advance because there is a limited number of entries each day.

To make sure you don’t miss any of the park’s best spots, you can also opt for a guided walking tour organized by Barcelona’s tourist office . You’ll find all the information you need and be able to book by clicking here!

Barcelona

After spending the morning in the park, I now suggest you head to Bunkers del Carmel , about a 20-minute walk away .

It’s one of the best viewpoints in Barcelona with a 360° view over the entire city.

This former anti-aircraft base set at an altitude of 262 meters is located on Turo de la Rovira. Access is free and open to all.

For example, you might want to bring a picnic and lunch up there to have a pleasant time and recharge!

bunkers del carmel

In a 30-minute walk, proceed to Recinta Modernista de Sant Pau.

This former public hospital now hosts exhibitions and it’s possible to visit the various buildings that tell the story of the place.

But it’s already worth a look just for its architecture and facade!

Entry tickets are available here, if you’re tempted by the visit.

recinte modernista de sant pau

It’s the ultimate emblem of the Catalan capital and the city’s flagship monument: Sagrada Familia is unmissable during your 7-day circuit in Barcelona.

A masterpiece by Gaudí, this spectacular basilica is the most visited monument in Spain . It’s listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and embodies a luxurious blend of Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture.

Don’t forget that your Barcelona City Pass grants you priority entry to Sagrada Familia. Just that is a good enough reason to buy it!

Otherwise, without the Pass, a skip-the-line ticket is mandatory to avoid spending hours in line. You can purchase it here.

And of course, if you would like to find out more about the history of this impressive monument , I recommend you to book a guided tour of the Sagrada Familia by clicking here.

Sagrada Familia

As the day comes to an end, I suggest winding down in the El Born neighborhood .

This quaint medieval district , along with the Gothic Quarter, forms Barcelona’s old town . It’s also a very trendy area where you can enjoy a pleasant evening at one of the fashionable tapas bars or restaurants .

Other things to do in the El Born district:

  • Admiring the Gothic churches
  • Visiting the Picasso Museum
  • Visiting the Palau de la Musica (one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world!).
  • Discover the MOCO museum , dedicated to contemporary art. There, you can especially admire works by Banksy and Andy Warhol.
  • Enjoy a tasting of 5 Catalan and Spanish wines.

Day 3 – Barcelona’s Points of Interest to Visit

One week in Barcelona Itinerary day 3

Visits for day 3:

A. Plaça Espanya B. The MNAC C. Montjuic Park D. The Olympic installations E. Montjuic Castle F. Plaça Espanya and the Magic Fountain

For this third day of your one-week itinerary in Barcelona, head over to Plaça Espanya.

Constructed in 1929, it was designed by another great Spanish architect: Puig y Cadafalch . It’s somewhat the Barcelona equivalent of Place de l’Étoile and it’s the starting point for today’s other visits .

This square is also surrounded by several buildings and convention halls, including “Las Arenas,” a former bullring converted into a shopping center.

 You should definitely go to the rooftop terrace of Las Arenas to enjoy the exceptional view.

Plaça Espanya Barcelona

You can find the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) just across from Plaça Espanya. It’s one of the largest museums in Spain and one of the richest in Barcelona.

It houses the world’s largest collection of Romanesque art.

It takes about 15 minutes on foot to get there, passing by the Magic Fountain (which I’ll talk about for the evening).

On Saturdays after 3 PM and the first Sunday of each month, the entry to the MNAC is free.

With the Barcelona City Pass , you can enjoy a discount for your MNAC entrance ticket by clicking directly here.

If you plan on visiting other museums during these 5 days in Barcelona, you might prefer to buy the Barcelona Museum Pass which gives you access to the 6 main museums of the city.

To purchase directly click the button below:

MNAC Barcelona

After this cultural visit, it should be time for lunch.

Thus, I suggest going for a picnic in Montjuic Park , the main green space in Barcelona where locals usually come to exercise and get some fresh air on weekends or after work.

This park is situated up high, perched on Montjuic hill and can be reached by funicular ( Return ticket for the cable car here. ).

Divided into several gardens, the park also includes some historical monuments and museums:

  • The Police Museum
  • The Modern Art Museum
  • The Olympic Museum
  • The Joan Miró Foundation.

Montjuic hill

The Barcelona Olympics took place in 1992 and the city has preserved many of the installations built for the event.

I now suggest going to see the Olympic installations located within Montjuic’s Olympic Park, near the gardens.

Here are some sites you can see:

  • The Olympic Stadium
  • The Palau Sant Jordi
  • The Calatrava Tower
  • Barcelona’s Sports Palace
  • The Pavilion of Industrial Spain.

Olympic Park Barcelona

Stay in Montjuic and end your afternoon with a visit to the castle , which is open every day from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Constructed in 1640, Montjuic Castle is a must-visit when you have the chance to spend a week in Barcelona. It has in the past served to protect the city from Catalan rebels , was then transformed into a prison , and finally into a military museum in the 1960s.

The visit is very interesting and you’ll be able to enjoy a beautiful panorama of Barcelona’s coastline from the heights.

This third day in Barcelona is already drawing to a close.

It’s time to dine at one of the delicious tapas bars on Plaça Espanya.

After dinner, find a spot in front of the Magic Fountain and enjoy the sound and light show that happens every evening, from Wednesday to Sunday (starting at 8 PM from November to March, and from 9 PM from April to October).

This show lasts about an hour and always draws a large crowd.

Day 4 Itinerary: Stroll Through Barcelona

One week in Barcelona Itinerary day 4

Visits for day 4:

A. Port Vell B. Passeig Maritim C. Olympic Port D. Ciutadella Park E. Santa Maria del Mar Basilica

Continue your week-long journey in Barcelona with a visit to Port Vell (which means “Old Port”).

As its name suggests, it’s the city’s oldest port and offers a pleasant stroll, especially along the charming Moll de la Fusta (Wood Quay).

You will also find the Rambla de Mar, a floating walkway leading to the port’s shopping center for any shopping desires. You can also enjoy the walk to climb to the top of the Columbus Monument or visit the Barcelona Aquarium .

From the port, you can also board a golondrina for a mini cruise around the harbor. Book here.

Catamaran cruises (during the day or at sunset) are also available if you’d like to enjoy a moment of relaxation while admiring beautiful views over the city . Click here to book!

port de barcelone

Continue your morning by walking along Passeig Maritim from Port Vell and stroll along the coast.

This 5 km-long coastal promenade runs alongside Barcelona’s beaches and, in summer, invites you to stop at the prettiest ones for a picnic and/or swim.

If you’re a sports enthusiast keen to learn more about the 1992 Olympic Games , you should then stop at Parc del Mar , home to other Olympic facilities including the Barcelona Olympic Port and the Mar Bella Pavilion.

Then, visit Ciutadella Park.

Dating back to 1888, this vast park offers a great opportunity for a breath of fresh air, a boat ride on the lake, and features several places of interest:

  • The Arc de Triomf
  • Barcelona Zoo
  • The Museum of Modern Art
  • The Seat of the Catalan Parliament.

If you’re planning to visit the zoo with your family, you can save money by booking one of these Passes online (click on the links to book):

  • Barcelona Family Pass with: zoo entry + one-hour harbor cruise + skip-the-line entry to the wax museum
  • Zoo and Aquarium Pack with: zoo entry + aquarium ticket + a ride on Barcelona’s port cable car.

parc de la ciutadella barcelone

To finish off this fourth day, I recommend a visit to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar.

This Gothic basilica is located in the historic El Born district . It’s very impressive both inside and out, and even more beautiful at night when it’s all lit up.

From the Terraces (paid access), you can enjoy a magnificent view over the entire area.

For the evening , you can choose between one of these 3 activities I’ve selected for you:

  • A guided tour of the best Tapas in Barcelona who will take you to several small local bars to sample 8 courses of tapas, accompanied by a drink at each stop
  • A pub crawl with complimentary drinks + VIP club entry to a nightclub
  • A ghost-themed tour where you’ll walk through the Gothic Quarter with a guide who’ll tell you lots of spooky, supernatural stories.

santa maria del mar basilica barcelona

Spend a week in Barcelona and you’ll have time to get out of the city to explore its surroundings.

In 4 days, you should have seen the main attractions of the Catalan capital. That’s why for this fifth day, I recommend a trip to PortAventura, a must-visit destination near Barcelona.

PortAventura is the largest amusement park in Spain and indeed in the whole Southern Europe.

Located just over an hour’s drive from Barcelona (by train or car).

To visit Port Aventura without a car, the easiest is to book a full-day excursion including roundtrip transportation.

Book here your 12-hour day-trip which includes round-trip transportation from Barcelona by bus and a skip-the-line ticket:

port aventura

For this sixth day, I suggest another “day-trip” around the Catalan capital, this time to the Montserrat mountains.

Again, this is a must-visit destination near Barcelona, a place where you can recharge and enjoy the peace after the hustle and bustle of the city and the thrill rides.

The Montserrat Mountains are both a Benedictine monastery (with a beautiful abbey worth visiting), a nature reserve , and a sanctuary for Catalan culture and art . You can enjoy lovely visits as well as beautiful walks.

What to do in Montserrat:

  • Visit Montserrat Abbey
  • Explore artworks by Caravaggio, Fortuny, Rusiñol, Picasso, Dali, and many others.
  • Admire the Black Madonna
  • Hike in nature
  • Taste the local liqueurs.

This organized tour includes round-trip train transportation from Barcelona , a visit to the monastery , and the Montserrat museum with audio guide.

Montserrat Abbey

Your one-week itinerary in Barcelona is coming to an end, and I have saved a fantastic excursion for your last day: a dreamy day on the Costa Brava!

The Costa Brava, located in the northern part of Catalonia, is one of the most famous and renowned Spanish coasts.

For this seventh day, I suggest you book a day-trip that includes a boat tour as well as the discovery of the idyllic villages of Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar.

This day-trip includes coach transport and a guide. It can be reserved by clicking on the button below:

And for the more adventurous , you have another option to discover the Costa Brava: a kayak tour that also includes snorkeling (lasting 8 hours).

Suitable for up to 12 people, this package includes transfers to Costa Brava, a kayak tour, and a snorkeling session.

Equipment is provided and lunch is included.

Book directly below:

After all this information on how to visit Barcelona in one week, it’s time to tackle the question of your accommodation!

When you’re not familiar with the city, it’s not always easy to know where to stay and to sift through the multitude of available accommodations.

Therefore, I have selected a short list of the best hotels to stay in Barcelona, based on your budget:

  • Hostel One Ramblas: This hostel is located in the center of Barcelona. Dormitory beds start from €33 with dinner included. Strong points: the atmosphere, the price. A great choice if you’re visiting Barcelona on a budget.
  • Hotel Grums Barcelona: Located next to Montjuic hill and 600m from Las Ramblas. Elegant and bright rooms starting from €134. Strong points: the spa with jacuzzi and sauna, room design, great location. It’s one of my favorite hotels in Barcelona for its excellent value for money!
  • Ohla Barcelona: Perfectly located luxury hotel in Barcelona, between the Cathedral and the Plaza Catalunya, and 200 meters from the metro. This 5-star hotel offers contemporary and comfortable double rooms starting at €325 per night, breakfast included. Strong points: the beauty of the establishment both outside and inside, the rooftop pool with breathtaking views, the 3 gourmet restaurants. This is definitely the perfect choice for a romantic stay in the heart of Barcelona.
  • W Barcelona: The iconic Barcelona hotel is located in the Barceloneta district. Luxurious and well-equipped double rooms starting at €363. Strong points: the views, the two swimming pools, the facilities, the restaurants. Undoubtedly the most famous hotel in Barcelona!
  • Hotel Arts Barcelona: 5-star hotel located in the Olympic Port district, 250 meters from the beach and 300 meters from Ciutadella Park. Design and ultra-spacious double rooms starting from €670 per night, breakfast included. Strong points: the 2-Michelin-star restaurant, the outdoor pool with panoramic views, the design, and the contemporary art collection. This is my recommendation for a luxury stay in Barcelona!

If these hotels are fully booked for the dates of your trip to Barcelona, or if they do not meet your needs, I have prepared a broader selection in my other article.

My suggestions are categorized by neighborhoods and price to make it easy for you to find what you’re looking for.

Olympic Port District Hotel Arts Barcelona

Are you heading to Barcelona for a week with your family? Wondering how to adapt the trip for children?

Don’t worry, the Catalan capital is a destination suitable for all ages and is particularly well-suited for a family holiday.

To help you plan your trip better for your family, below are some additional visits to include in your itinerary if you plan to visit Barcelona for 7 days with your children:

  • Poble Espanyol: this visit, for example, could replace a museum visit that might not be suitable for younger children (such as the MNAC). Poble Espanyol is a life-sized artificial village, representing the different types of Spanish houses from various regions. Located near the Magic Fountain, the site is explored on foot and is a fun experience that children always enjoy.
  • Tibidabo Amusement Park: this park is situated on the outskirts of the city, atop Barcelona’s highest peak. It is suitable for children aged 6 and over and provides a fun-filled afternoon for the whole family.

Not to mention of course all the visits already included in the one-week itinerary in Barcelona that are perfectly suitable for a family holiday:

  • Ciutadella Park (near El Born district): a beautiful green space ideal for a family picnic, including a fantastic playground for children.
  • PortAventura: this huge amusement park near Barcelona is of course an essential destination for a day of family fun.
  • Strolling down La Rambla
  • Flamenco shows
  • Barcelona’s most beautiful viewpoints (Bunkers del Carmel, Mirador de Violai, roof of Basilica Santa Maria del Mar, terraces of Montjuic Castle, rooftop terrace of Las Arenas)
  • Montjuic Park
  • The Magic Fountain show.

This 7-day Barcelona sightseeing plan is quite comprehensive, but if you still have more time or want to explore other places, you will find more ideas in my detailed travel guide.

My dedicated article on Barcelona can be found right here: The ultimate guide to visiting Barcelona.

To help you visualize your itineraries during these 7 days in Barcelona, I have created a map listing the places to visit day by day . You can display the legend of the map by clicking the button at the top left with a small arrow. This will let you view routes for each day.

As prices of flights to Barcelona can vary greatly, it’s a smart idea to compare them as early as possible. To do this, you can use our flight comparator, in partnership with Skyscanner. This is the way to ensure the best fares.

Delta Air Lines released its second annual most-searched summer destinations for 2024 — and these international travel stops appear to be top of mind. 

The major airline revealed the top 10 international summer destinations that travelers searched for the most — from Nov. 1, 2023, to March 18, 2024 — in order to to compile this list. 

A spokesperson for Delta Air Lines told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that searches for the top 10 spots increased, stressing the continued interest in travel abroad. 

"This year’s data shows the strong interest in international destinations from our customers with searches to these top 10 cities up more than 150% compared to last year," the spokesperson said.

Although a high percentage, the number is down 3% from summer 2023. 

Travel experts also noted that nearly 52% of Americans will fly to their destination, but 75% of Americans will plan at least one road trip as well.

For those looking to travel during peak summer months, such as June, July and August, six-year flight attendant Bernice Padilla told SWNS that she recommends aiming for May or September instead.

"May and September are great months to travel as they’re before and after peak summer here in the U.S.," she said. 

Padilla noted that these tend to be in the "shoulder" seasons and have fewer travel demands with fewer crowds and "more affordable prices."

Carlos Alcaraz plays a shot

Carlos Alcaraz’s hold on Madrid Open ends with loss to Rublev

  • Home hope beaten 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in quarter-final
  • No 1 men’s seed Jannik Sinner pulls out with hip injury

Carlos Alcaraz’s hopes of becoming the first player to win three straight Madrid Open titles came undone as the second seed was beaten in front of his home crowd 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 by the Russian seventh seed, Andrey Rublev, in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old two-time grand slam champion was not at his best despite taking the opening set in 41 minutes. Rublev put in a dominant performance to end Alcaraz’s 14-match winning streak at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

It will be Rublev’s first semi-final in Madrid. The 26-year-old had entered the tournament on a four-match losing streak, including defeats in Miami, Monte Carlo and Barcelona. “Maybe this week is a relief but then next week we go back to the same … so better not to think this way because when you start to think: ‘Oh, how good everything is’. That’s what happened at the beginning of the season,” he said.

“Then for six weeks I wasn’t winning anything. It’s better to not think at all. It happens to everyone. Every player has been through these moments. The most important thing is to keep working and improving and then remember that one week can change anything.”

Meanwhile, men’s top seed Jannik Sinner, who was due to face Félix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals on Thursday, has pulled out of the tournament with a hip injury. Auger-Aliassime gets a walkover into the last four.

“Very sad to have to withdraw from my next match here in Madrid,” Italy’s Sinner said on X. “My hip has been bothering me this week and has slowly been getting more painful. Taking the advice from the doctors we decided it’s best to not play further and make it worse.”

Seabourn alters 2024 Grand Africa cruise to avoid Red Sea

  • Share on WhatsApp
  • Share by email

Seabourn has altered its 2024 Grand Africa cruise to avoid the Red Sea on safety grounds.

The itinerary on Seabourn Sojourn was scheduled to be a 90-day circumnavigation of Africa sailing roundtrip from Barcelona.

The updated itinerary will remain the same length and continue to sail from the Spanish port, but will no longer reach the northeast side of the continent, meaning it will not call at destinations in Kenya, Egypt, Israel, Oman, Tunisia or Malta.

More:  Seabourn joins Atas as touring and adventure sector ‘ticks all our boxes’

Instead, the cruise will depart from Barcelona and call at ports in Morocco, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania and the Seychelles before turning and sailing back round the tip of the continent and up the east coast, calling at Madagascar, Namibia, Benin, Togo, The Gambia, Senegal, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.

The itinerary, which will call at 42 destinations in 20 countries, includes overnight stays in Zanzibar, Victoria, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Walvis Bay and Casablanca.

Seabourn is also offering mid-cruise journeys during the sailing, where passengers have the opportunity to take excursions ranging from three to six nights to destinations in Zanzibar, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.

Passengers can opt to take the full 90-day sailing or depart on a segment of the trip, with shorter itineraries ranging from nine to 63 days in length.

Lynn Narraway, UK and EMEA vice-president, said: “It’s all very sad but we’ve remastered the itinerary into this fantastic 90-day itinerary. This Africa sailing doesn’t happen very often, and we now have more Cape Town opportunities which are very popular with the Brits, as well as a new a six-night mid-cruise journey to Victoria Falls which is really attractive

“The deployment team has done a good job in making the itinerary really special. We hope those who are already booked on will stay with it, but it will also attract new customers to the programme because it’s such an immersive experience of Africa.”

Volotea: The Biggest Low-Cost Airline You’ve Never Heard Of

Gordon Smith , Skift

April 30th, 2024 at 3:05 AM EDT

Volotea is something of a maverick among European budget carriers. It's strategy according to CEO Carlos Muñoz? Don't chase the big guys and get the basics right.

Gordon Smith

Series: Leaders of Travel: Skift C-Suite Series

Leaders of Travel: Skift C-Suite Series

What are the top trends impacting hotels, airlines, and online bookings? We speak to the executives shaping the future of travel.

There’s a fairly high chance that you’ve never heard of Volotea. But it’s one of the quirkiest budget airlines anywhere on the planet. It’s also (usually) pretty profitable.

Think of European low-cost carriers and the big boys probably come to mind. Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air are the most prominent players continent-wide, with the likes of Vueling, Norwegian, and Eurowings also enjoying a high profile, especially in their home regions.

But how does Volotea, a privately owned and financed airline, survive in Europe’s hyper-competitive market?

The Barcelona-based company leaves the trunk routes for the big names. Instead, it has carved out a niche serving smaller cities overlooked or ignored by others.

Volotea’s Secret Sauce

Volotea was founded in 2011 by Carlos Muñoz (pictured above) and Lázaro Ros, but this wasn’t their first foray into aviation. The duo also founded the aforementioned Vueling, which is now owned by IAG, the parent firm of British Airways and Iberia.

While you’ll find Volotea’s distinctive red and white airplane tails at airports in Paris, Rome, and Madrid, the core of the Volotea network lies in secondary and tertiary European cities. The airline has almost 450 routes, with more than half of these being exclusively served by Volotea. 

The airline reaches 110 airports, stretching from Portugal to Greece and most countries in between. It is strongest in France, Italy, and Spain, where it has the bulk of its 21 network bases. Earlier this year, the all-Airbus operator carried its 60-millionth passenger. 

In the latest of our Leaders of Travel: Skift C-Suite Series , we sit down with Muñoz.  

Shaking Off Pandemic Problems

Skift: You had a fairly tough time during the pandemic. Can you give us some context on how 2024 is looking compared to recent years?

Carlos Muñoz: In 2020, from memory, we lost €66 million, and in 2021 we reduced that to €38 million. Remember, this is a company that had been profitable in the previous six years. We thought 2022 was going to be the turnaround year, and then in February Russia invaded Ukraine. That was a tragedy for Ukraine, for Europe, and for the world. Fuel prices go up. We have always hedged, but Covid-19 killed the hedging possibility. So 2022 was actually our worst year.

But things have picked up more recently? 

What went right in 2023 is that there was no big pandemic and no big war starting, although [the Russia-Ukraine war] did unfortunately continue. Demand was super strong and it remains so into 2024. You read figures published by the public airline companies, I can tell you that as a private company, I see the same, if not more. We’re seeing a strong pricing environment. 

Fueling IPO Speculation

With a strong performance last year and momentum continuing into 2024, there has been a lot of speculation that an IPO might be on the cards. What’s the latest thinking around that? 

We are IPO-ready, but this is not just a statement. It’s a lot of work behind the scenes with a lot of banks and lawyers. But for the IPO, or IPOs in general to happen, we need the markets to be ‘IPO open’. That’s starting to happen, but it depends on a lot of factors that are obviously outside of our control. However, if things in capital markets remain well and specifically if large IPOs are happening and they perform well in the market, then smaller IPOs including Volotea will take place.

What do you think makes Volotea such an attractive proposition? 

We’ve had a lot of interaction from people that say they like Volotea’s strategy – its uniqueness, and growth potential. It’s a very differentiated company from the others; it’s the only low-cost airline dedicated to small cities. It has way less competition than anybody else. Volotea has this beautiful cost trajectory and we keep on winning at The World Travel Awards and at Skytrax. We connect cities like nobody else, at a pretty decent price and provide a good experience.

You’ve mentioned the things that make Volotea an attractive proposition from a customer and IPO investor perspective. What about somebody just buying you outright? As an independent, privately owned airline you must have had some interesting discussions?

I’d say just like with an IPO, it always takes two. Of course, it isn’t only my decision, but as CEO and co-founder, I think I influence things a little bit. Our preferred path is definitely the IPO. We’ve always said this as it will help pay the bill for Covid-19 when we really took on a lot of debt. We want to strengthen the balance sheet, that’s really what the IPO is about, it’s essentially new money. 

It’s also important to note that – not in the sense that you’re asking about direct ownership – but we’re already very complimentary with other airlines. We look at them as cooperation opportunities and I think as the years go by, and we keep on growing, there will be more of those. 

Volotea Route Map - April 2024

There’s Life After Boeing

You were Europe’s last major operator of the Boeing 717. How transformational has your fleet renewal program been?

Although Covid-19 was very negative, one huge thing that came with it was a structural fleet change. We got rid of the 717s. They were a good plane and reliable, but cost-wise it went from being decent to being outrageous. They were quite costly – a big drag. If the pandemic brought one good thing it is that we agreed with Boeing the early transitioning out of the aircraft. 

You now have an all-Airbus fleet, however some of the A319s are getting pretty old. What is the strategy for life after the A319?

That’s a very good question, and we have an answer. I cannot tell you all of it, but we are very long-term planning. For around three-quarters of our markets, the perfect seat capacity is 180. We won’t jump higher because that’d be a change in strategy. If I was competing with Ryanair or Wizz Air or any of those guys on the bigger routes I think probably the A321 would be the better equipment. 

Our average route size at Volotea is 28,000 seats per year. That compares to my first airline Vueling, which is now at 150,000 seats, which is almost six times our amount. EasyJet is around 100k, Ryanair is 75 to 80k. So you can see our strategy is not just a slogan or whatever, it’s data.

What about the Volotea routes that cannot sustain an A320?

If you look at our network there are different markets where the 150-seater size works better. So, yes, we want to keep some A319s and when those expire, when they become non-fuel efficient, we’ll be looking for aircraft in that gauge, as that’s the sweet spot for about a quarter of my markets. Obviously, you have the Airbus A220, the Embraer E2 – we’re talking in that sort of space.

The Biggest Challenge?

By co-founding Vueling and now Volotea, you’ve proved your aviation credentials. Do you ever wake up in the morning and ask where your next challenge lies?

I still need to come out of Covid. My challenge is to fix the balance sheet and put Volotea back in a strong financial position like it was in 2019. Don’t get me wrong, we weren’t Microsoft – we didn’t have $40 billion in cash – but we had zero debt. If you look at the industry globally, we’ve gone from $450 billion debt to $650bn [post-pandemic]. So I need to be sure that we go back to a solid balance sheet. That’s my biggest challenge. Then after that, I intend to work for many years as I love this industry.
