Barcelona Day Tour
Barcelona attractions are wide ranging, and the city buzzes with culture and vibrancy. Yet visitors may find they are drawn to exploring areas outside of Barcelona, to embarking on day trips and going on other city tours. Some particularly charming Barcelona day tour destinations are Sitges, Montserrat and Figueres.
Who needs things to do in Barcelona? Sitges is a mere half hour journey from Barcelona, and holds many attractions to captivate the visitor. Not only does it have 17 stunning beaches, a range of nightclubs, an eminent arts scene and some striking architecture, it is also well-known for the beauty of its natural surroundings. Wander through the Garraf Nature Reserve, a tranquil yet awe-inspiring national park. Uncover some enticing cultural events during the Sitgestiucultura, a summer festival and marvel at the incredible eighteenth-century mansions dotted throughout the city. Take one of many guided tours available through the cultural hot spots of the city.
No Barcelona attractions or sightseeing tours of Barcelona can compare to the sheer majesty and singularity of Montserrat. Montserrat translates as, literally serrated mountain' and the exceptionally rugged landscape of this mountain is astounding. It is home to some especially rare plant and animal species. You must visit the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, and if you are lucky this experience will be rendered even more memorable than it would be otherwise as you may witness rockfalls down the side of the volcano. And if you are remarkably lucky, you may witness a major dome collapse. The monastery at Montserrat is of very powerful historical significance it was seen as a place of refuge from Franco's men. Its publishing house continued to print books in Catalan during the dictatorship of Franco, and in fact publishes to this day.
Finally, a day trip to elegant Figueres is well worth embarking on. Take a city tour of the place most noted as the birthplace of the prodigious master, Dali. The Dali Theatre-Museum, opened in 1974, is amongst the most visited museums of Catalonia. Designed by Dali himself, this Dali museum contains the broadest spectrum of his works covering his whole life. However, a guided tour of Figueres will also show you that there is much more to the city than the legacy left by Dali. The Toy Museum of Catalonia includes 4,000 items, bound to delight and leave you reminiscing about your childhood memories. The Museum of the Emporda is home to one of Spain's greatest art collections. There is much more to see in Figueres besides.
