Familia or hike the undulating landscape of long-extinct volcanoes, this Barcelona travel guide could be the ultimate travel gift (or destination) for any jet setter. 

Discover unique architecture, diverse landscapes and a centuries-old culture inside this Barcelona travel book:


   • Our pick of Catalonia and Barcelona must-sees, top experiences, and hidden gems

From gothic churches and old taverns to dizzying skyscrapers and ritzy cocktail bars, Catalonia is a constant contradiction. The natural landscape is just as varied: soaring mountain ranges preside over pristine wilderness and vineyard-cloaked hills taper into a seemingly endless, awe-inspiring stretch of coastline. Barcelona is a refreshing city, boasting a commitment to preserving and improving its ecological infrastructure, creating a beautiful marriage of modern civilization and nature to be explored. 

Travel to Barcelona and Catalonia knowing that you have the best travel guidebook to plot your course with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page. The hand-drawn illustrations place you inside Barcelona and Catalonia’s iconic buildings and neighborhoods.
