BarcelonaSpain

Rating: 10

Living, breathing and radiating the energetic Spanish temperament's positive vibe, unparalleled Barcelona is surely a place not to be missed in Europe! It is the best location on the planet to view Antoni Gaudi's architectural genius, including his precious unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia Basilica, as well as the splash of colors of Park Guell and the uniqueness of his Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. In fact, Barcelona is such a popular European destination that it's often mistakenly considered as Spain's capital! All doubts aside, there's much to see in this heart-stealing Catalan seaside gem as it finds a way to harmoniously blend the old and the new, the natural with the man-made. Get tangled in the narrow labyrinths of the Gothic Quarter, see the 13th-century Barcelona Cathedral, explore the former royal palace now housing Catalonia's finest art museum and Magic Fountain, enjoy the indescribable young atmosphere of La Rambla, stop by the bustling home of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou, and rise up to Mount Tibidabo to capture the best views over Barcelona to remember a lifetime!...Read more

The pulsing heart of Spain, artistic Madrid is the most vivid embodiment of the fiery Spanish spirit and the national love for freedom. Imbued with a royal touch, the Madrid city center deeply impresses visitors by the scale of the architectural ensemble, starting from the biggest Royal Palace in Europe to monumental buildings, lavish parks, and spacious squares like the majestic Plaza Mayor Square and the famous Puerta del Sol Square housing the statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree, the symbol of Madrid. Speaking of exceptional artistic experiences, the Madrid museums are a pleasure to explore as well. The so-called Golden Triangle of Art includes the three most remarkable venues: the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum full of masterpieces of such outstanding geniuses like Picasso and Dali, will make a real splash in your view on art! Are there any other reasons needed for setting off on a Madrid tour?...Read more
