Some Sights to See on Holiday in Barcelona

Spain is the second most visited country in the world and a HOLIDAY IN BARCELONA is definitely a place visitors should consider when choosing their travel destinations. The city is so wonderful with something to offer tourists and locals. Barcelona is one of the more famous cities in Spain. That fame may be due to the famous football club of the same name, so it is obvious to say that there is something available for football fans here. There is a museum that has statues and trophies and photos of well known football stars and soccer fans will find this quite remarkable. Aside from the museums, the monuments of Barcelona also attract many tourists.

The Barri Gotic, the Gothic Quarter, is old but has many beautiful buildings which are arranged in a beautiful maze. In the area you can also see the ruins of the Roman Empire and the seat of the Catalan government known as the Palau de la Generalitat. This district is probably the most popular among all the tourist areas.

The Columbus Monument is located in the old city of Barcelona. The statue is located in the area, which is believed to be where Christopher Columbus first moored his ship to enter the Spanish territory. It is 200 metres high and sits on the end of the avenue La Rambla. There is a cover of the famous monument, which is mainly used for observation and grants a magnificent view of the sea and the city. You can cover the surface by elevators to the ports of entry.

The Arc de Triomf monument is a famous ancient Roman arch made of red bricks. It is between Passeig de Sant Joan and Lluis streets. The design by the Moors on the back is of Mallorca in 1229 and it gives a lot of value and appeal.

The Collserola Tower was introduced in 1992 mainly due to the hosting of the Olympic Games. The tower has a restaurant and observation deck, and also includes some of the best architectural views of the city. You can have a lot of fun here and not have to worry about cooking as the restaurant is there to serve your needs.

No doubt when visiting Spain a HOLIDAY IN BARCELONA is not something to be missed.
