For a brief respite from the city bustle, there’s also the Parc de la Ciutadella, with a zoo and boating lake.

NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderón

With a rooftop terrace and swimming pool, panoramic city views, and the 11th-floor World Class by Diageo cocktail embassy, luxury details are the order of the day at the five-star NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderón. This city-center hotel is also ideal for exploring Barcelona: it’s 10 minutes from Las Ramblas, while other iconic buildings such as Casa Batlló and Casa Milà are within easy distance. For retail therapy, Passeig de Gràcia, one of the city’s best shopping streets, is also close by.

For example, at NH Collection Barcelona Constanza you’ll find the award-winning Don Giovanni restaurant where chef Andrea Tumbarello creates Barcelona’s best Italian cuisine, while at NH Collection Barcelona Podium, you can savor the Mediterranean seasonal specialties and enjoy a glass of wine or two in the rooftop bar. For cocktails, not many places can match the 11th-floor Bar and terrace at NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderón, where you can sample the handiwork of renowned bartender, Nacho Ordóñez.

Ciutat Vella, the heart of the city, is made up of the four famous neighborhoods of La Barceloneta, El Gòtic, El Raval, and Sant Pere, which are all full of things to see. Some of the most iconic city-center attractions include Las Ramblas, the vibrant Mercado de la Boquería, and the modernist Palau de la Música Catalana, as well as a range of museums where you can explore Barcelona’s history and culture. For a tour of Gaudi’s architecture, stroll to the nearby district of Eixample to see the Sagrada Familia, an unfinished masterpiece, and beautiful Parc Güell.
