Vibrant and vivacious, Barcelona city breaks are amongst the most fashionable and well-favoured in the world. A winner with families, friends and couples who want a romantic getaway in a culture-filled fantasy land, there's something for everyone in this pick 'n' mix metropolis. An incredibly pretty city, avant-garde architecture, fountain-fringed boulevards, tiny tapas restaurants and chic boutiques fill the El Born area and the medieval streets of the Gothic quarter, while Gaudi's artistic presence can be felt throughout the city. Continuing to attract millions of visitors each year, his legendary cathedral - the Sagrada Familia - remains unfinished, over 100 years after it was first started. Fans of the architect should also make a beeline for La Pedrera, Palau Guell and Casa Batlo to see more of his brightly-coloured tiles and chimneys or for a different artist impression, head to the Picasso Museum. The old town is where you'll find most of the action - day and night - and it's here that Las Rambles, the most famous street in the city can be found. Packed with shops, tavernas and wine bars, it's also where the majority of hotels are positioned, so if you find yourself giddy on Spanish food and wine, you won't have far to travel home. Because the city experiences sun from spring to autumn, make sure you visit Barceloneta Beach to top up your tan before you head home.
