Touristic Attractions

The music complex L’Auditori is 42.000 m2 and was designed by architect Rafael Moneo. It is situated near the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya and the Plaça de les Glòries, a square where the three most important lanes of Barcelona merge: The Dioganal, Gran Via and the Meridiana. The building was being employed on March 22nd in 1999.

 

There is a cableway from the harbor to the top of the Montjuïc. The cables are hanging at a height of 100 meters above ground, and give you a spectaculair viewing of the city. Of course it isn’t an attraction for people with fear of heights. You will take off from a platform at the Sant Sebastiá tower, an elevator will bring you up. Every 15 minutes there will leave a cabin that stops on his way at the Jaume I tower at the World Trade Centre.

 

If you’re a real football admirer, you just have to visit the stadium from one of the most famous clubs in the world. You will not be the only one for sure: a little more than a million people a year are visiting this football sanctuary. Camp Nou, which is the name of the stadium, is not far from Montjuïc and can house almost 100.000 spectators. FC Barcelona is ‘mes que un club’, or ‘more than a club’, it is the symbol of the Catalan pride and their strive for an independent Catalonia.

 

The most famous, busiest and maybe because of that the most coziest beach of Barcelona is the beach of Barceloneta. This is the beach that’s closest to the centre and because of that very popular with tourists.

 

The Barcelona Zoo is located in Parc de la Ciutadella, near the old city centre and the beach. It is an extraordinary zoo where the animals live in large cages. Untill 2003, the white gorilla named ‘Floquet de Neu’(snowflake), was the main attraction of the zoo. The animal died suffering skincancerm but still has its own website on the internet. This site is not only meant to keep the memories of Snowflake alive but also to spread knowledge about threatened gorillas.

 

Barri Gotic is the name of the oldest part of Barcelona. Here the Romans established their settlement Barci. There’s not much to find back in this area from the period of the Romans, except for the Historic Museum (Museu d’Historia de la Ciutat) near Plaça del Rei, that is build on Roman ruins. The remains of these ruins can be examined in the basement of the museum. A few of the things you can see there are laundry works from the Roman era, a winery and some residences. Pottery and jewels that were discovered by diggings are also being showed.
