Barcelona is truly an international city with its rich mix of cultures, commerce, education, science and the arts. The port is one of the busiest in Europe, and so is its airport. Many people come to Barcelona on short or long-term visits, or they move there for educational, business or social reasons. For those visiting the city, there are accommodation options that fit any budget, and if you’re not staying for long, one good way to see as many beauties of Barcelona as possible is by renting a car.
