Generally speaking, Paris is known as the Romance Capital of Europe but Barcelona offers many activities for you and your loved one to do while spending a weekend in this beautiful city. For a relaxing and romantic afternoon, head to the green park of Ciutadella located within the city limits where you can rent paddleboats and spend the afternoon boating on the beautiful lake.

Another relaxing afternoon can be spent at one of Barcelona's spectacular beaches. Barceloneta Beach is located in the Barceloneta neighborhood of the city with a beautiful boardwalk where you can take walks and eat at one of the multiple ice cream shops that line the boardwalk.

After an exciting day on The Rambla you can go on a romantic Horse and Carriage ride down the Rambla. These carriages can be picked up any where along the Rambla or down the beach.

To end the evening with a romantic dinner you can dine at Opium Mar. This elegant dinner will provide both a romantic setting over looking the waterfront and tables with elegant lounge chairs.

If you are more adventurous you can spend the afternoon hiking up to the top of Tibidabo. This hike presents you with incredible views of Barcelona. Once you reach the top of the hike you can refresh at the bar Mirablau and enjoy spectacular views of the entire city and mountains.
