If you’re planning on visiting Barcelona but you haven’t made the leap yet, here we’ve got a few reasons to prove the trip unmissable. Whether you’re looking for a city to relax in, or if you prefer reasons to burn adrenaline, if you prefer the mountain or if you’re a beach lover, if you love winter sports, enjoying great gastronomy, if you prefer museums or if you really don’t like them and you prefer a good plate of bravas, Barcelona is your city. We have resumed the million and one reasons we have to convince you to come to Barcelona in five, so we hope you like them.
- Sunny all year around
Barcelona has a privileged location that gifts the city with a smooth climate throughout the whole year. This fact makes it’s terraces even more popular, as it’s never too cold to enjoy them. Famous terraces such as ours at Hotel Omm, from where you can enjoy the sunset, enjoy the views of Casa Milà, SagradaFamília and the lights emitted from Montjuïc.
- It’s architecture
Barcelona is known as the Modernist capital, as many of the most famous exponents of this architectonic current, lived and work here, such as Antonio Gaudí. Due to this heritage, It’s not strange to be walking around the beautiful Eixample district and suddenly walk walk into a unique modernist house on many a block. One of the most impressive works that we recommend visiting are:la Pedrera and La Casa Batlló, both only 5 minutes away from our Hotel Omm in Paseo de Gracia
- Culture in every corner
Barcelona has turned into a very cosmopolitan city, continuously hosting artistic and cultural expositions all over the city. As if this wasn’t enough, there’s also a vast amount of Art Galleries, without forgetting the numerous amount of museums, most importantly MACBA, The Picasso Museum, The Miró Foundation and MNAC.
- A pleasure to the senses
Local gastronomy is very varied and includes dishes originary from both Catalunya as the rest of the country. One of the very particular and exclusive dishes of the region are the Calçots that are in season at the end of winter and the start of spring. If you come to the city and want to enjoy high quality cuisine, we recommend you to pay a visit to Roca Bar and Roca Moo, the latter having just been awarded a Michelin star and two stars in the Repsol Guide.
- Nightlife
Barcelona has an incredible nightlife to offer and it’s practically impossible to not find a bar or somewhere to go out any night of the week. Most of the preferred tourist bars and clubs are in Puerto Olímpico and the Old Town, although we recommend that you visit Omm Club, a venue that combines both electronic music with live performances by local and international artists.
