|  | Barcelona the cultural vanguard is also a carefree, beach-loving city. Get the most fun and enjoyment out of the water both in the city and within a short distance of it.
Four kilometers of beaches
Stretching from Barceloneta to the Olympic Port, all the beaches offer shady terraces, hammocks - sometimes hundreds of them! - playgrounds for the kids and a variety of water activities, including water sports. Pick and choose !
Along the water
See Barcelona from a different angle by hopping on a sightseeing boat. Cruise the harbor along the coast and the Besos river. Back on land, wander around the columns and vaults of the Maritime Museum and the tanks at the Aquarium. |

| | Boating
Far from the lively beaches but still close to the sea, rent a boat at the lake in Ciutadella park. The city's green lung offers aquatic attractions - waterfall, fountains, dolphin show - to delight young and old alike.
Over the water
Get up high. Across from the statue of Christopher Columbus, take the wooden footbridge over to the astounding Maremagnum for some serious mall crawling. Or hop on the picturesque red cable car up to Montjuic, for a spectacular view of the coast. |
