Unparalleled in its enthusiasm for a good time, Barcelona barely has time to take down the bunting between its rollicking festivals. When there isn't an all-night fiesta happening on the street, there's more than likely a party on the beach and never any shortage of action in its clubs and bars. All of this takes place in a perfect climate and against a backdrop of mind-blowing modernista architecture and a cityscape as varied as any. Gentler pursuits are also myriad; the city's museums have got it all covered from Picasso to perfume, it's galleries are among the most avant-garde in Europe and its history writ large in the churches and perfectly preserved medieval alleyways of the Barri Gotic. The 14th edition of "Time Out Barcelona" remains the ultimate reference for all the essentials: where to stay, where to eat, where to shop and what to see.
Time Out Barcelona
Description
Author Description
Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what’s happening in the world’s greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
