MUSEUMS - The Barbier-Mueller Museum of Pre-Columbian Art – this is a museum which is dedicated to the cultures of the old Columbians. In this museum tourists and visitors can see the rich world of the oldest cultures on the continent of America.
This museum is set in a Gothic palace and this palace is one of the master-piece. This is not a big museum. It contains around 100 pieces which includes wood & stone sculptures, ceramics, tapestries, jade, mostly found in international exhibitions & prestige publications. All these things placed there show the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Chavin, Mochica & Inca civilizations.
Palau de la Musica Catalana – it is among the landmarks in Barcelona. It is a music hall which is known as extraordinary world famous. It is the mixture of many explicit creations like polychrome ceramic ticket windows on the Carrer de Sant Pere Mes Alt side and the busts of Palestrina, Bach, Beethoven, & Wagner. This place depicts the most modern culture of Barcelona.
Museu Picasso – this is one of the museums which is mostly visited by everyone. There are 3500 things to represent. The very initial work of Picasso is placed here as he lived in Barcelona for a long time from 1901 – 06. These exhibits include childhood sketches, captures from the beautiful Rose & Blue periods, & the well-known 1950s Cubist variations on Velazquez's Las Meninas (Ladies-in-Waiting).
Gaudi Casa-Museu – this house is just like an Alice-in-Wonderland house where Gaudi spent years from 1906 – 1926 with its pinks. This place then changed and all of the Gaudi’s designed furniture, decorations, drawings, & portraits were placed and exhibited here.
Fundacio Miro – this was the native city of Joan Miro and he gifted this to its city. This museum contains most explicit contemporary art and it opened in 1975 and then became most famous.
WHEN TO GO, WEATHER: the weather in this city is warm in late spring and early autumn and it is between 21 C – 25 C so everyone who wants to go Barcelona should go in these seasons. Otherwise, this place keeps a usual hot and humid temperature +30 (+86 Fahrenheit).

The month of august is specially known for a big number of the local inhabitants that they go out from the city. So, I suggest no one should go there in this month as lots of shops, bars & restaurants close.
The temperature in the day time is comparatively good and sometimes it rains which is good to enjoy all the places and it is approx. +12 C (+59 Fahrenheit).
BEACHES – there are plenty of beaches in Barcelona and this city is really famous for its beautiful beaches. The well known and world renowned beaches are Costa Brava & Costa Dorada and it takes about an hour to reach them from Barcelona.

Apart from these two there are other famous beaches which are around 4km far within the city boundaries. The big beach is Nova Icaria – very close to the Olympic marina, always have plenty of people, really sandy with golden color, enjoyable with food items.
There are very high standard and perfect beach bars over there and they make up around 7 when we talk about the famous restaurants on the promenade (Mango & Chiringuito de Moncho). There are more bars with a little distance from the beach.
Bogatell – the size of this beach is 7 times the size of adjoining Nova Icaria. This beach is having a walkway made with stones which can be used perfectly for jogging, roller blading and running. There are two big informal restaurants on the promenade.

One is the Mar Bella (Metro Ciutadella Vila Olimpica, plus 20-minute walk) – this is the one and only beach of Barcelona which is naturist and is very near to a calm and silent park. This park is very good if one wants to have a picnic or siesta sitting under the trees.
The second one is Barceloneta – this is kind of a jolly park with loads of fun with the traditional locals. Its drawing is wide and long. This restaurant keeps noisy and crowded all the time.
GETTING THERE & AROUND: any one can come to Barcelona by a direct flight or via Madrid or he can take a flight from the major airports of the European big city.

The fares for all these flights vary from the months like very high rates in May-September, very low in March-April, October-November and December-February but these exclude the days of Christmas and old year because at that time the prices of fares touch the sky. If you take weekend flight you will find it costly so better not go on weekends.
You can take other modes of travelling to Barcelona if you are coming from within Europe like train, bus or automobile but they will take long time than flying and sometimes even cost equal. You can also take the way via any Mediterranean cruises which also include Barcelona.
ACCOMODATIONS: there is a range of various choices from which you can choose. Holiday rentals in a 4-star apartment hotel start from $ 12 USD for a room which is double.

You can also book in a 3-star hotel for $65 USD for a double room. Due to the visits of the tourists to this city and resorts all of the year, the prices you have to pay for hotels remain the same throughout the year.
DININD: apart from restaurants you can also go to bars for your meals where you will get the Tapas - small snacks- two or two chunks of fish, meat or vegetables, or salad, and it is their tradition to serve this up free with a drink, or they may offer you raciones which is large ones.

You will find it interesting if you go to the bar because of the allowed rounds and the sampling of local specialities. A meal which includes seven dishes and dessert would cost you at an average of 25 Euros.
