Tours in Barcelona |
Montjuïc (Mountain of the Jews)
The hill of Montjuïc has enough attractions to fill several days and was the main location of the 1992 Olympic Games. In addition to the Palau Nacional and the Fundació Joan Miró, visitors might also want to explore the Estadi Olìmpic and the accompanying museum, the Museu Arqueològic, the replica Spanish village (Poble Espanyol) or the Pavellò Barcelona, created by architect Mies van der Rohe, for the 1929 Exhibition. Other attractions include Castell de Montjuïc (an 18th-century fortress) and an amusement park. Half the fun is the funicular ride up the mountainside and the outstanding views from the top.
Montjuïc
Drassanes Reials and Museu Marítim (Royal Shipyard and Maritime Museum)
The Maritime Museum harks back to Barcelona's seafaring past, with a staggering number of nautical exhibits, including a map by Amerigo Vespucci. The museum is housed in the magnificent Drassanes Reials (Royal Shipyards), which date from the 13th century.
