In recent years, Barcelona has built up a reputation as one of the most attractive cities in Europe and a first rate worldwide tourist destination. This is due to several reasons, including the warm climate, propinquity to the sea, cultural and historical heritage, cuisine, the wide range of amenities and cultural and recreational possibilities on offer, as well as the city’s thriving status as a business centre. All these factors transform Barcelona into an appealing destination for those planning a quiet family trip, or people who want to take in the culture, as well as those who prefer to relax on the beaches and sail out of the port, enjoy the nightlife or supplement a business conference.
