Tips For Couples Travelling In Barcelona
If you are thinking of planning a couples holiday in Barcelona, you should give some thought into renting an apartment. If you and your closest set of friends like the sound of sharing the same space then you will reap the advantages. And, with lots of buildings to choose across the city, you’ll never be too far away from the sights you really want to see.
Barcelona holiday apartments offer several advantages over hotel rooms for several reasons. They offer you more choice in areas like the food you eat and the kind of in-house facilities you require. But not only that, they are generally much cheaper.
This is especially true if you are booking as part of two couples. With four people in the same apartment, you could half the cost of your holiday accommodation. You can also share tasks like cooking and washing up.
For close couples this could be the ideal way to spend a few days, or weeks, in Barcelona. But don’t imagine it like two couples staying in a hotel room. Apartments are more like your own little holiday home. Somewhere you can do your own cooking and laundry, with separate kitchens, bedrooms and living area.
There are lots of areas that are just perfect for couples. Where you choose to stay, of course, will depend on the kind of attractions you like to visit. For those with a passion for art and history, an apartment in the Gothic Quarter would be just ideal. This is where the ancient past of the city can really captivate your imagination.
One of the best things about this area of the city is that the pace of life is somewhat more leisurely than elsewhere in the city. Thus allowing you to take your time to wander in and out of the bijou stores and take in the magnificent 19th century architecture. Or why not enjoy a cool drink on a warm day on the terrace of one of the delightful cafes?
If you have come to experience the modern and lively side of the city, check out El Born. This trendy area is becoming one of the most popular places to stay. Not only is it close to just about everything but it is also home to many fashionable shops and streets.
Its mix of old buildings and fashionable culture has made it one of the hippest places in town. Next to the traditional bistros you have trendy cafes and beside the independent retailers you have international fashion stores. The beach is also easily located around ten minutes walk away, where you are bound to spend a good proportion of your time.
If clubbing is your primary objective, however, then Las Ramblas is where you will want to stay. This is the busiest of streets in Barlcelona and is just littered with night time attractions. This is where the city is at its liveliest for those that like that sort of thing.
Being close to the action can bring a bit more noise, but you’ll find that’s outweighed by all the benefits. You’ll have less distance to walk home at night and less time travelling to where it is you want to go. Best of all, you’ll get know an area of the city that’s always very exciting.
The marina is one of the most rapidly developing areas of the city, and is not to be missed. Regardless of which region you choose to base yourself, it is within easy walking distance. Home to a wonderful aquarium and Barcelona’s maritime history, it is an unrivalled place to spend a day.
For couples with an urge to visit Barcelona, renting a two-bedroom is one of the best ways to do it. Not only could it cost you less, but it will also let you set up camp close to the activities of your choosing. There are areas across the city that will accommodate you. So, no matter what activities you like to do, you won’t be stuck for choice.
