LOVE GOING OUT, HAVING A GOOD TIME AND DOING IT ALL FOR PRICES YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE? YES? THEN BARCELONA IS THE CITY FOR YOU!
SPORTS?
Just a few….
If you’re a football fan,
you wont be alone in Barcelona! Not only is Barcelona home to the best football
team on the planet, its second team aren’t bad either! They're called Espanyol,
whose stadium boasts an impressive 40,500 seats! That’s loads? WELL, prepare to
be amazed because F.C. Barcelona play at the phenomenal Nou Camp, which holds
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE! It’s more of a colosseum than a football stadium!
Better yet, you can have a tour of the entire place and get a taste of the
magic! (And receive a discount for
being a student whilst you’re at it!)
However, it’s not only football
that Barcelona has to offer! Whether you’re a golf, tennis, F1 or even American
football fan, Barcelona has it all!
CULTURE?
In abundance! No trip to Barcelona would be
complete without checking out the awesome artwork scattered around this amazing
city and yes, most of it is absolutely
FREE!
Antoni Gaudi is without doubt one of the most
talented people to have ever walked the earth and lucky for you his world-class
art is decorated all over the city. The Park Güell is one of his most
beautiful and famous pieces of art, located on a huge hill overlooking the whole
of Barcelona, just look at the view!
The fascinating piece was completed in 1914 and
looks just as spectacular in 2013, still one of the largest architectural
structures in southern Europe.
You’ve probably seen it in pictures right? The huge church in the middle of Barca? Well this is commonly known as the Sagrada Familia Project, which was began by the great man Gaudi himself in 1914!

Incredibly it is so immense that it is
still being worked on this very day, and you can guarantee it will completely
take your breath away! Although entry is not free, student discount means for
just €9 you can go in and explore this masterpiece for yourself, you won’t
regret it.
NIGHTLIFE?
When the sun sets, Barcelona rises !
You couldn’t even fathom some on the insane
nightclubs in Barcelona! Genuine home of innovative clubbing, you will
experience a night you will never forget. Whether it’s rooftop, underground or
ocean view nightclubs you’re after, Barcelona has it all.
Fancy a more relaxed night? That’s cool! Why not visit one of many chilled out bars, listen to some live music and smoke some shisha?
why not travel to one of the many
music festivals that are on offer in the surrounding areas of Barcelona? How about
timing your visit to coincide with the astonishingly good Benicàssim festival which stages the best live bands on the planet? It’s
only a short train journey away!
BEACH?
BEACH?
The city itself is so unbelievable, that most
people tend to forget yet another aspect of Barcelona that makes it so
great, THE BEACH! How many other
cities can offer you the same level of sports, history and nightlife as
Barcelona and then top it all off with a golden sands beach? NONE.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
