Start off your Bachelorette weekend with a relaxing day at the beach. Barceloneta is the most famous beach in Barcelona located just a few minutes away from the city center. Spend your day lounging in the sun, sipping cocktails, and taking a dip in the Mediterranean sea.
The Gothic Quarter is a charming and historic neighborhood in Barri Gotic that's perfect for exploring with your girl gang. You'll see stunning architecture, narrow streets, trendy boutiques, local bars and restaurants. Check out the Barcelona Cathedral, Placa Nova or the Sant Felip Neri square.
Take a day trip from the city to the breathtaking Montserrat Monastery which located on top of a mountain with spectacular views of Barcelona. Get on the top via Funicular railway and see the Black Madonna at the basilica of Montserrat. Take photos, listen to the choir, view the art and explore breathtaking views of Barcelona.
Finish off your trip with a visit to the world-famous landmarks, from Gaudi's architectural gems - The Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. Visit both to get a feel for his colorful & mosaic style. Other attractions while in the park include the dragon staircase, the park’s salamander, benches with a view, and home Gaudi himself lived.
Barceloneta is only a 10-minute ride from the city center, and there are plenty of taxis and bike rentals available. For longer trips, public transportation, such as the metro, may be more cost-effective. Expect to pay around $2.50 per one-way trip, and travel time varies depending on the distance.
If you have an extra day, take a wine-tasting tour at famous Penedes Vineyards or check out other famous artistic places like Casa Batllo or La Pedrera. For a shorter trip, skip the Montserrat Monastery day trip to save time and money.
