Barcelona is a great city with so much to do. You can go to a museum like Picasso’s or the MACBA, enjoy the cultural heritage, or maybe seeing the mixture of different architectures that the city has. But if you want to relax yourself, have a drink, a cup of coffee or some tapas in a beautiful terrace, here I give you some ideas to enjoy your stay in Barcelona.
There are many outdoor places to hang out, for example, this outstanding place in Barcelona. The Dragon’s roof terrace in Casa Batlló is the perfect space to enjoy the night sky and the views of the neighborhood while you’re having a drink or eating an aperitif. In addition, it has the advantage that it’s possible to hold parties and events in a very unusual place, made by one of the world’s best known architects, Antoni Gaudí.
The Hotel Olivia Plaza is a nice place that contains the 19, a bar restaurant that is located next to the Plaça de Catalunya. This terrace is prepared for any weather, summer or winter, and it allows you to see the church of Santa Anna, which is in the middle of the Barri Gòtic or Gothic Quarter.
The terrace of Hotel DO is a fantastic place to enjoy the views of Barcelona from the heights. From there, surrounded by palm trees and arcades, you can admire one of the emblematic places of the city, the Plaça Reial.
Close to the beach and with sea views, it’s interesting to visit the Gallito and the Bestial. Gallito is located under the Hotel W, and this terrace is very nice not only for its breathtaking views but also for the Mexican influence in its menu. On the other hand, the Bestial is next to the Hotel Arts and the fish sculpture of Gehry, it has great views and Italian and Mediterranean food too.
Although we’ve already seen many interesting places, La Balsa is a terrace that stands out for its tranquility and its green space, full of vegetation. You shouldn’t miss this restaurant because of its beauty but also to taste the good Mediterranean cuisine. Totally worth it.
