Things to see and do

5. Sunset Cruise

Treat yourself to an exclusive sunset cruise on the Mediterranean and watch the sun disappear over the horizon of the surrounding mountains. The Orsom Catamaran offers group sunset cruises but can also be hired for private groups, meaning you and your partner can feel like jet-setters for the evening. Grab a glass of bubbly and get comfortable as you cruise across the waterfront and admire the city from an entirely different perspective.

6. Montjuïc Gardens

The Greek Theatre gardens on Montjuic in Barcelona

For a moment of tranquillity in an otherwise hectic city, escape to the outdoor gardens of Montjuïc. Starting from the bottom of the hill, stroll through the Greek Theatre Gardens and take a moment to sit in the open-air amphitheatre that gives the gardens their name. Walk up through the Generalife staircases and listen to the sound of the water trickling down the side of the stairs. Pass through the gardens of Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer to admire the water pools before finishing off with a tour of Montjuïc castle and a picnic overlooking the sea.
