Barcelona Attractions - Top 5 Places to Visit

Barcelona Attractions - Top 5 Places to Visit

Barcelona has emerged as one of the best tourist attractions in recent years, it has never been so much appealing for visitors to visit this lovely place filled with a plentiful of attractions. If you love to roam around then walking around the city is an ideal way getting to know to the place and also enjoy the Barcelonic atmosphere meeting people and watching them to their daily chores. Tourists especially enjoy beach attractions like the one at Platja de Sant Sebastia that is situated at the outskirts of Barcelona, while many people can try to pass their time in the most famous Barcelona tourist attractions of marine creatures at L'Aquarium. Another famous yet popular Barcelona tourist attractions include Barcelona Zoo that appeals to people of all the age groups,
you can probably enjoy your whole day out here with family and friends. Barcelona walking tours are the most famous attractions here where you can enjoy the feel of the city and also sight see varied places and get into the real history and insight of the place. The tours are usually organized by tourist information office of Barcelona, the tour takes you down from Ciutat Vella and lasts for over 90 minutes. Given below are some of the famous and popular places and attractions of Barcelona:

1. Sagrada Familia

If you only get to see one thing whilst in Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia is it. This huge cathedral has been in a state of construction since as far back as 1882, and there is at least another 20 years or so until it is complete. It is the most famous building of the most famous Spanish architect of them all, Antoni Gaudi, who died in 1926. It is a project on a vast scale, a truly original monument that seems entirely fitting to such a fantastic city as Barcelona.

Gaudi worked on the building up until his death, focusing on nothing else for the last 12 years of his life. Its incredible, original design has made it instantly recognisable, and it is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city. A guided tour is worth taking to find out all about the history of the building. It's also found right on Metro Line 5 so it's easy to reach.

2. Parc Guell

La Sagrada Familia may be Gaudi's masterpiece, but Park Guell is a close second. This huge park is full of a large number of attractions designed by Gaudi, with new wonders appearing around every corner. It gets its name from Eusebi Guell, who commissioned it to be a luxury villa for himself, and was built between 1900 and 1914. At one point it was going to contain luxury houses for the rich residents of Barcelona, but luckily it was converted into a public park that you can walk around for free.

So impressive is the park that it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it includes La Torre Rosa, Gaudi's old house that has now been converted into a museum. There are also numerous statues and a wonderful viewing area with a cafe to admire the city from above. It's a steep walk to the top, and there are even outdoor escalators to help along the way, but it's most definitely worth it.

3. Camp Nou

For any fan of the beautiful game, a trip to Barcelona should not definitely include a visit to the stadium of one of the best teams in Europe. The Camp Nou is one of the best stadiums on the continent, which is fitting as it is home to one of the best teams in the world. With a capacity of over 90,000, it is a vast arena that is impressive enough on a simple guided tour. But if you're lucky enough to catch a game here then it will be an experience you won't forget. And should you be really lucky and get a seat to witness the visit of Barcelona's arch rivals Real Madrid, you'll be able to watch one of the most passionate games in world football.

Built in 1957, the stadium also hosts a shop, a chapel for the players and the most visited museum in the whole of Catalonia, with over a million people making the journey to this Mecca of football to witness the over 400 trophies that Barcelona FC has managed to gather during its reign. Not to be missed.

4. Picasso Museum

Barcelona is a city of art, and nowhere do you realise this more than in the Picasso Museum. This is an absolute must for anyone with even the slightest interest in Pablo Ruiz Picasso, and for real fans it will be a definite highlight of your trip.

There are over 3,800 works in the permanent collection, a hugely impressive wealth of incredible artworks that show the development of the artist from young experimentalist to modern master. Opening back in 1963, the museum is rightfully placed in Barcelona, a city which Picasso shared a real connection with throughout his life.

Regular exhibitions are always changing, so you never know quite what you're going to get, and the building itself, situated right in the heart of the old city, helps bring the experience to life.

5. La Rambla

Once you've seen all the main attractions of Barcelona, get out in the open air and take a stroll down La Rambla. This is the large street through the centre of the city that is over 1.2 kilometres in length. Lined by trees and completely pedestrian, it stretches from Placa de Catalunya to the Christopher Columbus monument.

It is in reality a number of different streets, all given different names for different parts. The final part, the Rambla de Mar, goes right down to the harbour. Lots of shops, restaurants and tourists fill the street, and on a sunny day there is no better way to see the city by foot.

Khatron Ke Khiladi new Host

Dabangg star quietly shoots for Khatron Ke Khiladi 4 promo. Akshay is caught unawares!
Salman Khan is hot property on TV. There's no denying that. That said, Akshay Kumar is no pushover, either.

So imagine the shock Akki was in for when he heard from friends that Salman Khan had ousted him as host of the upcoming fourth season of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi.

According to a source, the Dabangg star is already on for KKK4. "Salman shot a promo for KKK4 in Bangkok while shooting for Bhushan Kumar's Ready. He would never shoot a promo unless he had signed a contract.

The channel is debating on how to break the news to Akshay who was kicked about hosting the show's fourth season."

A source explains the shift in loyalties. "After successful runs with 10 Ka Dum and Bigg Boss 4 and his runaway hit, Dabangg, Salman is on a hot streak. He's friends with Colors' head, Ashwini Yardi.

He has hinted on giving them a bargain a double deal for Big Boss 5 and KKK 4. The clincher could be BB4's higher TRPs than Akshay has ever had on his show for the same channel."

Exit clause

These factors have convinced the channel to do a rethink despite signing AK to host KKK4. Apparently, both the actor and the channel have an exit clause where one can opt out of the deal without having to break it.

Colors is exploring this clause as Akki has already shot for a promo for KKK4 in South Africa in February.

Says a source close to Akshay, "He has heard the rumours of Salman replacing him but is choosing not to believe them till the channel tells him so.

He refuses to believe that Salman would do something so underhand."

When asked to comment, Ashwini Yardi says, "I cannot say anything at this point." While Akki and Sallu remained unavailable for comment.

Me want More!
For Sony's 10 Ka Dum, Salman was paid Rs 90 crore for 100 episodes. When he realised that Akshay was being paid Rs 1.5 crore for 16 episodes to host Colors' Khatron Ke Khiladi, he was upset. Sallu refused to come on the sets until his price was hiked. Sony was in a fix. The show with Salman had already been announced and the promos were to soon go on air. It was finally agreed that Salman should be paid a crore per episode, making him richer by Rs 104 crore for 100 episodes!

1st view of tsunami by coast Guard

Hitting the wave: The tsunami rears up in front of a Japanese coast guard vessel in an otherwise clam pacific

This is the moment a Japanese Coast Guard ship was confronted by the tsunami that hit the coast of Japan on Friday.

Amazing video footage shows a huge wave looming on the horizon of an otherwise calm Pacific.

The wall of water was created by an earthquake off the coast of Japan, and it is believed to be the first footage of the tsunami in the open ocean.

But as their ship safely rode the wave, its crew were powerless to do anything but warn their countrymen it was on its way.

And after it passed the 970-tonne coast guard vessel Matsushima it went on to the coast of Japan where it killed at least 6,500 people with another 10,700 missing.
The ship is lifted up tens of feet in the air and splashes down safely on the other side. A second smaller wave hits the ship minutes later.
When the wave hit Japan, the power generated by the earthquake sent water surging over the coast, flattening scores of coastal towns

Lots of stuff come out over the weekend, and we don’t necessarily feel like posting about all of them. Fortunately that’s what lazy Saturday afternoons are for. So, here are some trailers you might have missed over the last week that was.

First up, Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks in “Larry Crowne”, a film directed by Hanks, and starring Roberts as a lazy college teacher. Looks aiiight if you’re a fan of both. Co-starring Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, and Taraji P. Henson. Riding home July 1, 2011.

Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he’s worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselves…often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband. The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.
