So, start making your way through the list to make the most of your time here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

1. Explore the city\u2019s Gothic Quarter. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The oldest part of the city is also one of its most charming. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many sights to enjoy here, from spectacular Gothic churches to picturesque squares. <\/span><\/p>\n

Set aside an afternoon to simply get lost in its scenic streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Scope out the tapas<\/a> scene.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

There are tons of great tapas bars in Barcelona<\/a><\/strong> where you can enjoy classic Spanish food without splashing out a ton of cash. <\/span><\/p>\n

Round up a couple of friends and eat away!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. One word: Gaud\u00ed.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

The city\u2019s most famous architect is the mind behind some of its most iconic buildings, like the Sagrada Familia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re into his style or not, it\u2019s certainly like nothing else on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wander around Montju\u00efc.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

The green hillside bordering the city\u2019s southern edge is packed with museums and gardens. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also home to lots of the installations for the 1992 Summer Olympics that were held in Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Relax on the beach.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

One of Barcelona\u2019s major attractions? Its miles of beautiful beachside! <\/span><\/p>\n

You can enjoy the city beaches, or take a day trip to Sitges or the wild Costa Brava.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Have a meal at the Boqueria Market<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

This market sits right on the Ramblas, the most famous street in the city. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s packed full of enticing ingredients from all around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can either buy fresh produce and cook up your own gourmet creation, or pull up a stool at one of the many tapas bars inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Take a night out on the town.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

Spain is famous for its nightlife<\/a>, and Barcelona is no exception. <\/span><\/p>\n

The night starts later on here than it does in many other places, and can go until 6 or 7 the following morning. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, maybe take a siesta beforehand!<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Perfect your Spanish<\/a> skills<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

Or, try your hand at Catalan. Did you know that they actually speak two languages spoken in Barcelona? <\/span><\/p>\n

Spanish and Catalan are both the official languages, and locals speak both fluently. <\/span><\/p>\n

Try a language exchange night to meet locals and get the chance to practice at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Get a dose of culture at the museums.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re a Picasso fan or more into modern art, Barcelona\u2019s got a museum for you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Even better, lots of museums are completely free on the first Sunday of the month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure to get there early, though – lots of people know about this deal!<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Have fun!<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n

Studying abroad<\/a><\/strong> is a wonderful opportunity, and it can be a lot of fun. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t pass up the chance to have new experiences or explore new cultures. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before you know it, it\u2019ll be time to head home again – so make the most of it! <\/span><\/p>\n
