Barcelona, et ægte friluftsmuseum
Architects such as Gaudí, Doménech i Montaner or Puig i Cadafalch relied on the help of master craftsmen to fill the streets of Barcelona with fantasy. Works by Gaudí, such as Park Güell, the Palau Güell, and Casa Milà “La Pedrera”, as well as Doménech i Montaner's Palau de la Música Catalana, and the Sant Pau Hospital have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. The temple of the Sagrada Familia (the Holy Family), and houses such as Casa Lleó Morera, Casa Amatller, and Casa Batlló are just a few of the many modernist gems treasured by the city.
One of the main arteries of the historic quarter, La Rambla, leads to the Mediterranean Sea, and it is one of the best places to catch the rhythm of the city. The visitor is led through its different sections, from the Romanesque church of Santa Anna, to the bird and flower stalls, passing gorgeous examples of Baroque and Renaissance architecture on the way. The Palau Moja, the church of Betlem and the Santa Creu Hospital serve as guides. There are other centres of cultural activity and daily life in this area, such as the Palau de la Virreina, (now a gallery), the Boquería Market and the Liceu Opera House.
Barcelona overlooks the sea, and it has a waterfront that encompasses many different artistic styles. Les Drassanes, formerly a dockyard and now home to the Maritime Museum, and the Llotja del Mar are part of the medieval port facilities. Arcaded houses lead to the Ciutadella Park, the Olympic Village and the Port Olímpic. Beaches, piers and an impressive array of museums and leisure centres (such as the Aquarium, the 3D IMAX Theatre, the Colon viewing point, etc.) make Barcelona's seaport a cosmopolitan place, full of life.
Some of these modern facilities are the inheritance from the 1992 Olympics. Their mark can also be seen on the hill at Montjuïc, beside the monumental work from the 1929 World Exhibition. The castle of Montjuïc, (now the Army Museum) takes over this symbolic hill, where true gems of Barcelona's architecture can be found. The Plaça d'Espanya, the Magic Fountain, the Palau Nacional (with the medieval collection of the Catalan National Museum of Art - MNAC) and the Olympic Ring are a few of its most important works. The Olympic Stadium, the Calatrava Tower, the Sant Jordi Sports Centre and the INEFC (Catalonia National Institute of Physical Education) Pavilion, built by Ricardo Bofill, rise among gorgeous gardens.
Barcelona's culture is not only evident in its buildings, parks and outdoor sculptures, but also in its countless museum collections. Artists of the stature of Picasso, Miró, Tàpies or Gaudí, have museums entirely devoted to collect their works. Artistic pieces from all periods are kept in the city's History Museum, the Museum of the History of Catalonia, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Many other institutions also bring the avant-garde movement to the eyes of the general public, through permanent and temporary collections. Sometimes the container is as important as the contents it preserves, and, in the case of buildings and museums, this is true of the collections found in the beautiful structures that the Barcelona Centre for Contemporary Culture (CCCB) and Caixa Forum. The museums of Barcelona, however, cover a wider variety of subjects; namely: archaeology, zoology, science, ethnology, pre-Colombian art and more. A large number of exhibition halls round off this rich and diverse cultural selection.
Barcelona's City Council has created the Barcelona Card especially for visitors; it is valid for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days. Its main attractions are free transport and great discounts on entertainment, museums, and even restaurants. The visitor can also get an Articket, which is a multi-pass allowing entry to the MNAC, the MACBA (Barcelona Contemporary Art Museum, built by architect Richard Meier), the Joan Miró Foundation, the Antoni Tàpies Foundation, the CCCB, and Caixa Catalunya Cultural Centre, located in "La Pedrera", all at a discounted price.
Barcelonas varierede og rige kulturarv danner grundlag for flere spændende ture gennem de forskellige kvarterer. Dette er en god måde at udforske byens mange ansigter på.

Den ældste del af byen, som under romernes belejring var omgivet af en bymur, omfatter i dag kvarteret Barrio Gótico. Her danner smalle stræder, intime pladser og hyggelige bymiljøer rammen om gotiske bygningsværker af civil og religiøs karakter. I kvarteret omkring byens imponerende katedral ligger der flere smukke middelalderpaladser, heriblandt Casa dels Canonges, La Pia Almoina og Casa d´Ardiaca. Rei-pladsen udgør midtpunktet i en labyrint af imponerende bygninger, heriblandt Palau Reial Mayor, Santa Ágata-kapellet og Bymuseet. Sant Jaume-pladsen er hjemsted for byens vigtigste offentlige bygninger, heriblandt Palau de la Generalitat, rådhuset og Casa de la Ciutat. Man bør heller ikke snyde sig selv for et besøg i kirken La Mercè, der er opkaldt efter byens skytshelgeninde.
Ved siden af Barrio Gótico ligger bydelen Barrio de la Ribera, som ligeledes stammer fra middelalderen. Oprindeligt var dette kvarter hjemsted for handlende og søfolk, men med tiden begyndte man også her at opføre prægtige paladser. Nogle af disse huser i dag flere af byens vigtigste museer. Palacio de los Marqueses de Llió (Tekstil- og tøjmuseet), Palau Nadal (Museet for præcolumbiansk kunst Barbier-Müller) og Palau Aguilar (Picasso-museet) er nogle eksempler på dette. Barcelonas integrerende karakter gør, at man på ganske få meter kan foretage en rejse i tiden, fra den gotiske kirke Santa María del Mar til det modernistiske musikpalads Palau de la Música Catalana.
I slutningen af det 19. århundrede blev byplanlægningen af den centrale del af Barcelona, El Eixample realiseret. Et omfattende netværk af retlinede gader med afstumpede hjørner og brede alléer, som forenede de gamle kvarterers irregulære grundplan med de omkringliggende bakker. Det frembrydende catalanske borgerskab opførte her sine fornemme borgerhuse og palæer inspireret af modernismens mest dristige ideer. Arkitekter som Gaudí, Doménech i Montaner og Puig i Cadafalch hædrede brugskunstens mestre og fyldte Barcelonas gader med fantasi. Güell-parken, Güell-paladset og Casa Milà “La Pedrera” af Gaudí, samt Cataloniens musikpalads og hospitalet Sant Pau af Doménech i Montaner er alle blevet udnævnt til verdenskulturarv af UNESCO. Katedralen La Sagrada Familia, Casa Lleó Morera, Casa Amatller og Casa Batlló er nogle af de mange modernistiske perler, som byen er rig på.
Ramblaen, den lange boulevard der fører ned til Middelhavet, er et af de steder, hvor man bedst fornemmer byens puls. Gadens forskellige afsnit fører den besøgende fra den romanske kirke Santa Anna til fuglemarkedet og blomsterboderne, og byder på fine arkitektoniske eksempler fra renæssancen og barokken, heriblandt Palau Moja, kirken Betlem og hospitalet Santa Creu. Andre kulturelle og samfundsaktuelle seværdigheder i dette område er Palau de la Virreina (det nuværende udstillingscenter), Boquería-markedet og Liceu-teatret.
Barcelona er en by, der vender ud mod havet, og langs kysten præsenteres man for en fin blanding af kunstneriske stilarter. Det gamle skibsværft og nuværende søfartsmuseum, Les Drassanes, og Llotja del Mar er begge eksempler på middelalderlige havneanlæg. Søjleprydede facader fører til parken La Ciutadella, Den olympiske by og Den olympiske havn. Strande, havnemoler og et imponerende udbud af museer og forlystelser (heriblandt akvariet, Imax 3D-biografen og Colón-udsigtspunktet) gør Barcelonas havn til et kosmopolitisk område fyldt med liv.
Nogle af disse moderne installationer stammer fra De Olympiske Lege i 1992, en begivenhed, der sammen med de monumentale bygninger fra verdensudstillingen i 1929, har sat sit umiskendelige præg på bjerget Montjuïc. Castell de Montjuïc (Militærmuseet) indtager en fremtrædende plads på dette emblematiske bjerg, der byder på nogle af Barcelonas mest udsøgte arkitektoniske perler. Blandt disse vil vi her fremhæve Plaza de Espanya, Fuente Mágica, Palau Nacional (med middelalderarkivet fra Cataloniens nationale kunstmuseum - MNAC) og Anella Olímpica. Det olympiske stadion, Calatrava-tårnet, sportspaladset Sant Jordi og Ricardo Bofills INEFC-pavillon (Cataloniens institut for fysisk uddannelse) ligger smukt integreret i velplejede parkområder.
Barcelonas kultur afspejler sig ikke alene i bygningerne, parkerne og friluftsskulpturerne, men også i det imponerende udbud af museer og gallerier. Kunstnere som Picasso, Miró, Tàpies og Gaudí har således deres helt eget museum. På Bymuseet, Cataloniens historiske museum, Museet for moderne kunst og Museet for nutidig kunst (MACBA) udstilles kunstgenstande fra alle århundreder. Mange andre institutioner fremviser desuden avantgardistiske værker, både gennem permanente udstillinger og særudstillinger. I Centret for moderne kultur (CCCB) og CaixaForum er omgivelserne af mindst lige så stor betydning som de udstillede genstande. Barcelonas museer byder endvidere på udstillings- og museumstilbud inden for mange andre emneområder, heriblandt arkæologi, zoologi, videnskab, etnologi og præcolumbiansk kunst. En lang række udstillingssteder fuldender byens rige og varierede kulturudbud.
Barcelonas kommune har indført et rabatkort, det såkaldte Barcelona Card, som er gyldigt i 1, 2, 3, 4 eller 5 dage. Gratis transport samt betydelig rabat på museer, forestillinger og restauranter er nogle af fordelene ved dette kort. Man kan også købe en Articket, en slags multibillet, der giver betydelig rabat på entrebilletterne til MNAC, MACBA af arkitekten Richard Meier, Fundació Joan Miró, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, CCCB og Kulturcentret Caixa de Catalunya i “La Pedrera”.
