Barcelona is one of the most visited destinations in Europe. It’s the most populated city and the most popular city to visit in the country. With one of the best beaches in the world, eight UNESCO World Heritage sites, and a thriving bar and restaurant scene, it’s not hard to see why millions of people vacation there every year.
