Encounters Europe Bringing the classroom to life

Barcelona

Barcelona, the vibrant and historic cultural centre of Spain is a perennial favourite for schools and youth groups. Boasting an amazing architectural heritage of imposing gothic monuments nestled alongside Gaudi’s fantastic creations, this modern and enterprising city is globally recognised for its entertainment, arts, international trade and tourism.

Barcelona has a diverse range of art museums, fine architecture, historic monuments and amusement parks, creating a bustling and lively city. Among the maze of narrow grid patterned streets, which include Las Ramblas, lies Barcelona’s most emblematic symbol, Gaudi’s unfinished Sagrada Familia Cathedral as well as the Parc Güell.

You can be sure that Barcelona will offer you a unique and exciting visit to an energetic city brimming with educational sites and culture.
