The best alternative plans in Barcelona

2023-02-28

Although it is one of the most popular destinations at any time of the year, now that the good weather is starting to come, Barcelona is the perfect city to visit in a couple of days.
In this post we bring you the best alternative plans in Barcelona so that if you've already visited it a couple of times, you can still get to know this wonderful city that has so much to offer.

Parc del Laberint d'Horta

We start with the Parc del Laberint d'Horta, a park in the Horta-Guinardó neighbourhood just outside the city centre. Inside is the renowned Laberint d'Horta, a labyrinth that is the perfect place to disconnect for a couple of hours.
It is a neoclassical garden with Italian influence that has ended up as a romantic garden, is the oldest in the city and is very well-preserved.

Casa Vicens

Because Barcelona is known for its architecture, you are probably familiar with Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, among many others. But there are more buildings with great architectural and cultural value that are worth visiting, and one of them is Casa Vicens. It is located in the Gracia neighbourhood and was one of Gaudí's first major works, so it couldn't be missing from this list of the best alternative plans in Barcelona. As in many similar works, you will have to buy a ticket to visit it.

Pabellón Alemán

If you like architecture and art, another must see is the Pabellón Alemán by Mies van ver Rohe on Montjuic mountain. It was a key building representing Germany at the 1929 International Exposition, a key event in the transition to the Barcelona we know today and a clear representation of the Modern Movement.

Tibidabo

Tibidabo is the highest peak of the Collserola mountain range. It offers views of Barcelona, there is an amusement park with the same name ideal if you are travelling with children, and you will also find the Church of the Sacred Heart. A neo-Gothic ensemble that can be seen from afar from any part of the city, it's time to visit it up close!

Museums

MNAC, MACBA, Museu Picasso de Barcelona, CaixaForum, CosmoCaixa, MOCO, Fundació Joan Miró... If you have already visited them all you can skip this point, if not, you can book an appointment to visit all the ones you are missing. Barcelona has a wide variety of museums of different movements and styles that hide authentic works recognized worldwide, so this is undoubtedly one of the best alternative plans in Barcelona (or not so alternative!).

At Resa Inn you can find many accommodations scattered around the city of Barcelona. We present you some of them!

Resa Investigadors is located right in the centre of Barcelona, next to the Rambla del Raval, just 250 metres from Las Ramblas, the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA) and the Liceu metro station, and only 200 metres from the famous La Boqueria market.

Fancy staying near the sea? Resa Campus del Mar is located in the district of La Barceloneta, the old fishing district of the city, less than 5 minutes from the beach and where all the action is: close to the Ciutadella Park, the Olympic City and the Olympic Port.

Nearby is also Resa La Ciutadella, so called because it is right next to the Parc de la Ciutadella, the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city and, at the same time, be close to the beach and the good atmosphere. Although, this accommodation is only available from July onwards.

Are you going to see Barça play? Then Resa Torre Girona is your clear choice, as it is just a few minutes' walk from the stadium. It is located in the upper area of the city, 600 metres from Avenida Diagonal, which is home to a wide variety of shops and restaurants.
