5. Take a Paella cooking class

Taking a cooking lesson with a Spanish chef to learn how to make the perfect paella and create the best sangria is another cool thing to do in Barcelona. Of course, one of Spain's defining specialties is paella, a large tray of rice with meat, seafood, or vegetables (or all three) meant to be shared.

Tip: This is a fun activity to do especially if you're on a solo trip!

6. Visit Sala Gimbernat

Sala Gimbernat is not only one of Barcelona's most neoclassical structures but also Europe's most important and well-preserved anatomical amphitheater. Bright crimson cloth covers the walls, and towering wooden chairs create a semi-circle around a marble operating table in the room's middle.

Tip: If you are interested in medical facts, this is a great location to visit.

Bunkers of Carmel

7. Enjoy views at Bunkers of Carmel

These lonely and abandoned anti-aircraft defenses have become one of Barcelona's most picturesque vistas where you can come to get a birdseye view of Barcelona. The bunkers atop Turó de la Rovira hill were built as anti-aircraft defenses during the Spanish Civil War in 1938.

Tip: The Bunkers of Carmel is a great place to have a picnic as you take in gorgeous views.
