But this is very much a 21st century city. While in the mediaeval quarter you have age-old squares, cathedrals and Roman remains, the city is also home to striking modern architecture, state-of-the-art museums and designer shops. This contrast can be seen with the city's hotels, too. You can choose from a converted 18th-century palace in the Gothic Quarter, or an exciting new hotel in an up-and-coming neighbourhood. Whichever one you go for, make sure you explore beyond the hotel's restaurant (if it has one). Barcelona is home to one of the world&rsquo;s most exciting culinary scenes, serving up a wealth of fantastic restaurants and eateries, whether you're after classic tapas or cutting-edge Catalan cooking. Come with a big appetite and thirst to explore.</p></cityDescription><cityHoverDescription/></destinationEntryDetails><metaKeyword>flights to Barcelona, Barcelona attractions, things to do in Barcelona, things to eat in Barcelona, accomodation options in Barcelona</metaKeyword><metaDescription><p>Planning a trip to Barcelona?

But this is very much a 21st century city. While in the mediaeval quarter you have age-old squares, cathedrals and Roman remains, the city is also home to striking modern architecture, state-of-the-art museums and designer shops. This contrast can be seen with the city's hotels, too. You can choose from a converted 18th-century palace in the Gothic Quarter, or an exciting new hotel in an up-and-coming neighbourhood. Whichever one you go for, make sure you explore beyond the hotel's restaurant (if it has one). Barcelona is home to one of the world&rsquo;s most exciting culinary scenes, serving up a wealth of fantastic restaurants and eateries, whether you're after classic tapas or cutting-edge Catalan cooking.
