Barcelona yacht charter guide 

Architecture

Barcelona’s architecture is unmatched, with highlights including the mesmerizing Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi's most famous work, and Spain’s most visited landmark. Construction on this one-of-a-kind temple started more than 140 years ago and continues to this day, with the central tower of Jesus Christ scheduled for completion in 2026. The Basilica towers over the city and is an absolute must-see. Others include Gaudi’s Casa Batllo, Park Guell, and the Palace of Catalan Music.


Gastronomic dining

Barcelona’s dining scene is one of the most talked about in the Mediterranean. The city is home to more than 30 Michelin-starred restaurants offering a smorgasbord of cuisines, from traditional Spanish fare to Japanese fusion cuisine. Four Barcelona restaurants boast four-star status; Lasarte, Disfrutar, Cocina Hermanos Torres, and ABaC. Ensure your yacht charter broker secures a reservation at one of these top restaurants during your Barcelona yacht charter. Of course, beyond gastronomic dining, Barcelona boasts hundreds of delightful local eateries, a must for sampling the city’s famed tapas dishes, including delicious seafood paella, pan con tomate, croquetas, and patatas bravas.


Designer shopping

Barcelona offers shopping in abundance with refined local boutiques and global designer brands. Passeig de Gracia is a luxury shopping destination with stores like Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada, alongside upscale Spanish brands like Loewe, Tous, Roberto Merino, Eulaila, and Antoni Miro. Another top shopping destination is Avinguda Diagno, with high-end boutiques like Hermes and Cartier. Finally, head to El Born for a more unique shopping experience, with its superb selection of independent boutiques.


Visit Montserrat

Just outside the city of Barcelona lies the multi-peaked Montserrat mountain range, famed for its unique rock formations and breathtaking views. Montserrat can easily be reached via private car or helicopter from your luxury yacht charter, offering a tranquil escape amidst nature. A key attraction is the monastery of Santa Mari de Montserrat and the Santa Cova, where the Black Madonna statue was said to be discovered. Beyond the monastery, you can enjoy picturesque hikes or take one of the funiculars to explore the local flora and fauna.
