Sunny city

This is one of the best things of this city.The sun shines from March to October, the winter is really short and it rarely snows. In barcelona you can always walk into a park for a break or eat some tapas with your friends in one of the many outside beer-gardens. In summer, you’ll be able to go to the beach as well, which is in a fifteen minutes walk from downtown.

Artistic and cultural history

Barcelona is full of art and history. Walking, cycling or jogging around the city is always a pleasure! If you want to go back in time, we recommend you the Gothic district. Don’t forget to go visit Gaudi’s most famous work, the Sagrada Familia cathedral. But if you want to visit an special area, you have to go to the Born district. This is a trendy neighborhood where you'll find local shops,trendy restaurants and the coolest bars in the city. The streets are full of charm and it is the youngest and funniest part of the city. Studying in Barcelona is the best choice if you really like art, culture and history.

Not far from the Born and the Eixample district you will find the Raval, a neighborhood with Arabic flavour, with full of personality. This is the most multicultural area of the city, which offers a huge selection of tea shops, restaurants and “happy hour” bars. This district has also become fashionable in the recent years, thanks to the wide variety of art studios, galleries and video game stores.

Fiesta

Studying In Barcelona it’s a good opportunity to feel the real fiesta. Because, as all the students know, you need to relax and party after the final exams. There are plenty of clubs where you will find your type of music and people. The only problem will be to choose where to go,because Barcelona is full of bars and discos, but also of life music festivals like Sonar or Primavera sound, and as well, you will be able to go to the festivals of the city. We recommend you to visit the concerts that take place during the Fiesta de la Mercè, on September. You should also visit the fiestas of Gracia neighborhood, where the streets are disguised for a fun and crazy party. But, if you prefer something easier, like a beer or a cup of wine with tapas, you can do it in any of the terraces of the city.

Studying in Barcelona is also a cheap choice. The cost of living in the capital city of Catalonia is inexpensive. You will find affordable prices for public transport in comparison with other cities from Europe and eating out in restaurants is at fair price most of the times.
