BARCELONA

THE HIDDEN CITY

CIUTADELLA PARK

Barcelona is a vibrant city full of treasures and secrets. Quaint parks, museums and wonderful viewpoints. If you have time to see more, we recommend these places:

PARKS AND GARDENS Wander around the city's parks and gardens and enjoy their magic. Enjoy a boat ride on the pond and see the great ornamental water cascade in Ciutadel- la Park . Lose yourself in the Laberint d'Horta maze garden , the oldest park in the city. If you reach the centre of the maze you will see the statue of Eros. Camouflaged on Montjüic Hill is Joan Maragall Gardens , one of the pretti- est gardens in Barcelona. If you want to take a close look at Mediterranean flora, Barcelona Botanical Gardens has examples of almost every Mediterrane- an plant species as well as activities for children.

SECRET MUSEUMS Strange, fun and marvellous. Here are Barcelona's 'other' museums. Do you like history? Discover the treasures of Tutankhamun in the Egyptian Museum or travel back in time to 19th century Barcelona at the Born CCM (Centre for Culture and Memory). If you fancy something sweet, try the Chocolate Museum . There, besides eating your ticket (which is made of chocolate!), you can discover the his- tory of this delicacy and stroll amongst sweet sculptures. Have fun like a child at the CosmoCaixa Barcelona Science Museum , with its interactive spaces.
