The open top bus tours are the best way of getting around Barcelona. There are three interlinked routes, the main two of which set off from the Placa de Catalunya. They take you to all the major attractions like Casa Battllo, La Pedrera, Sagrada Famillia, Park Guell (the main Gaudi buildings), the palaces, the Camp Nou, the Olympic park etc. And it's dead cheap. If the weather's good, use these buses if you can because it'll be too hot on the metro.

Several ticket offices on La Rambla

A delightful restaurant down on the Rocks serving beautifully fresh fish and other quality Aussie produce with innovative and Asian twists. Try the six tastes, fresh from the sea. Also, if you can, sit in the bar area not the main restaurant: from here you can see the kitchen at work!

A restaurant above the world-famous cookery school where the waiters are chef's in waiting and the food is spectacular. You have to order your dessert as you order your starter and mains to give them time to construct the little pieces of art. It's a cracking little restaurant in the coolest area of Barcelona. Ignore the photo's of celebs on the wall and enjoy modern catalan cuisine with an artistic edge. Approx £50-60 per head.
