The Best of NileGuide
-
Centered between the beach and the mountains, Barcelona is truly one of the most optimal living destinations, especially for those more inclined towards the 'outdoorsy' and active lifestyle.
Our number one pick for active things to do in Barcelona is not only a great work out but extremely romantic. Barcelona's sunset bike tour is an excellent way to take in the city's highlights and major landmarks, and if you do it during the evening you can finish the ride while watching the sunset.
If you're keen for speed then step it up and do a Barcelona scooter tour. Our number five pick is an exceptionally entertaining and ideal way to see the city and it's surrounding areas. This is especially a good idea during the summer where you can venture out to some of Barcelona's less touristy beaches, only 20 minutes away by scooter.
Our number ten pick isn't exactly 'active' however it's definitely a worthwhile activity and can leave you feeling tired and 'overworked' once you're finished. Xocoa chocolate store is renowned for it's mouth watering desserts, perfect for entertaining children for a few hours...as long as you can endure the sugar high!
