If Barcelona was a lover, he be the kind of who’d promenade you around this picturesque city by day, whisk you away for the sunset atop the Sagrada Familia and pick you up for a whirlwind adventure on a motorcycle, wining and dining you in a dimly lit cellar restaurant before passionately kissing you under the moonlight. In other words, Barcelona is one of the easiests romantic places to fall in love with.
To make the most of your romantic vacation in Barcelona, be sure to check out our Top 8 most romantic eateries, bars, and experiences in Barcelona:
# 1 Parc de la Ciutadella
Enjoy a sunny day at Parc de la Ciutadella with your sweetheart in the charming gardens, the zoo or the Museu d’Art Modern. Prepare a nice picnic basket with cheeses and wine from a market in el Born, and rent a rowboat to enjoy a romantic moment in front of the ornate cascade.

# 2 Sagrada Familia
Take your heart-throb to see one of Barcelona’s most exquisite architectural feats. Be sure to splurge and buy the ticket allowing access to the spire. From this point, you will have the opportunity to see Barcelona from a unique viewpoint, one which creates a very romantic setting. Tip: Try to go early in the morning to avoid crowds! The opening hours are from 09:00 to 18:00.
For fans of Gaudí we especially recommend our Gaudí Apartments Barcelona.
# 3 The Magic Fountain of Montjuic
You don’t really have to believe in magic to enjoy the Magic Fountain of Montjuic. Bring your lover to see the beautiful fountain show and to experience the lights, colors, and music of the spectacle. Sprinkling water in all directions to a nice variety of music with an array of colors lighting it from the back makes this attraction a sight to see. Locals say the best view is just as the sun sets; the gorgeous back drop to the spectacular show will make anyone happy to have a lover to share the moment with.
To find an accommodation near the Magic Fountain we recommend the following apartments in Sants – Montjuic or apartments in Placa d´Espanya.
# 4 Cadaqués
If you’re keen on spending the day away from the city, we suggest taking a day trip to Cadaqués. It is about a two-hour drive north from Barcelona and the trip is well worth it. Experience the town´s beautiful beaches and coves. Dine at Compartir, a restaurant made for sharing (as the name suggests). It will be a truly unforgettable day.
