Barcelona calling! 🏙️ If you crave contemporary art, quirky illusions, and a centrally-located hotel with killer perks, this itinerary will make your heart sing. The best part? Each spot is just steps away from Casa Camper Barcelona—a perfect base for squeezing the most out of the city’s creative pulse.

Must-See Places in Barcelona:

1. Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (Plaça dels Àngels, 1) – For bold, thought-provoking exhibits. Check opening times (usually 10:00-20:00, closed Tuesdays) and budget €101 for admission. My tip: Visit mid-morning to enjoy a quieter vibe.
2. Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (Carrer de Montalegre, 5) – Dive into multimedia installations and local culture. Open 11:00-20:00 Tuesday through Sunday. Great place to cool off and reflect.
3. Museum of Illusions (Carrer del Pintor Fortuny, 17) – Insta-worthy fun with mind-bending photo ops. Open daily 11:00-21:00, ticket costs €126. Tip: Go early or late to avoid crowds; bring a charged phone!
4. Teatre Poliorama (Rambla dels Estudis, 115) – Classic venue for Spanish theatre, open evenings throughout the week. Catch a show for an authentic local experience.

Stay Smart: Casa Camper Barcelona (Carrer d'Elisabets, 11) is a gem. Expect warm staff, spacious rooms, a quiet atmosphere, and free tea/coffee/snacks in the lobby. Their central location means restaurants, metro stations, and major sights are all a short stroll away! If you’re a light eater, consider skipping pricey breakfast and grabbing a pastry nearby.

Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and connects all these spots. Walk if you want—most attractions are within 10 minutes.

Quick Tips: Barcelona is lively but safe in this area. Weather’s pretty mild; pack a light jacket. Cards are widely accepted, but a little cash is handy for snacks and tips.
