Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in Barcelona, it's a super lively place with lots of young people, fusball, dart, pool-tables and BIG towers of beer for cheap!
The place looks like an old, rustic barn but is located in the heart of the city!

Sightseeing
Walk up the Montjuic mountain and see the STUNNING greek theatre and its beautiful garden. Plus, you'll have breathtaking views over Barcelona from this spot.
It's only a 20-minute walk from the apartment and still "in the city", but it feels like you're in a secret garden overlooking the city and ocean.
