Our Barcelona campus business school is located in the heart of the city at the BTH Business & Technology Hub. This city has been considered as one of the best cities in the world in a ranking that includes the 50 best cities on the planet such as Venice, Sydney, Cape Town and Lisbon.
Surely the reason Barcelona achieves so much recognition is because of its “relaxed pace, endless months of sunshine, unrivaled food and the cultural and design influence of almost any city in the frozen north” as stated in the Telegraph Travel article, which says that “There’s no other place like this”. Arguably, this is because this vibrant and aesthetically beautiful city encompasses all the charms of other Mediterranean cities.
Barcelona’s strengths include the home of several UNESCO World Heritage-listed architectural gems, 19 Michelin-starred restaurants, the airport which is located just a few kilometers from the center, a coastline full of beautiful beaches, more than 30 5-stars hotels, the inclusive LGBTQIA scene, the city’s low-emission credentials and street cleanliness, and the safety and security that it offers to its residents and visitors.
¿Did you know that some of the city’s iconic buildings are considered as certain jewels of modernisme by Antoni Gaudí and the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site?
Some of these iconic buildings include La Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, Casa Vicens, Casa Milà (La Pedrera) and Palau Güell.
As for historical architecture, the city is absolutely drenched in it, from the XII century neighborhoods scattered throughout the city such as the Jewish quarter to the 188 meter lookout point of the Collserola Tower. All of these emblematic buildings plus the 100 plus museums that are located in the city, helps to keep the historic charm of the city alive.
According to the study conducted by Telegraph Travel, Barcelona was awarded a total of 588 out of the 810 possible points in categories such as culture, history, architecture, food and security, making the city the winner chosen by all the readers and writers of this travel magazine.
