If you're thinking of booking in at a Barcelona hotel but are unsure of how to navigate the city, a great way to start is with a bus tour. You might be keen to see of the Catalan capital's main attractions, and if this is the case, a tour by bus can help you identify which areas you'd like to explore in greater depth. First, you'll need to choose the best hotel for your needs. If you're looking for a central point close to the city's amenities, you might consider the 1898 Hotel Barcelona, which is a five-minute walk away from the main shops, bars and restaurants. The hotel is also reasonably close to the nearest beach and boasts comfortable rooms with en suites, internet access, plenty of pools and extra services such as laundry facilities and massage treatments. But don't spend all your time taking advantage of the services on offer at the hotel. Take a bus tour of the city and discover what is on offer outside your accommodation. Bus trips will take you on a guided trip around Barcelona, where you'll see some of Antoni Gaudi's most famous buildings. You'll stop off at Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, or La Pedrera as it's now known, as well as the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia temple, constructed of which began in 1882 and is still ongoing. You'll also pass numerous neighbourhoods on your trip, such as Gracia and Tibidabo, the latter of which is famous for its pretty blue trams. Take in the sights of the historic monastery of Monestir de Pedralbes, founded in 1326, and the Palau Reial station, where you'll find a ceramics museum. And if you're a football fan you won't want to miss Barcelona Football Club, which you'll visit during your bus ride. Once you've left the bus, you can choose to visit the attractions in greater depth. But don't forget the rest of what Barcelona has to offer, which includes a zoo and aquarium, as well as the Picasso Museum, where you can see the master's works exhibited in chronological order to survey his developing skills over the years.
