It's not surprising to see why people love to visit Barcelona; the city is safe and has a beautiful culture and people, too. But, the landscapes, the sandy beaches, the vibe, food, and vibrancy offer an all-inclusive package as a tourist destination. So, as a student, you should take advantage of this exotic city and explore its hidden gems during your free time.
Barcelona is also home to many universities and welcomes students from all over the world to study, thrive and have fun. It is a relaxing city that makes anyone feel good and brings out the best vibes in the city.
Here are a few of the top places you should visit while in Barcelona: Mirador de Alcalde
It is a hidden place, and very few people are aware of this location. It is on the highest hill of Montjuic. When you reach the top of this hill, you will get a 360 panoramic view of the city and its skylines. Then, there are cool gardens to hang out, places to eat and a bar for drinks. It is easy to get here, either by foot or by public transportation; you can even get a cable car too!
CosmoCaixa Museum
It is a science museum with 5 floors, and the top attraction is the Flooded Forest. There's a display of animals and a lot of interactive materials for educational purposes. Many seasonal activities go on here. The museum also has a gift shop, restaurant and cafe.
Santa Caterina Market
It is a Neoclassical building blending old and new constructions. Many stalls are freestanding and located underneath the steel and wood structure that supports the roof. You should visit the place if it's close to your student accommodation Barcelona for your grocery shopping.
Gardens of Grecs- Amphi-Theatre
This place hosts many of the festival performances every year. It's got geometric flower beds, a sunny climate, beautiful terraces and a spot to admire the landscape, mountains and the city.

Forum Bathing Area
It's a seawater swimming pool that has an enclosed bathing area. This place will give you a new experience in Barcelona, and there are few people. So, it's not crowded and clean, and you have most of the space to yourself. There are lifeguards, toilets, showers and wi-fi.
Parc de Laberint d'Horta
This park dates back its history, and it is located in the north of Barcelona. It's a two-meter hedge real-sized labyrinth where you can go for an advantage.
Gracia's Plaza
Gracia's Plaza is one of the best neighborhoods in Barcelona. It has charming streets, upscale shops, and architecture buildings. The main squares are Placa del Sol and Placa de la Virreina.
