Description: Beautiful, compact, easy to use, and with hundreds of full-color illustrations and helpful maps, the Knopf City Guides show you where to stay and eat, what to see during the day and do after dark, where to go for day trips outside the city, how to find the best shopping -- how to get the most out of the city you visit.

The richness and variety of Barcelona's culture (Roman to Catalan) are reflected in the glorious photographs of more than 100 sites -- romanesque, gothic, neoclassic, and modernist -- from the fascinating Gothic Quarter to Antoni Gaudi's amazing feats of architecture, including his great unfinished church; to the spectacular museum devoted entirely to the paintings of Miro. There is a wide range of places to stay, from the Hotel Majestic, with its breathtaking 360-degree rooftop view of the city, to the more modest Peninsular -- once an Augustinian monastery. And the guide covers Barcelona's great variety of restaurants, including Bota Fumeiro, famous for its shellfish, and Brasserie Flo, a former warehouse serving French and Catalan dishes.
