Barcelona is a great city for living or visiting and there are a number of interesting and exciting activities you can try in the city of Barcelona. Below we look at ten ideas.

1. Hot air ballooning is an amazing way to see a city and there are a few companies who offer this in Barcelona. The city is very pretty from the air and it is worth the costs.

2. A very popular event, particularly for groups such as hen party groups and corporate group is karting. There are a few very good indoor and outdoor karting venues in Barcelona and they are well organised and with good facilities.

3. The Barcelona Cycling city tour is another event well worth trying and this really gives you the chance to see the city of Barcelona at ground level and if you wish, with a tour guide. The beauty of city tours is that you get to see the city and main focal points, but also learn some of the history.

4. Barcelona and the surrounding area is excellent for golf. Sitges and Barcelona both have some very scenic courses and with the long spring and summer weather months, there is a good chance that you'll have the weather to match the scenery. The courses for the most part are reasonable inexpensive.

5. Watersports can easily also be attempted in Barcelona, with its mile and miles of coastline. Jet-skiing, water-skiing and para-sailing are all possibilities.

6. Walking is arguably one of the very best things to do in Barcelona because it is by foot by which you will discover hidden streets, interesting alleyways and really get to see the city.

7. Mountain Biking is great to try and the hills of the mountains outside of Barcelona provide an excellent setting.

8. Shopping can also be considered an activity and spending all day on your feet walking around each shop and street can be tiring. Barcelona offers many possibilities for shopping.

9. Wine is big part of Spanish culture and visiting a vineyard or two can be a great way to spend half or a full day.

10. Football is also an integral part of Spanish culture and with teams including FC Barcelona and RCD Espanyol there is the chance to watch live La Liga football.
