Fairytale architecture, enchanted parks, atmospheric bars… love is very much in the air in Barcelona! Here are our top picks for planning a stay with someone special.<\/p>\n

Finding a cosy hideaway<\/h2>\n

\nFirst things first: the hotel. After a long, busy day exploring, you’ll want to find a nice, cosy place to curl up together.\n<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

\nIf you’re on a tight budget, try the Hotel Market<\/a>. Elegant, peaceful and budget-friendly, you’ll struggle to find better value for money. A double room will set you back around €65 a night in low season.\n<\/p>\n

High-end<\/h3>\n

\nThe very chic Ofelias hotel<\/a> is incredibly charming.<\/p>\n

Prefer to stay in the heart of the Gothic quarter? The Vrabac<\/a> is a great choice for spacious rooms with a sophisticated feel.<\/p>\n

Another option is the Axel<\/a>, Barcelona’s iconic gay hotel.\n<\/p>\n

A hotel at the last minute<\/h3>\n

Booking a room at the last minute<\/a><\/p>\n

can also be a good plan, as hotels lower the prices to fill the empty rooms.<\/p>\n

Romantic walks<\/h2>\n

“Traditional” visits<\/h3>\n

\nLooking into each others’ eyes is all well and good, but you might want to see some of Barcelona as well! If it’s your first visit to the city, take a look at our article on Planning your first weekend in Barcelona<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even if you already know the city quite well, you’re bound to find a new area to explore in our article Planning your stay in Barcelona, from a weekend to two weeks.
\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Romantic visits<\/h3>\n

Montjuïc<\/h4>\n

\nA walk around Montjuïc is bound to be romantic, combining nature with spectacular views over the city. A great place for a picnic, or to watch the sunset.\n<\/p>\n

The Horta Labyrinth Park<\/h4>\n

\nThe Horta Labyrinth Park<\/a> is a great place for a magical break from the hustle and bustle of the city.\n<\/p>\n

Eating, tête-à-tête<\/em><\/h2>\n

\nToo in love to eat? Maybe not. Try one of our top picks for romantic meals out…<\/p>\n

La Dentellière, charming staff and creative cuisine<\/a> that make it the perfect place for a romantic meal.<\/p>\n

In this article you will find three romantic, intimate restaurants in the Old Town.<\/p>\n

Even if you’re not staying at Hotel Market, the restaurant<\/a> is still a good option. Given the prices, it would almost be rude not to indulge.<\/p>\n

For a romantic lunch, the Bitxo<\/a> is a little bistro which offers a range of original and tasty tapas. Its retro atmosphere and peaceful vibe are great for couples.<\/p>\n

In the evening, try the La Fianna<\/a> bar and restaurant, with its huge, comfortable couches. You can even eat lying down, if that’s what takes your fancy.<\/p>\n

Escape from it all in an urban hideaway<\/h2>\n

\nWeather permitting, escape from the urban jungle on the flower-bedecked terrace at the Federal Café<\/a>: you’ll feel like you’re out in the countryside, not in the heart of a big city!<\/p>\n

Another great spot for some quiet “us time” is the terrace at the 1898 hotel<\/a>. A true corner of paradise…\n<\/p>\n

Intimate spaces for quiet drinks<\/h2>\n

\nBarcelona’s night life is certainly lively, but there are plenty of quieter places to enjoy a drink with that special someone.<\/p>\n

If it’s a laid-back vibe you’re after, the soft lighting and background jazz music at the Les gens que j’aime <\/a>cocktail bar should do the trick. There’s even a little nook under the stairs to hide away, if it’s not already taken!<\/p>\n

If you prefer the sounds and smells of the sea, try the terrace on the wet deck<\/a> at the W hotel: tasty cocktails and a good atmosphere guaranteed!<\/p>\n

Follow our advice, and you’re likely to leave Barcelona even more in love than ever…<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
