When choosing an accommodation in Barcelona, most visitors choose to stay in districts next to the beach. An apartment in Barceloneta for instance, is quite popular among Barcelona visitors.

Barceloneta is especially known for its vitality, plenty of young people and a view at the famous W-Hotel.
For those coming to Barcelona for relaxation and enjoying the climate should take a look at the Barcelona metro plan to reach those beach areas far from the touristic centers. A good tip is to take metro line 4 and follow it until the station Salva de Mar or El Maresme Forum. There, you can even pass along the numerous shops at the "Diagonal Mar" mall.
Are you looking for a safe and relaxed place for your children? Leaving metro line 4 at Llacuna is the perfect location for you. Because of the breakwaters at this beach, the water is very silent and shallow, whereas you will find wilder areas at the "neighbour" beaches.
Whatever you will decide to do, Barcelona has the beach you are looking for - whether calm and relaxing or vivid and exciting.
