Barcelona is a great family-friendly destination, and it’s the perfect place to enjoy a holiday with your children. Not only can you find a lot of family villas in Barcelona, but there are also 10 beautiful beaches and a number of kid-friendly museums, too! However, there are a few considerations to take into account to ensure your Spain holiday is simple and stress-free, the most important of which is deciding where to stay.

Barcelona’s Districts

Although many people who take a Barcelona holiday love the old city area, including the districts of Sant Pere and Barceloneta, these may not be the best areas for families with very young children. Historic and cobbled, with narrow, winding streets, it may be difficult to maneuver a pushchair in these areas, and the uneven surfaces could increase the risk of trips and falls. Instead,  look into villas in Barcelona outside the city center. These properties will have gardens where kids can play, and some even have private, secured pools.

 

Barcelona’s Beaches

Many kids love spending the day at the beach, but families often prefer quieter areas than some busy and bustling beaches. If the beaches close to the heart of the city sound a little hectic, why not rent a house in Barcelona that’s just a little further down the coast? From Sitges to El Vendrell to Tarragona, these Costa Dorada beaches tend to be less crowded and much more enjoyable for families.

Things to Do

Barcelona’s residents are renowned for their friendly nature, so if you’re not sure if a building is equipped with a lift that is suitable for pushchairs, or for young children, don’t hesitate to ask a member of the staff! Take the kids on a day trip to the Barcelona Zoo or Port Aventura for an afternoon of fun rides as you collect precious family memories.
