The most romantic places in Barcelona for Valentine’s Day

Between the Gothic Quarter, the viewpoints and the amount of romantic restaurants that are in this city to bring you a list of the most romantic spots in Barcelona has been easy.

Whether you want to surprise your date with flowers, or conquer her through the stomach, the city of Barcelona offers you plans, restaurants, gardens y florists for you to celebrate love as it should be.

In spite of all the gastronomic options, perhaps it is a good idea to organize a slightly different kind of event and original to celebrate Valentine’s Day. That’s why we’ve made this list of the most romantic places in Barcelona where you can go to spend the day (or night):

Let yourself be conquered by the Bellesguard Tower

We won’t say anything about Gaudí that hasn’t been said before, but from time to time they organize concerts in this little-known Gaudí building , which curiously is one of the few in which straight forms and intimate spaces abound.

The only drawback is that you have to pay, but it’s worth it to see and explore Gaudí’s lesser-known work and get away from other more crowded tourist attractions.

The square of Sant Felip Neri and its history

The walls and buildings of this square breathe Civil War history and seem to have been frozen in those days. A setting that takes you back in time will always have romantic and nostalgic airs, so if it’s not too crowded with tourists or you go at night, the lampposts will look like candles instead of light bulbs and you’ll have a perfect intimate place.

Find the love in the Laberint D’Horta

It’s like being transported to the labyrinth of Alice in Wonderland, but without a crazy old woman obsessed with decapitations. This is the highlight but the gardens, with their antique fountains and small waterfalls are not to be missed either.

There’s no shortage of benches and flowers throughout the gardens, so if you want a little more adrenaline for your date, try not to get lost (or find yourself) in Barcelona’s most romantic maze.

Tamarita Gardens a place to surprise your partner

Speaking of Verde (nothing like the great outdoors for bonding), these gardens are little known and very, very cute. Great for strolling hand in hand among its trees and sculptures. 

The sculptures and manicured shrubs may look very stately, but we assure you that it will add even more value to your romantic date.

Tasting menu for two and views at Skyfall

There is something about seeing Barcelona from above that works as a romantic attraction for any special date. If you want to take a lookout to the next level, you can take advantage and arrange a date at a restaurant that has it all: tasting menu and 360 views of the city.

Fabra Observatory one of the most romantic places in the world

From here you can contemplate one of the best sunsets in the city and if you are motivated, spend some time in the old amusement park and even have a drink looking at the stars. 

Stroll hand in hand through Gothic Quarter

The sound of a violin being played by a street musician in the background, streets riddled with mystery, old businesses, remnants of the civil war, architecture dating back to the 13th century. Good place to get lost.

Make a wish in the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

Montjuïc has many emblems known to all, but perhaps its Magic Fountain is what most attracts the attention of visitors.

Let the clichés not decay. If I were to ask my grandparents for advice on how to win over my date , they would recommend this plan 100%.

At the Palace in Barcelona they organize special BSO movie screenings in a comfortable cabin with blankets, cushions and hot water bottles.

Mirador del Alcalde a little known viewpoint

If you don’t like to go to the typical places that everyone knows and you want to surprise your companion, consider this option. Seeing Barcelona from above always gives a sense of intimacy that many choose for a romantic date.

The best viewpoints with panoramic views of the city

And if the previous one doesn’t convince you, here are some other of the best views of the city to enjoy at  couple on your special day.

Sights, attractions and cotton candy at Tibidabo

why do amusement parks have a romantic push that we all feel? They have it, and adding cotton candy to it, will add romance and also that it will never go out of style.

Visit the cathedral or just enjoy the view. Whatever you do, take advantage of the offer of this park, qualified by all Catalans as one of the most romantic places in Barcelona, and even in the community!

If Barcelona is too small for you… get away for the weekend to these charming villages

If there is one thing we can thank this city for, it is that it is full of romantic places as well as being close to the sea, the mountains, and these towns less than two hours away where you can take a little getaway with your partner to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Whether by surprise or planned in advance, any of these rural sites will make you fall in love not only for their nature, but also for their charm, architecture and gastronomy.

Try not to get scared in these abandoned sites

If your partner likes more of a kinky scenario, this city was not going to be less, and offers several abandoned places where to spend more or less scary. Something has the adrelina of movies, cemeteries or places in a state of abandonment, but if your partner is really hard to surprise, this will not leave him indifferent.

A stroll through the promenade over the sea

This summer Barcelona built, on what was formerly the breakwater, a beautiful seafront promenade that is just that, a pedestrian promenade that goes into the sea and that takes us to have one of the most beautiful views we can have of the port.

Few better plans for a winter morning (or a summer afternoon) than strolling to that narrow walkway with transparent floor at the end of the promenade that leads us to walk with the sea under our feet to declare our love to the four winds.

Obviously, a movie session

Nothing more usual for a first date than a trip to the movies. It serves to measure tastes, to have something to comment, to enjoy the proximity, to enjoy the profile of the companion, to know if he eats popcorn (and if not, red flag) or, if it does not go well, at least to have seen a movie. Here are some of the most beautiful movie theaters for you to enjoy a plan as simple as it is effective.
