Romantic plans to do in Barcelona with your partner
Although the city of Barcelona is not recognized as 'the city of love', it can be one of the most romantic places in the world if you know where to go and what to visit.
If you are planning a romantic getaway or an original weekend as a couple, we recommend these places for you to meet during your stay and live a movie experience with that special person. Take note!
• One of the best plans as a couple in Barcelona is to visit the Mural El Beso , located in the Gothic quarter, a few meters from the Barcelona Cathedral. Created by the artist Joan Fontcuberta, this mosaic collects 4,000 photos sent anonymously under the concept of 'freedom'. A romantic plan in Barcelona ideal to make some stories , in pairs, with this wonderful background. And the best thing, if you stay at Casa Lit Bcn by Ona Hotels or Mosaic by Ona Hotels , it's super close!

• If you are looking for a romantic plan in Barcelona, you have to visit Montjuic Park, which in addition to being one of the green lungs of the city, has beautiful corners to explore. High above is the Mirador del Migdia , an area surrounded by pine trees, where you can have a picnic while you watch the sunset with beautiful views of the city. If you are more in the mood for a romantic dinner, next door is La Caseta del Migdia, ideal for eating something delicious with incredible scenery.
• And taking advantage of the visit to Montjuic, you can experience one of the most famous light and music shows in the area, that of its Magic Fountain , a show of dancing waters to the sound of songs that hypnotize everyone who attends.

If the trip is longer and you have more days to enjoy together, we detail how to complete it:
• Another great place to enjoy activities as a couple in Barcelona, where you can admire the views and walk its paths hand in hand, is Park Güell .

• There is nothing more fun than visiting an amusement park with your partner! In Tibidabo Park you can walk through its green area and ride its roller coaster or get on the plane together to have a laugh. Or imagine the cute moment of getting on the Ferris wheel and admiring the landscape with your arms around each other. An adventure and an original activity together!

Hotel or Apartment: what type of accommodation to choose?
Just as William Shakespeare asked himself: to be or not to be?, when planning our vacations we ask ourselves: Hotel or Apartment? That is the question.
The world of hospitality is full of endless options! That is why today we will tell you the advantages and disadvantages of these types of accommodation , so that you can have a clearer idea when you start planning your trip. Shall we start?
In a hotel, you will only find your room and bathroom. Some rooms have a desk, a sofa and a television away from the bed, but always in the same space.
In the apartments you have different environments: dining room, living room, fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom. More space = More comfort.
The hotel is a great option for a weekend getaway or a short trip. Above all, for those who plan to use the room only to sleep and wash, but are out all day visiting.
An apartment , on the other hand, is the ideal choice for long stays, for families and couples who, as we mentioned before, choose to cook and live in an apartment, to feel at home. Quiet dinner, favorite movie or series and rest for tomorrow to continue visiting? plan!
In the hotels we are governed depending on the hours of reception, breakfast, dinner and cleaning of the room.
When choosing an apartment, you can totally go your own way. A brunch at 12? Great option. And on top of that, if you choose an aparthotel, you have the best of each: the possibility of being in an apartment, but having breakfast at the hotel buffet. Or make breakfast in the apartment, but stop by the restaurant and take a take away to eat there. The perfect flexible combo for the holidays!
A hotel room denies us the possibility of cooking, forcing us to eat out every day or opt for a half-board plan to eat inside the hotel.
The apartment allows us to make all our meals inside it, thanks to the fact that the kitchens are fully equipped. This type of accommodation is ideal for those who prefer to save a little in restaurants, take food for excursions or enjoy the views of the apartment on the seafront while dining . And as we said before, if you are in an aparthotel and one day you don't feel like cooking, you can enjoy dinner right there. Goal!
These two types of hotels have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is purely personal, depending on what you are looking for on vacation. Here you can find different options offered by Ona Hotels whether you are looking for a hotel or an apartment.
Statistically, apartments are the options most chosen by Spanish families as well as internationally, who travel for a long time during their summer vacations, especially in coastal areas. Although at Ona Hotels they also ensure that families enjoy the hotel accommodation experience to the fullest.
And you? Are you already clear about what types of accommodation to choose during your vacation preparations? Hotel or apartment?

Or make breakfast in the apartment, but stop by the restaurant and take a take away to eat there. The perfect flexible combo for the holidays!
Kitchen or hospitality:
A hotel room denies us the possibility of cooking, forcing us to eat out every day or opt for a half-board plan to eat inside the hotel.
The apartment allows us to make all our meals inside it, thanks to the fact that the kitchens are fully equipped. This type of accommodation is ideal for those who prefer to save a little in restaurants, take food for excursions or enjoy the views of the apartment on the seafront while dining . And as we said before, if you are in an aparthotel and one day you don't feel like cooking, you can enjoy dinner right there. Goal!
These two types of hotels have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice is purely personal, depending on what you are looking for on vacation. Here you can find different options offered by Ona Hotels whether you are looking for a hotel or an apartment.
Statistically, apartments are the options most chosen by Spanish families as well as internationally, who travel for a long time during their summer vacations, especially in coastal areas. Although at Ona Hotels they also ensure that families enjoy the hotel accommodation experience to the fullest.
And you? Are you already clear about what types of accommodation to choose during your vacation preparations? Hotel or apartment?
