Where to go for a weekend in May? TOP 5 places

Where to go in May? To Barcelona, without a doubt! The capital of Catalonia is one of the most visited cities in Europe and a place where you will definitely won't be bored. Why is May a great time to visit Barcelona? At the beginning of May, you will avoid the overwhelming crowds of tourists that visit Catalonia every year during the peak season. You'll also miss the summer heat, which usually hinders sightseeing, and after all, there's plenty to see! The originality of Barcelona makes the city a real treat for fans of architecture. An example is the famous Sagrada Familia church, which is considered a pearl of Art Nouveau architecture. No one needs to be introduced to Park Güell either, designed by the same architect, the famous Antonio Gaudi. How do you recognize his designs? It's simple, Gaudi's buildings look like.... gingerbread huts topped with icing! In addition, amateurs of shopping streets and trendy pubs are sure to appreciate La Rambla and Plaça de Catalunya, while soccer fans will enjoy a visit to the stadium of the notorious Barça, or FC Barcelona - we're talking about Camp Nou, of course!
