What to do while in Barcelona

During your stay in Barcelona, consider visiting the famous La Sagrada Familia, an unfinished basilica that was designed by Gaudi. You can also go to the popular Picasso Museum, where you will be able to see a large collection of this artist’s work. If you’re hoping to explore somewhere outside of the city, consider going on a day trip, such as to the town of Girona that is about a 1.5-hour drive away.

Summer in Barcelona

Barcelona is known for being hot during the summer months, so use the morning and evening hours to explore some of the city’s many outdoor attractions, like the colorful Park Güell that contains many of Gaudi's sculptures. You can also pay a visit to Montjuïc, a park that is on a hill overlooking the city, providing beautiful views of the surrounding region.

EDIT: The Sixt staff looked into my concern and has resolved the issue. I appreciate them taking the time to look into this even though I didn't expect anything to occur but appreciate them being proactive and willing to try and make my experience better as I use Sixt EVERYWHERE they're available (USA, Germany, Estonia, Italy, etc.). They went above and beyond to do what they could when they didn't even have to, it's definitely something I don't take lightly and shows the reason why I use Sixt. Previously written: Wasn't too thrilled with the process of getting a car. Felt like I was scammed and been using Sixt for YEAR'S and never had this feeling. My reservations were clearly ignore about what insurance I wanted. The car I could should have gotten was going to be 45 Mins and then turns out a car more expensive became magically available and will be faster and turns out to be 18/Day more. I wouldn't be too bad but the car took about 40 Mins, so 5 minutes less than the original rental I requested due to it being an Auto and asked if any other car I could rent but was told no more Automatic. But what got me more, when I was in the garage looking at the other cars and they weren't all Manual like I was told they were. I took a video as I passed by of the Automatics. Not one person entered that place, I find it very difficult to believe they were rented and give to me and go to the other location they did with me (if they really did) and replace it? Very weird. If I didn't like Sixt/+, this would be the last I ever dealt with them but I know they're better in other countries (can't say Spain, only been to one rental store).
