10 Best Things to Do for Couples in Barcelona

The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc is a stunning display where you and your partner can see vibrant colors displayed in massive fountains of water. The lights are just a part of the magic, however, as this fountain also boasts impressive water acrobatics, motions and music.

When this fountain shows off its colors at night, it tends to draw crowds. If you want the best view, you may want to arrive a bit early to secure a spot up close. You'll find this fountain in Parc de Montjuïc in Sants-Montjuïc.

Flamenco shows are among the most unique experiences you'll find in Barcelona where you and your partner can enjoy stunning dance performances. While flamenco originated in Andalusia, Catalonia has its own unique history with flamenco, and you can see it in action at a show in town.

You'll find plenty of different shows available around town. They're often held in venues called tablaos, which are specific places designed for flamenco shows. Many shows tend to be found in the more historic neighborhoods of town, but you'll find them virtually anywhere.

A Port Vell sunset cruise is a great way to end a day in Barcelona with your partner as you take in the stunning views of the water and horizon. You'll find several different cruises available around the port, and they all have something special to offer.

When you embark on a cruise, you'll find options for sailboat yachts that offer a much more adventurous experience. Most cruises take about 2 hours and offer complimentary beverages and snacks. You'll find these cruises at the Port of Barcelona.

The Parc del Laberint maze is a fun destination for couples who want to explore a massive hedge maze in a historic garden park. The maze is housed within the oldest park of its kind in the city and features many trimmed cypress trees.

When you get to the center of the maze, you'll be rewarded with a stunning statue of Eros, the Greek god of love whose Roman counterpart was Cupid. You'll find this maze and its surrounding park in the Municipality of Horta-Guinardó on the northern side of Barcelona.

Having dinner at the Fabra Observatory is one of the more unique experiences in town where you can enjoy stunning views no matter where you look. Look up, and you can see shining stars through the telescope, while looking down will greet you with illuminated views of the city.

The food here is positively Mediterranean and absolutely delicious, made only with quality, locally sourced ingredients. After you eat, you can enjoy a more in-depth tour of the observatory and its fascinating history. You'll find it all on Tibidabo mountain by Parc Natural de la Serra de Collserola.

The Kiss of Freedom mural is an iconic and romantic destination in town that depicts a massive image of a kiss made up of a mosaic of smaller photos. Each of the smaller photos is meant to represent an expression of freedom, and most were sourced from locals.

When you visit this mosaic, you'll immediately find yourself immersed in the sheer expression of thousands of people. Like the plaque next to the mural says, "The sound of a kiss is not as loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer." You'll find it just northwest of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

The Bunkers del Carmel are old anti-aircraft fortifications that have long been decommissioned and now serve as incredible viewpoints that you and your partner can enjoy. When you climb to the top of these hilltop ruins, you can gaze out and take in the entire city.

Despite dating back to the 1930s, these ruins are still safe to visit and traverse, with some renovations being done in the early 2000s as the spot grew more popular with romantic couples. You'll find it just west of Parc del Guinardó.

Bogatell Beach is an iconic destination in Barcelona that's perfect for couples with its inviting waters, soft sands and opportunities for water sports. It's also located next to green spaces with walking paths and gardens.

When you visit this beach, you'll find plenty of convenient amenities including spaces for volleyball, soccer and table tennis. Additionally, you'll find sun loungers and beach umbrellas available as well as kiosks for ice cream and beverages. The beach is located on the southern coast of Sant Martí.

Verdi Movie theater is a historic movie theater that has managed to keep up with the changing times without sacrificing its arthouse character. You and your partner can watch a movie here to explore the world of independent movie theater rather than the blockbusters and musicals typically found in a modern theater.

One of the best perks of this destination for cinephiles is that it shows a variety of international movies without voice dubbing, opting for subtitles instead, so the passion and delivery of the actors aren't lost. You'll find it all on the north side of Vila de Gràcia by Joanic Metro Station.

Spanish cooking classes held in English and Spanish are available throughout Barcelona where you and your partner can learn Spanish and Catalan cooking skills. Quite a few can be found around town, so you won't have to go very far no matter where you've booked your stay.

The best cooking classes utilize fresh ingredients and techniques designed to awaken your senses, as it's always easiest to remember skills with a strong sensory association. Additionally, these classes have a laid-back atmosphere, so they're as fun as they are educational.
