Having booked your SilverDoor serviced apartment, it is time to prepare for your trip to Barcelona. We have put together some essential information to help prepare you for your stay in the city.
When walking around Barcelona whilst staying in one of our apartments in Barcelona, it will be clear to see that the whole city is mad about football. When on a corporate visit to the city, it may be worth taking the time to have a tour around the incredibly impressive Camp Nou stadium, or lucky enough to find some hospitality tickets to a match at the stadium.
Barcelona also has some incredibly spectacular architecture on show. One of the world’s most famous architects, Antonio Gaudi, has a wide array of buildings on show. Casa Batlló, La Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell are all fantastic pieces of architecture that are well worth a visit. La Sagrada is a gorgeous church that was started by Guadi in 1982 and is not expected to be finished till 2030. Simply take a walk out of any of our serviced apartments in Barcelona and you will likely be greeted by stunning nearby architecture.
Barcelona is famed for its warm weather all year round, with highs of 29 degrees in the summer and lows of only 8 degrees in the winter, it is clear to see why so many people embark on trips to Barcelona. There is also very little rainfall throughout the year in Barcelona, with a maximum of 6 days’ rain in April.
There are several means of public transport in Barcelona, including the metro, buses, trams and trains. Barcelona has a fantastic option of a ‘Hola BCN’ card, where you can have unlimited trips on any of the transport routes. Whether you need to venture out to the suburbs of Barcelona or travel to the city centre from one of the many serviced apartments Barcelona has to offer, the city’s extensive public transport network is the way to go.
Barcelona embraces cuisine from all types of cultures. When it comes to their local dishes however, they are full of meat and fish plates. Meat and fish paella is normally on the menu at most restaurants and bars in Barcelona, which can be found within walking distance of any one of our serviced apartments in Barcelona; this can also be said for a mixture of pasta meals.
Spanish is the only officially recognised language in Spain, however there are many other forms of dialects spoken locally. These include co-official languages such as Catalan, Basque, Valencian and Aranese. It is thought that only about 19% of the population speak Catalan, with 99% speaking Spanish as their first or second language.
Serviced apartments in Barcelona offer a unique style of corporate accommodation. If you are person who normally stays at a hotel, then there is no reason why you wouldn’t want to stay in one of our Barcelona apartments.

Our serviced apartments in Barcelona are equipped with roomy and stylish kitchens as well as gorgeous living areas, making our serviced apartments a cut above the rest.
Barcelona serviced apartments can also include daily or weekly housekeeping.
