Hi!...

Visiting Barcelona with teens can be exciting as there are plenty of things that they might enjoy. Of course it depends on their likes but... some ideas:

• Walk among sharks at the AQUARIUM
• Watch street human statues at the bottom of LES RAMBLES
• Let's get dirty at the CHOCOLATE MUSEUM
• Enjoy the wildlife at the ZOO DE BARCELONA
• Living like the ancient Romans at the CITY HISTORY MUSEUM (MUHBA)
• Learn and play at the MUSEU D'HISTORIA DE CATALUNYA
• Watch football at its best at CAMP NOU home of FCBARCELONA
• Touch everything, yes go ahead... at COSMOCAIXA, SCIENCE MUSEUM
  
• Thrilling rides from the past at the TIBIDABO fair
• Ice-skating all year round at FC BARCELONA ICE RINK
• Looking down from the sky riding the CABLE CARS
• Sound, light and music at the FONT MÀGICA
• Go back to the Middle Ages at POBLE ESPANYOL
• Can you find your way out at the LABERINT D'HORTA, THE MAZE

PS... it's GrAnada :)... Grenada is a small island in the Caribbean

...needless to say that there are plenty of other attractions that, while not specifically targeted to teens/kids, they'll surely like as well. Have a look here: Barcelona Tourism Board for one hundred reasons to visit Barcelona and also at Infocatalonia.eu -for peeking a bit what some of the proposals are all about.

We are doing 5 days in Sevilla and 5 in Barcelona with our kids (13 and 11) in June. We have found more than enough to keep us busy in our planning. We did book quite a few tours just to avoid the lines at the major attractions.
