In the midst of 2024, anyone who doesn't plan their trips in advance knows that they'll have to rely on the risk of improvisation later on. And no, improvisation doesn't always end well. That's why, even though the Hotel Regina Barcelona boasts a strategic location right in the city center and steps away from the most important tourist attractions, today we want to help you prepare your visit with some of the most appealing plans during these first two months of the year. Barcelona never stops, and this is your passport to the rich array of events that Barcelona has to offer.

Among its cobbled streets and majestic architectural works, there lies a cultural scene so rich and diverse that even Picasso would be amazed. And that's saying something! From the whisper of the leaves in Parc Güell to the bustling noise of the bars in El Raval, here are the six must-do that will make you dance, laugh, reflect, and, why not, fill your Instagram with photos that will shower you with likes.
