 Barcelona

Barcelona.... a city where you can live to the full, both day and night

Barcelona, capital of the autonomous community of Catalonia, is after Madrid the second biggest city in Spain. It is situated in the South of Europe and in the North of Spain, very close to France (approx. 150 km. to the French border). It has a population of approximately 1.600.000 inhabitants. Barcelona is placed between two rivers, the Besos to the north and the Llobregat to the south, and between the mountain of Collserola to the east and the mountain of Moiltjuic and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. The surface area of the city is 99 square km. and its coastline stretches for 13 km. Barcelona is a city with more than two thousand years of history and one of the liveliest urban centres in the Mediterranean and European world. It offers a wide range of cultural and leisure activities. The 1992 Olympic Games brought a spectacuiar urban transformation, which opened the city to the sea, modernised infrastructures and services and revitalised many areas which had fallen into decay and disuse. After the Olympic event, the city's dynamism did not stop. Today Barcelona is a city in which the preservation of its rich historical heritage combines with a continual renovation.

In the cultural and leisure world, the city offers a wide range of diverse and attractive activities. This includes architectural and artistic treasures such as the Gothic quarter, modernist jewels such as the Park Guell, la Casa Mila7 la Casa Batllo, el Palau de la Musica or the Sagrada Familia, and artistic centres such as the museum of Catalan Art, Picasso museum, the Miro Foundation or the impressive museum of contemporary art. Added to that, the city also possesses beaches, parks, restaurants, theatres and an endless network of streets, squares and boulevards. Wandering around them is a fantastic voyage through history and will undoubtedly seduce the visitor with its unique mixture of vitality and hospitality.

 

Language

Two languages are spoken in Barcelona: Castillian, the official language for the whole of Spain, and Catalan, a language derived from Latin, the official language in Catalonia. English is spoken in hotels, and in most of the shops and restaurants.

 

Congress location

Barcelona's Congress Centre (Palacio de Congresos) and Hotel Fira Palace just opposite from the Congress Centre.
The Palacio de Congresos is located in the historical fairgrounds of Barcelona, almost downtown and only 15-20 minutes from the airport. It enjoys quick access to the historical, cultural and commercial center of the city. It is surrounded by many hotels in various categories of which some are less than 500 meters from the Conference Centre. The modern underground and bus network connects the Plaza Espana, a few hundred meters from the Conference Centre, with the rest of the city. There are two underground lines (red and green) that have stops at the Plaza Espana which connect it with the majority of hotels.
