Barcelona is one of the leading European destinations for Corporate Events and Conferences
The distinguished city of Barcelona is capital of the Catalonia region, located in the north-easterly corner of Spain, and close to the French borders.
It is the second largest city in Spain, after the capital Madrid. Boasting a communications network which makes the city easily accessible by air, road and sea,
Barcelona also has the advantage of a seafront location and is less than 150km from the Pyrenees Mountains. There are more than 4km of sandy beaches along Barcelona’s coastline,
and an enviable climate provides the ideal location for numerous outdoor activities and corporate events.
The Olympic Games in 1992 put Barcelona firmly on the world map and provided improvements to services and communications with a complete
modernisation of the city. The Games paved the way for an influx of new hotels, restaurants, shops and services, and it has continued to reinvent
itself ever since.
It is therefore no surprise that Barcelona is consistently the chosen corporate travel destination for a vast number of Fairs,
Congresses and International Conventions and Meetings each year. In 2004, for example, the World Culture Forum created the legacy of
yet another new district, fully equipped for conventions and conferences with new hotels and meeting spaces right beside Barcelona’s sandy shores.
It is the uniqueness of Barcelona and its way of life which attracts a wide variety of visitors. From fashion to pharmaceuticals,
Barcelona has everything to create the right event time and time again.
A mixture of the historic and the modern, Barcelona is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city.
Roots which date back two thousand years have developed into a capital of architecture and culture.
The 19th century modernism of the world-famous architect Antonio Gaudi can be found in his numerous buildings across Barcelona,
from the magnificent Sagrada Familia Church to the Casa Mila (La Pedrera) apartment building on the famous boulevard of Passeig de Gracia.
More recent attributes can be found in the legacy of the Olympic Games, on the Montjuic mountain bordering the south of the city, where the
Olympic stadium and the Palau Sant Jordi are both located. Bith are used as major special event venues.
From the mountain top monastery of Montserrat to the Universal Studios Port Aventura theme park,
the region of Catalonia caters to all needs and desires. There are rural castles, seaside hotels,
ancient roman ruins and the famous Salavador Dali museum, proving there is no limit to the possibilities
when meeting your special corporate event requirements.
With the right choice of venue, Barcelona’s charm cannot fail to ensure the success of your corporate event,
making it a truly unique experience in itself.
Let us combine all the interesting elements and venues from our region to ensure you receive only the very best
in corporate event planning and entertainment, and allow the diversity of this city to reflect in your meeting.
