Time Out Barcelona

Barcelona barely has time to take down the bunting between its rollicking festivals — when there isn't an all night fiesta happening on the street, there's more likely a party on the beach (only 10 minutes away) and never any shortage of action in its clubs and bars. Gentler pursuits are also myriad: the city's museums have got it all covered from Picasso and Miro to perfume and an outstanding aquarium. Its galleries are among the most avant-garde in Europe, and its history writ large in the churches and perfectly preserved medieval alleyways of the Barri Gotic. Time Out's local journalists give travelers the inside scoop on where to stay, eat, shop and what to see. Suggested day-trips to coast, country, and city are also included.

Time Out's resident team helps you get the best out of the capital of carnival, giving you the inside track on local culture plus hundreds of independent venue reviews. As well as covering visitor essentials, Time Out Rio de Janeiro shows you the best places to sunbath e, shop, samba and (if you really have to) sleep.

A revised guide to Barcelona which concentrates as much on the bars, clubs and restaurants as it does on museums and galleries. It also provides a full guide to the city's wonderful architecture.

Annotation Madrid emerges from several years under wraps to reveal its new facelift. Streets have been prettified, boulevards swept through and transport untangled. This in addition to its perennial attractions, whether your interests lie in spectacular opera productions or chirpy folkloric zarzuela; in cutting-edge cuisine or ancient, tiled tabernas; in designer-shoe shopping or mooching around flea markets. Put together by journalists resident in the city, Time Out Madrid also covers the artistic jewels housed in the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofia, as well as the etiquette of watching a bullfight or joining in with a flamenco performance, plus where to stay and how to escape the city heat.

Features gastronomic goldmines from five-star restaurants like Ferran Adrià's El Bulli to hole-in-the-wall tapas bars. Highlights the best wineries, hiking, beaches, and skiing outside the city.
