My wife and I are considering a trip this year to Barcelona with our two kids (11 and 14 at the time of the trip). First time for 3 of us to travel to Europe.

Does anyone have recommendations or thoughts? Assume we've researched most of the major tourist attractions. I'd love some local insight.

Also considering a train trip from Barcelona to Paris, and then flying back to US from Paris.

Hi Dane, not a local but been there 3 times.

Since you've researched the offical gems I'll spare you my thoughts on those.

Once you are in BCN please consider to travel to Valencia. This is a truly hidden gem among the big spanish cities. It's a short train ride and you'll see another beautiful city - in my point of view the most stunning one (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia).

Here you get an idea (it's in german, but google translate will cover you)

Re your train ride to Paris. Not sure why not use the plane because it'll save you time. #my2cents #travel #Europe #barcelona #valencia
