The activities in the book are designed for kids between 7 and 14 years old - but there are plenty of things in the book that all ages will enjoy.

With the assistance of parents to read and explain, there are plenty of activities that younger kids will love. And with loads of information about the city, older kids and even parents will learn a lot.

Inquisitive kids can read up on the modernist architects. Creative kids can learn to draw in perspective like Picasso. Active kids can count the number of steps it takes to climb to the Palau Nacional.

The kids will show you the city

By focussing in on six key Barcelona highlights, this book offers plenty for kids to do at each highlight. For example, there are seven activities to do at the Museu Picasso. They are organised in the order that you will walk through the museum and they are designed to slow kids down - to stop at particular artworks and look closely.

Kids will spend quality time understanding what they are seeing as the stories of history and background unfold through the book.

It can be a big effort travelling with kids, but this book will re-shape the way your travel. The kids will be dragging you out to explore. They'll point out landmarks, share interesting facts about the city, lead walking tours and tell you about local history.

You'll get so much more out of your time in Barcelona by just packing this travel guide in your kids' backpack.

HAPPY FAMILY TRAVELS.
