I want to cover best of Italy and Spain in 5-7 days in the month of August. I am travelling with family.

Milan is known for its sophistication and heritage which makes it one the most famous tourist city. 

 

 

There are several luxury hotel options in Milan such as Hotel Principe Di Savoia, Carlton Hotel Baglioni and for more options you can visit here

 

On the first day of your visit in Milan you can visit Castello Sforzesco, Via Monte Napolene and Navigli Disrict. 

This place is regarded as the most romantic places of Milan and it offers a great destination for shopping and nightlife for travelers. Navigli District accommodates many cafes, restaurants and bars which makes it the place to enjoy the nightlife of Milan.

 

After experiencing the interesting nightlife at Navigli District you should return to your hotel for a nice sleep.

Duomo Di Milano is the largest in Italy and the fifth largest Cathedral in the world. This cathedral also has a museum and library that features everything regarding the Cathedral. Duomo Di Milano is famous for its attractions on the roof that include breathtaking sculpture, forest of openwork, pinnacles and spires that are delicately set upon the flying buttresses.

 

With this you can call it a day and head back to your hotel as the next morning you need to head to Barcelona.

Barcelona is the capital and largest city of Catalonia and Spain's second largest city. It is a treasure trove of unique blend of Catalan culture, distinctive architecture, lively nightlife and trendy, stylish hotels. 

 

 

There are numerous hotel options of hotels in Barcelona including Center-Ramblas, Inout, and Sun amp Moon Hostel and for more options you can visit here

 

On the first day of your stay in Barcelona you can visit La Sagrada Familia Museum, Catalan Museum of Archaeology and the Gothic Quarter. 

The Gothic Quarter is the center of the old city of Barcelona. The beautiful neighborhood known as the Gothic Quarter is so called because it used to be the Roman village and thus has some remnants of its glorious past. These days because of the constant modernization it is very possible to spot an ancient building right next to one built in the 90s. It is this mix of old and new that brings people from all over the world to stay in the Gothic Quarter.

 

After visiting these you can return to your hotel in the evening and rest for the next day.

Montserrat is a multi-peaked mountain located near the city of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. Montserrat is a spectacularly beautiful Benedictine monk mountain retreat about one-hour North West from Barcelona by train. Not only is Montserrat Monastery of significant religious importance but the natural beauty surrounding the monastery is simply breathtaking.

 

At the end of the trip, you are free to enjoy the evening in one of Madrid’s bars or pubs and after that you can head back to your hotel. 

Barceloneta is the first of the Barcelona beaches and can therefore get quite busy during the summer months. The picture of Barceloneta beach above was taken on 3rd of October, and the sun is still shining! But it's not always like this. Some days can be overcast or even rainy -it's the luck of the draw. The best way to reach this amazing beach is by Metro. The nearest metro station to the beach is "Barceloneta" (Yellow Line, L4). You need to turn right on leaving the metro and cross the main road, continue walking straight along Passeig de Joan de Borbo for about 10 minutes. You will see the marina area on your right as you walk.

 

There are many things to do on the beach besides swim. One can go for windsurfing and kite surfing or you can also enjoy a refreshing drink from one of the many beach huts. Or, if you're in need to relax, just lie down and soak up the warmth of the Spanish sun with a good book.

 

You can spend half a day at the beach and return to your hotel by the evening as you have to head back to Schouweiler the next day.

This is the last day of your trip you need to head back to your home. Make sure you pack all your belongings carefully and reach airport three hours’ prior your flight timings. 

 

I hope the destinations mentioned, according to your interest will lead to a memorable trip. I wish you return with the most exciting experience and memories of your life. 

 

Have a wonderful trip!
