She added there are a number of places in the city that are especially popular for visitors wanting to soak up the culture.
"The top five cultural hotspots in Barcelona are Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Park Guell, Picasso Museum [and the] Miro Foundation," she said.

Madrid, Puerto Rico and Menorca also featured in the top 20.
