Barcelona£178 The more pundits insist Barcelona’s star is on the wane, the more popular the city becomes.

In Castello district. Facing a narrow canal 300 meters (328 yards) from St Mark's Square crowds, this 15th-century Venice palazzo offers a tranquil haven in the quiet Castello residential district.
