These are the list of museum of art and culture centre at Barcelona: CaixaForum, Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona CCCB, Picasso Museum, Contemporary Art Museum Barcelona MACBA, Miró Foundation (major art galleries), Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya MNAC, Tàpies Foundation.  The CaixaForum (Avda.

The CCCB is the 8th most popular of all the museums in Barcelona and has regular exhibitions of widely varying artworks including photos paintings sculptures and frescos from around the World and from different periods. The museum is constantly arranging different exhibitions. The hugely expanded PicassoMuseum (Montcada 15-23) now occupies five Gothic palaces in the heart of Barcelona's old city. The site itself, however, is a pretty duff experience all round. From the default Catalan version choose "La Col.lecció" if you want to see any of Picasso's work. The museu d'Art Comtemporani is the 11th most popular tourist attraction in Barcelona. It displays art mainly from the second half of the 20 th century and includes the works of many great painters. The museum changes its exhibitions every 3 to 4 months - we therefore recommend you check their web site for the up and coming displays. The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) or Catalan National Art Museum is housed in the magnificent palace (picture, right) overlooking the fountains of Montjuich and (a 15 minute walk away) the Plaza España. To be found there are the 11th to 18th century Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque collections. The 19th and 20th century collections are in the Museu d'Art Modern del MNAC (the MNAC's Modern Museum), in the Ciutadella Park.

Driving in France

France is a country located in Western Europe, linked to the United Kingdom by the Channel Tunnel, which passes underneath the English Channel. Driving in France is generally very easy but you do need to be aware of certain travel requirements and basic information, particularly when driving. The French drive on the right and overtake on the left. f you are from the U.K or Ireland however, you will need to take great care in driving on the opposite side. Driving on sidelights is not permitted in France. Lights must be switched on in fog, mist or poor visibility during the day. When driving in France motorists must carry a warning triangle - in case hazard lights are inoperable. In France seatbelts are compulsory front and rear. Children under ten years of age must travel in the rear. If you are on motorcycle, scooter or moped, you are required to wear a helmet; these laws are strongly enforced by police road checks and you will be heavily fined in case of non-compliance. He blood/alcohol limit in France is 50mg. If you are caught over this limit you could face fines of up to 30,000ff and two years in jail. Your license can also be taken off you immediately. The minimum age for driving in France is eighteen, and your UK insurance will give automatic third party cover. Roughly is about half a kilometers before every speed camera in France, there is a large prominent sign, either to the side (right) or in the centre of the road, which occurs sometimes on dual carriageways or motorways. The location of each camera is identified by the government, and there are online maps and lists. Be aware that urban speed limits begin at the town or city sign (not always where the first 50km/h sign is situated), usually denoted by a white name panel with a red border, and the limit ends where the name panel has a diagonal black bar through it. UK registered vehicles displaying Euro-plates (circle of 12 stars above the national identifier on blue background) no longer need a GB sticker when driving in European Union countries. There are plenty of hotels available for road travelers at the last minute across all of France or in four of France's major cities hotels like Paris Hôtels, Marseilles Hôtels, Toulouse Hôtels, and Bordeaux Hôtels.

Driving with “Low Emission” Sticker in Berlin

Berlin is the largest city in Germany and one of the 16 states (Länder) of the Federal Republic of Germany. All main roads and motorways join the Berliner Ring, or the A10, from which you can access the inner city. The city motorway is usually very crowded during rush hour. Travelers, who do not like to be affected on individual mobility and do like to explore Berlin by car, will be surprised in a pleasant way. Compared to other large cities Berlin emerges as a comparatively car friendly town. Although there are traffic jams during rush-hour, the streets of Berlin are not too busy and well drivable. As of January 1, 2008, Berlin requires all cars to have a "Low Emissions" sticker in order to enter the city center (Low Emission Zone, "Umweltzone"). Information on obtaining a sticker (which must be done at least several weeks in advance) is available here.

High-speed vehicular traffic has a long tradition in Germany given that the first motorway in the world - Autobahn, the AVUS, and the world's first automobile were developed and built in Germany. Germany possesses one of the most dense road systems of the world. German motorways have no blanket speed limit. However, posted limits are in place on many dangerous or congested stretches as well as where traffic noise or pollution poses a problem. In many areas of Berlin you need to purchase parking tickets. Parking between 9 am and 6 pm or 8 pm is liable for costs in most inner city areas, whereas in certain parking zones this period is extended until midnight, e.g. the area around Rosenthaler Strasse. A big advantage of these parking zones is that - compared to other huge cities - it will be quite easy for you to find a parking space in Berlin's city centre. Numerous parking places and parking blocks also do facilitate car parking.


The national roads in Germany are called Bundesstraßen (means, federal road). A Bundesstraße is often referred to as "B" followed by its number, for example "B 1", one of the main east-west routes. More important routes have lower numbers. Odd numbers are usually applied to east-west oriented roads, and even numbers for north-south routes. Bypass routes are referred to with an appended "a" (alternative) or "n" (new alignment), as in "B 56n". Other main public roads are maintained by the Bundesländer (states), called Landesstraße (country road) or Staatsstraße (state road). The numbers of these roads are prefixed with "L", "S" or "St", but are usually not seen on direction signs or written in maps. They appear on the kilometers posts on the roadside. Numbers are unique only within one state. Meanwhile traveling in Germany, you can stay in four of Germany's major cities hotels, Berlin Hotels, Frankfurt Hotels, Köln Hotels and Munich Hotels.
