The City of Dreams.


Doing an Erasmus in Barcelona is not just about studying abroad. It’s about stepping into a completely new lifestyle, meeting people from all over the world, and creating memories that will stay with you long after the experience ends.


Why Choose Barcelona for Your Erasmus Experience?


Barcelona isn't just a city; it's a lifestyle. It's a vibrant mosaic of culture, history, art, and cuisine, and it's the perfect backdrop for your Erasmus journey and here we will explain to you WHY?


  1. Barcelona is a Cultural Kaleidoscope:

Barcelona is widely considered a student-friendly city, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere where many people feel at home almost immediately. It’s also a young and dynamic city, full of energy, international students, and constant activity all year round. One of its biggest advantages is its human scale: it’s a place where you can walk almost everywhere, making daily life simple, enjoyable, and stress-free. With WELOVEBCN Erasmus Barcelona, students always have something to do: the association regularly organizes activities, trips, and excursions around the region. And that’s a huge plus, because Catalonia has an incredible variety of places to explore—from beaches and coastal towns to mountains and hidden natural spots—making every weekend an opportunity for a new adventure.






  1. A huge international and social student community:

Every year, more than 6,000 international students choose Barcelona for their Erasmus experience, creating a vibrant and diverse global community. The city is home to some of the best universities and renowned schools for art and languages, making it an attractive destination for students from all backgrounds. One of the biggest advantages of living here is how easy it is to make friends—whether it’s at university, events, or even just out in the city, social connections happen naturally. Beyond academics, there is always something going on. From daily events and student meetups to traditional celebrations, Barcelona offers a nonstop calendar of activities. The city is full of life, with frequent local festivals, concerts, and deep-rooted traditions that make every week feel different.



  1. A city full of culture and contrast.

    Barcelona offers a unique blend of history and modernity. Walking through the Gothic Quarter feels like stepping back in time, while the iconic works of Antoni Gaudí showcase the city’s modern artistic identity. From festivals to food, the cultural experience is constant and immersive.



  1. Easy travel and unforgettable excursions.

    Barcelona is the perfect starting point for exploring beyond the city. Its strategic location makes it easy to travel to many nearby destinations, even crossing into France for a quick getaway. The region of Catalonia itself is full of incredible places to discover. From the crystal-clear waters of the Costa Brava to the breathtaking mountains of Montserrat or the stunning landscapes of Congost de Mont-rebei, every trip feels like a postcard. The area is also dotted with charming medieval villages that look straight out of a movie. To make things even easier, WELOVEBCN Erasmus Barcelona regularly organizes trips and excursions to these destinations, giving students the chance to explore the best of the region while meeting new people and sharing unforgettable experiences.
