ERS

The city of Barcelona

Barcelona hosts ERS 2026. It is the capital of Catalonia and the second-largest city in Spain after Madrid. The city sits on the Mediterranean coast and offers a mix of culture, history, and modern life.

Visitors can discover the famous works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner across the city. UNESCO lists many of these buildings as World Heritage Sites. In addition, art lovers should visit MACBA, Barcelona’s museum of contemporary art. The city also features many museums, exhibitions, outdoor sculptures, and live shows. Therefore, visitors can enjoy music, theater, and dance events throughout the year. Barcelona is also known for its excellent food. Local chefs mix traditional recipes with modern ideas to create fresh and creative dishes. Restaurants serve fish, vegetables, sausages, olive oil, and other Mediterranean specialties. Moreover, traditional sweets and sparkling wines offer a great introduction to local flavors.

We are closely connected with various hotel partners worldwide and can make suitable offers to you for groups of 20 persons and above at any time. Of course, we also support you with all other ground handling services. Please send your request for the ERS 2026 to congress@mr-congress.com
