You can enjoy strolling in Las Ramblas with all the flower stools and stop for a refreshing drink in any of the many outdoor cafes before going to admire the best gaudi's architecture with the impressive church of Sagrada Familia (look at it in google images if you don't know what it is, it's so impressive! and it's not even finished yet!), Park Guell, Casa Mila and Casa Batllo... If you like football, you can watch a match of Barcelona Football Team (which will be proclaimed the best in Europe in 3 weeks time if we can beat Arsenal) in the biggest football stadium in Europe. But make sure you keep some energy to enjoy the city's night life! Afterward, you can take a break from the big city and go just a few km north to spend a relaxing week in the Costa Brava, where the rocky beaches will leave you speechless and also you'll be able to stimulate your cultural side by visiting Dali's house in Figueres. Also, check out for festivals in the area for the daes you'll be there for, there are literally festivals going on every single week of the year in places not too far from the city.

you have to go to parc guell, el barrio gotic, casa batllÃ³ (really awesome), and climb all the up to the top of la sagrada familia. also barceloneta is fun, although when i went there seemed to be an inordinate amount of topless fat old ladies. if you have a chance take the train to a costal resort town like stiges, even just for the day. the metro connects to the central train station and the ride isnt very long. good luck!

I have been there 3x and can contest that it is a lovely city. Best thing to do when you get there is to take an introductory tour of the city by a local tour company. You can typically arrange these at your hotel.
Then, we you are somewhat acclimated with the city you can wander around and visit some of the attractions that looked most interesting to you. You can spend hours strolling through the Gothic Quarter. Don't forget to visit the Catedral! Then, walk up and down Ramblas just soaking up the atmosphere. Here you will find locals and tourists alike. If you are into the museums, you will enjoy Museu Picasso and Joan Miro. Of course, this is the city of Gaudi and his unusual architecture. Visit Parc Guell to see some and for fantastic views of the city.

If you are into nightlife - how about a Flamenco show???

Whatever you do, don't forget to find a cozy street side cafe and grab a pitcher of sangria or a cup of coffee and just soak up the atmosphere of athis vibrant city.
