World Trade Center (WTC) Barcelona is located in the Old
Port (Port Vell) in the city, which has established itself in the last few years as a privileged gateway for business in the South of Europe.
WTC Barcelona offers business people
the possibility of locating their company
in offices, measuring up from 40 square
metres, which are equipped with a telecommunications
network that allows them to contact
any other part of the world.
WTC Barcelona, housed in a complex comprising four eight storey
buildings totalling 130,000 square metres, is the work of the US
architects, Pei, Cobb, Fred & Partners, the authors of, among other constructions, the famous "glass pyramid" at
the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Inside, you can find all the services
necessary for your company, Meeting
Rooms (including videoconference facilities), Exhibition Rooms,
Business Center and Auditorium (capacity
for 430 people) and also a large
commercial area. The complex includes a 273-room hotel and parking
facilities for 800 vehicles.
As a
member of the World Trade Centers
Association (WTCA), which encompasses
300 centers in 91 countries and more than 750.000 associated companies,
WTC Barcelona affords companies
access to a modern telecommunications
system that brings within
easy reach business products, services
and opportunities from half a
million companies around the world.
Barcelona is Spain's hippest, most hard-working city with a beautiful seaside position and a buzzing cultural life.
»Barcelona
at a glance
The
capital of Catalonia, responsible for 20%
of Spain's GDP,
is situated on the northeast coast where it dominated
shipping in the Mediterranean during the 11th-14th centuries.
Alongside beaches, the city boasts great shopping, fabulous restaurants and world-class museums.
Architecturally, Barcelona
is also a thrill - the legacy of Gaudí and Montaner's modernisme (Catalonia's answer to Art Nouveau) is
everywhere - from the Miró-tiled floor of La Rambla to the curvaceous lampposts on Passeig del Graçia.
The 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona provided the perfect excuse to regenerate the industrial port area and to build a large
sporting complex on the top of Montjuic. Since then, the city has become a top European city break, cruise and convention destination, with the fastest growing tourism sector in Europe.
Summers are warm (25°C), winters are mild (10°C).
