Discover Reus by Hire Car
About 1200 kilometres from Freiburg im Breisgau lies Reus, with about 100,00 inhabitants the second largest city in the province of Tarragona and 15 kilometres from the Mediterranean city of the same name.
A hire car will make it easy for you to explore the city of Reus and the surrounding area.
Sights in Reus
Reus, that is Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926). Reus, that is Catalan Art Nouveau in incredible variety. These two predicates already say a lot about the city. Everything in Reus revolves around the preservation of the countless buildings that flaunt their facades, but one hardly gets into the houses themselves on one’s own. Only through the tourist office are organized tours under the heading “Routes of Art Nouveau” into the houses possible.
To learn more about the Catalan form of Art Nouveau, a city tour has been developed. It is well signposted and the most important buildings have information panels.
But all the pride of the city is Gaudi. At the Gaudi Centre you can learn all about perhaps the greatest architectural genius of all time. Audiovisuals show stages of his life: “Reus, Paris, London…. Gaudi. The making of a genius”. The room with mirrored walls behind which you can trace his development is unique: the boiler shop where he learned how to design shapes, or his classroom where he discovered geometry for himself.
Discovering the countryside of Reus
To see its distinctive architecture as well, you should get a hire car and drive to Barcelona, about 100 kilometers away.
On the way back, you can then have a great rest on a Costa Dorada beach.
