Visit the Sagrada Família
Antoni Gaudí himself would call leaving Barcelona without visiting the Sagrada Familia a cardinal sin. The Basilica, which has been under construction for more than 140 years, is crowned as one of the most iconic monuments of the city
The majestic architectonic figure is a religious monument full of details that try to transmit in the most beautiful way possible the major chapters of Christianity and nature.
The interior of the Sagrada Familia has the capacity to leave even those who have seen much of the world speechless.
It is not a typical Basilica. In fact, it is quite the opposite. It will exceed your expectations. It is unlike anything you have seen before and its stained glass windows are worth seeing.
The colors have a distinct tonality within the Sagrada. The warm colors will capture your attention with a contrast to the cool ones that blend to create a perfect combination.
Are you really going to miss a once in a life time opportunity to visit this majestic landmark?
Visit the Park Güell
Unlike other cities, Barcelona has the great fortune of being able to count on both maritime and mountainous landscapes. On one of the city’s highest hills is another Gaudí masterpiece: Park Güell.
Benefits
- Expand your knowledge
- Discover a different culture
- Enjoy art
The Park Güell is one of the most popular monuments in Barcelona. And the truth is that Antoni Gaudí created an architectural marvel. Many tourists fly to the capital with the sole purpose of witnessing the impressive park with their own eyes.
It is as unique as the story of its construction. Aren’t you intrigued to discover why Park Güell keeps its original English name?
While you get to know all the stories that inhabit the Park Güell you can enjoy privileged views of the city.
Strolling through Barceloneta
But, as much as the modernist architecture is spectacular, vacations are also for disconnecting and enjoying life.
Life is good with a cocktail in your hand while watching the sunset with the Mediterranean sea breeze hitting your tanned face.
The Barceloneta neighborhood —also known as the fishermen’s neighborhood, due to its proximity to the sea—can offer you all that and more!
It is one of the favorite places for tourists and athletes; it is an ideal place to take a walk with your family, eat a good ice cream or run your daily kilometers, although you will probably have to stop more than once to admire the wonderful views.
The different shades of blue of the sky and the sea merge into a near horizon that will make you reflect on how lucky you are to be witnessing this beautiful phenomenon.
Visit Picasso Museum
And, if otherwise, you are passionate about art and your ideal plan is to acquire new knowledge and be impressed by the skill of the greatest artists, you can not miss the Picasso Museum.
Many are surprised to learn that Picasso spent part of his life in Barcelona, walking, above all, the streets of the Born. The Malaga-born artist arrived in the city when he was only thirteen years old. Do you remember that famous fishing neighbourhood I was telling you about before? Can you imagine who lived nearby?
The museum houses the largest collection of Picasso’s works. Here, you can observe the evolution of the master until he became the pioneer of cubism with works such as Guernika.
Barcelona won’t let you get bored. Never.
Montjuïc Cable Car
We also recommend you more risky experiences. The Catalan capital is beautiful and you can breathe it when you walk through its streets, but haven’t you wondered if there are other views to match?
The answer is yes. There are other views to match.
Dare to climb Montjuïc with the cable car and enjoy privileged and panoramic views of the city. Undoubtedly, one of the activities that most impress everyone. You will be amazed to see the most iconic monuments from the heights: Sagrada Familia, the Mediterranean Sea, the Port of Barcelona, among many others.
Conclusion
As you can see, there are plenty of things to do in Barcelona. All kinds of plans depending on your interests. The cosmopolitan city welcomes tourists like no other. Ready to enjoy the Catalan capital and all it has to offer?
