The 10 must-see places to visit in Barcelona
Capital of Catalonia, Barcelona goes from the medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter to Gaudí's wild façades, with the Mediterranean at the end of the street. Here are the places not to miss, from your first day to your last.
Sagrada Família
Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Família basilica has been under construction since 1882, and work is still going on. Its Nativity façade and its crypt are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Inside, the columns branch out like trees and the stained glass floods the nave with color. Book a time slot in advance, as same-day tickets go fast.
Park Güell
Conceived by Gaudí in the early 20th century as a garden city, this park perched above Barcelona features gingerbread-style pavilions and a wavy bench covered in mosaics, overlooking the whole city.
At the entrance, the famous ceramic salamander, nicknamed el Drac, welcomes visitors. Access to the monumental zone is paid and by reservation.
Casa Batlló and La Pedrera
On Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona's grand chic avenue, the Casa Batlló, remodeled by Gaudí, unrolls its mask-shaped balconies and a scaly roof like a dragon's back.
A few hundred meters further up, Casa Milà, nicknamed La Pedrera (the quarry), surprises with its undulating stone façade and a rooftop terrace bristling with sculpted chimneys.
Gothic Quarter
The medieval heart of Barcelona, the Barri Gòtic mixes Roman remains, narrow lanes and hidden squares. The Cathedral of Saint Eulalia and Plaça Sant Jaume, home to the city hall and the Catalan government, mark its center.
Getting lost here is part of the fun (it is even recommended). For thrill seekers, a guided night tour tells of the ghosts and legends haunting its covered passages.
The Born and Santa Maria del Mar
Next to the Gothic Quarter, the Born is built around the Santa Maria del Mar basilica, a jewel of 14th-century Catalan Gothic, built by and for the sailors and dockworkers of the neighborhood.
Carrer de Montcada lines up former medieval palaces, several of which house the Picasso Museum. In the evening, wine bars and small designer shops take over.
La Rambla and the Boqueria market
From Plaça de Catalunya to the port, La Rambla is Barcelona's best-known pedestrian promenade. Halfway along, the Boqueria market, a covered hall of iron and glass, overflows with fruit, ham and seafood.
The market counters serve tapas and grilled fish at any hour. Keep an eye on your belongings, as the crowd is dense in high season.
Montjuïc
This hill overlooking the port brings together the stadium of the 1992 Olympic Games, the National Palace housing the National Art Museum of Catalonia, and a castle with open views of the sea.
At the foot of the National Palace, the Magic Fountain comes alive on some evenings with water, light and music shows. You can get up there on foot, by cable car or by funicular.
Palau de la Música Catalana
Opened in 1908 and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this Modernista concert hall by Lluís Domènech i Montaner rivals Gaudí's buildings in boldness.
Under the great inverted skylight of the hall, sculptures, mosaics and stained glass fill the space. The best way is to attend a concert; otherwise, a guided tour lets you enjoy it by day.
Bunkers del Carmel
Perched on the Turó de la Rovira hill, these remains of a Civil War anti-aircraft battery have become the locals' favorite viewpoint, with a 360-degree view of the city and the sea.
Sunset draws many people, picnic in hand. The climb is steep but short from the neighborhood's bus stops.
La Barceloneta and the waterfront
A former fishermen's district with a grid of narrow streets, La Barceloneta opens onto the city's beaches. The promenade runs along the sea to Port Olímpic, also inherited from the 1992 Games.
It is the ideal spot for a paella facing the water or a sunset sailing trip. Several packages in our catalog include tapas and swimming offshore.
Our ideas for visiting Barcelona differently
Flat along the sea and well equipped with bike lanes, Barcelona is easy to discover by bike or Segway. Our guided tours take in the main sites, street art or the installations of the 1992 Games.
On the food side, food tours string together tapas, wines and neighborhood taverns, and cooking workshops teach you how to prepare a paella after a stop at the market.
