There is SO much to do in Barcelona! We hit some of the highlights in our 4-5 days there, and here are our favorites:
1: Park Guell
A huge complex with Gaudi’s architecture. The tile work is amazing and it is such a unique area to walk around. Views of the city are amazing as well.
2: Sagrada Familia
Can’t miss going into Sagrada Familia! We really enjoyed the tour of the towers as well, and the museum underneath (we almost missed this!)
3: Mercado Boqueria
Huge market with tons of amazing food to pick from. We always love a good market!
4: Explore Gothic Quarter
Wandering around the Gothic Quarter is a highlight. So many things to see and so much history. Great food, live music and good vibes!
5: Barceloneta Beach
The beach in Barcelona is really nice – with tons of space to spread out and enjoy the nice weather.
6: Gaudi Architecture
There are a ton of places to see Gaudi’s architecture. Casa Mila and Casa Batllo are the more famous sites to see, but if you want something a bit cheaper and less crowded, we really enjoyed Guelle Palace.
7: Flamenco Dancing
A live flamenco dancing show was such a fun experience! The place we visited was a really intimate setting, with less than 50 people.
8: Picasso Museum
We typically aren’t art museum people – but the Picasso Museum was an exception. Right in the middle of the Gothic Quarter, it made for an easy visit and the art was amazing.
9: Monserrat
A day trip to Monserrat is a highlight if you can spare a day away from the city center. The mountains are really unique, has wonderful hiking, and taking a cable car to the top was really fun.
10: Ciutadella Park
This is a great park with a ton of green space and lots to do. Even if you just wander around, it’s a good stop!
