To start your Barcelona trip, allow me to guide you through the best of the city’s various historical and cultural references. Sagra Familia is one of the most famous architectural marvels of Spain and has been designed by Antoni Gaudí. It is therefore important that bookings for the tickets are done in advance to define the time you will spend in the queues.
After this head to Montjuïc area where u can visit Montjuïc Castle, have a look at the splendid views of Barcelona. Explore Montjuïc Park, which includes numerous museums and lovely gardens on foot.
Another place in Barcelona, which is an essential object of the architectural tourism, is located in the historical center of the city – Casa Milà, or La Pedrera.

Day 2: Website devoted to the major works of Antoni Gaudi and the Gothic Quarter
Every tour of Barcelona must include the masterpiece of Antoni Gaudí. On your second day start your journey with the famous Barcelona’s Park Güell a cultured UNESCO world heritage site. Peek at ceramics, beautiful paintings on the catch, amazing architecture and splendid view of the city.
The next destination should be another tit of Gaudí, Casa Batlló For me, this is the most breathtaking piece of architecture I have seen. Finally, it is highly recommended to check the appearance of rather diverse and striking rooms and study more about the source of the architect’s inspiration.
When you are done with the tour of Gaudi sites, go to Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Get lost in narrow running in narrow, winding streets, stumble across small squares and marvel at the intricate façade of the Barcelona Cathedral Bartholemew Goeth.
The night is perfect to grab tapas from local places in gothic quarter and enjoy true taste of Catalan cousine.

Later go to one of the active markets of Barcelona, for instance the Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, and enjoy oranges, local food and activating mood.
It’s for this reason, that to complete your tour, we recommend concluding your visit to Barcelona with a tour of the National Art Museum of Catalonia, situated atop Montjuïc Hill. Check out a wide array of art in the Catalan tradition from the Romanesque period to the modern style.
I highly recommend seeing the Magic Fountain – a musical water show which progresses in front of the fountain before you go.
