Do Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is an amazing city! 100% worth visiting!

General info:
- Visit when the weather is warm so that you can really enjoy this beautiful city;
- Take the Hop-on Hop-off buses which are really useful, as the sights are not concentrated in one part pf the city;
- No matter how long you decide to stay in Barcelona, it will never be enough. But a minimum of 3 days is recommended =)


TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:


Sagrada Familia (Calle Mallorca, 401)

Sagrada Familia is one of the most famous famous cathedrals in the world! When you go inside you must visit the small museum where you can learn more about Gaudí and his inspirations to design in this extraordinary way!

Discounts: 

- For those who are using the Hop-on Hop-off buses - when buying the tickets you will receive a small booklet with different discounts. Use it =)

- Students also have discount when showing their student ID card

Parc Güell (Carrer d'Olot 5)

Parc Güell is an absolute must visit! Enjoy it =)









Casa Batlló (Passeig de Gràcia, 43)

From Gaudí's houses (Casa Batlló and Casa Milà/La Pedrera) I recommend you to visit Casa Batlló. The entrance fee is around 20 euros (for juniors, students, seniors and Hop-on Hop-off customers with their small booklet there is a discount), but it's 100% worth visiting!

Casa Batlló is on walking distance from plaza de Catalunya. If you have enough time take the walk to this sight  =)

Palau Güell (Carrer Nou de la Rambla, 3-5)

Palau Güell is again designed by Antonio Gaudí for the Catalan industrial tycoon Güell. It's very interesting and totally different from the other houses designed by Gaudí.








Magic Fountain (Pl Carles Buïgas, 1)

Visit the Magic Fountain by night! It's a nice show with music and lights, but combined with lots of Spanish vino, jamón y queso it's outstanding :) Climb all the stairs up to enjoy a great view of Barcelona by night!

Barrio Gótico

Go for a walk through Barrio Gótico. With it's cathedral, Plaza Real, narrow streets and cafes on small plazas it's a great place to visit. 











Passeig de Colom

Passeig de Colom is another favorite part of Barcelona. Here you'll see the Columbus Monument (Columbus pointing towards America), El Cap de Barcelona (Barcelona's Head) - a sculpture by the artist Roy Lichtenstein, the Rambla del Mar - the famous wave-shaped footbridge, L'Aquarium Barcelona and much more.



Port Olímpic

Port Olímpic is a famous nightlife district thanks to the high concentration of bars, restaurants and clubs around the marina. Whenever we visit Barcelona, we go there for one reason - La Fonda del Port Olimpic (Moll de Gregal, 7-10). This restaurant was recommended to us by a local guy and it's absolutely delicious. Order a Paella for how many people you are + seafood plate and mix them together. Enjoy!
