Visit the Sagrada Familia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Without a doubt, it is indispensable that you visit Sagrada Familia<\/strong><\/a>. It is an icon of the city and a representative place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a big chance that you have already seen the towers in many pictures designed by Antoni Gaud\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This temple started construction at the end of the XIX century and has not been completed yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who knows if we will ever be able to see it finished? The work and progress keep moving forward, but it will still need a lot of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To visit, I recommend that you buy the ticket previously<\/a><\/strong>. They tend to sell out pretty fast, and you will lose your chance to see the “Sagrada Familia.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to its size, it takes time to tour around, so I plan to have more time to see as much as possible. I recommend going up the towers if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recommended: Free Walking Tour with a guide<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nParc G\u00fcell<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Parc G\u00fcell is another masterpiece by the genius Antoni Gaud\u00ed. This visit includes two main parts, one without charge and another with a ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, the gardens do not require you to wait in line or pay for a ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s beautiful to stroll around the gardens; however, if you want to visit the famous statues, stairs, and views from the Barcelona skyline, you will have to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBarcelona city sights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Barcelona has many beautiful city sights that allow you to enjoy the city’s spectacular views. But keep in mind that some of them are free and others are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The free ones are located between the Catalu\u00f1a national museum of art (Museo Nacional de Arte de Catalu\u00f1a), Mirador del Alcalde (at Montj\u00fcic mountain), the Tibidabo, Catalunya Museum of History, and Las Arenas mall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There, you can appreciate the famous Venetian towers. But, of course, there is so much more to visit, and depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viewpoint with a fee: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Port Cablesight (Telef\u00e9rico del puerto), <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sagrada Familia Tower, <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pedrera and Casa Batll\u00f3, <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Colom city sight, <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Parc G\u00fcell <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- and Montj\u00fcic Castle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Montj\u00fcic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Montj\u00fcic mountain is an amazing place that highlights the views of Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should also visit other places include the magic fountain of Montj\u00fcic, the castle, Spanish town, the Olympic rings, Catalu\u00f1a Museum of National Art, Joan Mir\u00f3 Foundation, and the botanic garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you only have a few days to visit Barcelona, you can spend one day here without worrying about seeing other places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa Mar\u00eda del Mar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another popular spot that you should stop by is the basilica of Santa Mar\u00eda del Mar. If you can, I recommend reading the book about the Cathedral of the Sea<\/strong><\/a> by Ildefonso Falcones (or you can just watch the tv series).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The basilica is at the heart of Barcelona Ribera neighbors. It has a gothic style, and it was built by its citizens who contributed with their hard work and money from 1329 until 1383 when it was finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nGothic Neighborhood and the Cathedral<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You will also want to spend at least one day or morning in the Goth neighborhood. There is a post with a walking route to go through this hood at the center of Barcelona on this link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Barcelona Cathedral of goth style was built on the foundations of another cathedral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Construction started on the 1st of May of 1298 and finished at the end of the XV century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facade’s work and the two towers started at the end of the XIX century and were finished in 1913. Nonetheless, it is a must when you visit Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casa Batll\u00f3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Casa Batll\u00f3<\/strong><\/a> is a vital experience when visiting Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s one of the highlighted works of Antoni Gaud\u00ed and has been recognized as a Human Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2005. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post<\/strong>, I will tell you about our visit, the most featured works, and some recommendations so that you can fully enjoy the visit to Casa Batll\u00f3<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nManzana de la discordia de Barcelona<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Manzana de la discordia<\/strong><\/a> (Block of discord) is the name of the stretch from Paseo de Gracia (Walk of Grace) that is located between Arag\u00f3n street and Consejo de Ciento. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It consists\nof five buildings: Casa Lle\u00f3 Morera by Llu\u00eds Dom\u00e8nech i Montaner, Casa Mulleras\nby Enric Sagnier, Casa Bonet by Marceliano Coquillat, Casa Amatller by Josep\nPuig i Cadafalch, and Casa Batll\u00f3 by Antoni Gaud\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though well-known architects made these buildings of Catalan modernism, the name of the stretch Manzana de la Discordia originates from the rivalry between professionals (Dom\u00e8nech I Montaner, Puig I Cadafalch, and Antoni Gaud\u00ed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Gaud\u00ed got in charge of Casa Batll\u00f3, he already knew about what the other two professionals had done. But, in fact, his presence as the most surprising architect of them all was the key element that triggered the street’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barceloneta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Barceloneta is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Barcelona. It is located between Port Vell and has been renewed on many occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Barceloneta, you can enjoy the beaches of the city. You can also journey through the alleys and discover antique buildings and churches. Visit the Catalu\u00f1a Museum of History and watch the Torre del Reloj (Clock Tower).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you feel like shopping, you should go to Maremagnum Mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also ride the cable sight from the beach of Barceloneta, which will take you to the Miramar city sight, where you can enjoy the views of the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nGuided Tour bus of Barcelona<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Barcelona’s touristic Bus is a comfortable way of getting to know the city and its most important places. I personally took the bus the last time I visited Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
