Unforgettable monuments
The Sagrada Familia is a must-see in Barcelona. Visited by hundreds of tourists every day, the unfinished temple designed by architect Antonio Gaudí is one of the finest examples of European modernism and was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. Nearby you can admire the modernist style of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i de Sant Pau, also declared a World Heritage Site in 1997.
Essential visits
During your stay you’ll be able to take in other architectural gems such as Barcelona Cathedral and the Basilica of Santa María del Mar, considered Gothic icons of the city, and stroll around modernist complexes such as Park Güell, Casa Milá and Casa Batlló. And, of course, a visit to the imposing Agbar Tower, one of the avant-garde symbols of modern-day Barcelona, is a must.
Endless appeal
In addition to its architecture, the Catalan capital offers wide range of exciting gastronomic, commercial and cultural options. We suggest you stroll along the famous shopping avenues, savour exquisite examples of regional and international cuisine, let yourself be carried away by the colours and flavours of the traditional Boqueria Market, revel in the charm of La Rambla, or feel the magic of football at the Barcelona Football Club Stadium and Museum.
