Things To Do

Barcelona is a city filled with art, architecture, history, and vibrant culture. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveler, there’s something for everyone. Here are some top things to do in Barcelona and some of Angie and Bran's favorites.

Visit Gaudí’s Masterpieces

Sagrada Família: Gaudí's most iconic work, this basilica is still under construction after more than a century. Its stunning architecture is a must-see. Park Güell: A whimsical park designed by Gaudí with colorful mosaics, serpentine benches, and beautiful views of the city. Casa Batlló & Casa Milà (La Pedrera): Two of Gaudí’s most famous buildings, located on the Passeig de Gràcia. Both are UNESCO World Heritage sites and showcase his unique architectural style.

Barceloneta Beach

Spend some time relaxing by the Mediterranean Sea at one of Barcelona’s most famous beaches. It’s ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or enjoying fresh seafood at beachside restaurants.

Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic)

Wander through the maze of narrow, winding streets, and discover medieval architecture, hidden squares, and atmospheric alleys.

Wander Around El Born

This artsy, trendy neighborhood is filled with boutiques, cafes, and tapas bars. It's also home to the Santa Maria del Mar church, a stunning example of Gothic architecture and is next door to the Gothic Quarter.

Explore Montjuïc Hill

Take the cable car or hike up to this historic hilltop castle for panoramic views of the city and the sea. You'll find what is known as the magic fountain.

Take a Day Trip to Montserrat

Just outside Barcelona, Montserrat is a stunning mountain range known for its monastery, dramatic rock formations, and hiking trails. It’s a peaceful retreat and offers some of the best views of Catalonia.

Try Tapas and Catalan Cuisine

Tapas: Barcelona is full of great tapas bars, from traditional spots to trendy places. Try local favorites like patatas bravas, jamón ibérico, and croquetas. Paella: While paella is more typical of Valencia, many restaurants in Barcelona serve excellent versions of this iconic Spanish dish. Cava: Don’t miss trying Catalonia’s famous sparkling wine.
