Must-Visit Places in Barcelona

Before traveling, I checked out some Barcelona guides on Xhs. Upon arrival, my friends and I were both amazed and disappointed by certain places. Here's a concise summary of popular attractions to help you make the most of your limited travel time by visiting the most interesting and worthwhile spots.

1. Caramel Mountain 🌟🌟🌟🌟: I love the feeling of overlooking the entire city from the mountain, offering a different perspective. Strolling around the mountain, you'll see people cycling, jogging, and walking their dogs. Bring some bread and drinks, sit on the mountain with friends, chat, and watch the sunset. The slow-paced leisure makes you forget all your worries. It's even more romantic and memorable for couples.

2-3. Tibidabo 🌟🌟🌟: This location is higher, offering views of the city and distant coastline. For 5 euros, you can take an elevator to the top of the church, but it's very windy up there. The church is quite ordinary, and the surrounding trees and Ferris wheel obstruct the view, making photos less impressive. Compared to Caramel Mountain, I recommend visiting Caramel Mountain more.

4-8. Tossa Town 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: My favorite place during the entire Barcelona trip, highly enjoyable and photogenic. It's about a 90-minute bus ride from Barcelona North Station, and you can return the same day. The place is stunning, with paths leading up the mountain to view the sea and town. Enjoy coffee at the mountain top, sunbathe on the beach, and savor delicious food at the town's restaurants. Despite the crowds, it feels relaxed and untroubled.

9-10. Sagrada Familia 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟: Buy tickets in advance for 26 euros; buying through other platforms can be more expensive. Having seen many European churches, they often seem similar, but Sagrada Familia will truly impress you. Listen to the audio guide for a more impactful experience. It's best to research beforehand for a deeper appreciation.

11. Kissing Wall 🌟: I personally think it's unnecessary to make a special trip, but couples can consider taking a photo if it's on the way. It's just a wall as shown, not very interesting.

12-13. Lonely Star 🌟🌟🌟: These stars aren't for the building itself, as it's quite ordinary. However, I recommend visiting because the beach where Lonely Star is located is in the city, making it convenient to reach. Many locals play volleyball, walk dogs, and stroll with kids there. After a tiring Citywalk, relax on the beach with friends, sunbathe, and enjoy drinks to slow down the day's pace.

📍Due to limited space, the summary isn't detailed. Feel free to leave comments for further clarification.
