Discover the best of Barcelona

Discover the best of Barcelona and its province in just a few days — think surreal architecture, old-world alleys, epic food stops and views for days! 🏰✨

Here’s the must-see list:
1. Park Guell (Carrer d'Olot, Gràcia, 08024 Barcelona): Snap Gaudí’s rainbow mosaics. Open 09:30-18:00. Book early for smoother entry!
2. Columbus Monument (Plaça Portal de la Pau): Panoramic city and sea views from the top. Check opening: 08:30-14:30 (admission ends 13:30).
3. Gothic Quarter (Ciutat Vella): Wander 2,000 years of history, pretty much any hour — it’s open all day and totally magical at night.
4. Mercat de la Boqueria (La Rambla, 91): Get lost in a color bomb of market stalls. Open 08:00-20:30 Mon-Sat. Try the fresh fruit juices and jamón!
5. Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus & Plaça de Gaudi: Hilltop icons with awesome city panoramas.
6. Sagrada Familia (Carrer de Mallorca, 401): It’s breathtaking but beware of pickpockets (especially outside). Pro tip: book tickets online and keep bags zipped at all times!

Getting around: Barcelona’s metro is fast and cheap, and buses go everywhere. Walking’s a vibe but watch your pockets on crowded streets!

Eat this: Hit a proper paella spot in the old town. You can’t leave without tasting it, but avoid tourist places with “photo menu” vibes — locals do it better!

Cash & safety: Card is king but keep some euros handy. Stay sharp around popular places — pickpockets are sneaky pros.
