    This is a must experience. The bus will deliver you adjacent to the basilica. The tour was very thorough as to the long history of the various stages of building. It's beautiful inside and with much architecture and planning. Nice gift shop also if you like to study Gaudi.

    We went to one of the summer evening tours that included a glass of cava and music on the roof top. Absolutely lovely evening! We just had the regular audio guide, not the special ipad experience, and it was absolutely fine. The tour leads you through the house, the inner stairs with their blue tiles are especially memorable. I enjoyed this house more than the other Gaudi places to visit in the area.

    This was a very nice tourist attraction with interesting architecture. I don't think the guided tour is worth it, the audioguide is very useful.

    I had wanted to see this area and to look all the way down to the Venetian Towers. Unfortunately, there was no water. Best to see this with the fountain operating and the light show in place.

    Your best plan is to book a hotel in this area for your visit to Barcelona. The streets are lined with trees. The restaurants are very good. The shopping is wonderful. We can walk up and down, and there are benches scattered around to take a break. I love this street.

    We were there before the tourism protests. We enjoyed the area, we kept away from La Rambla as there is nothing to get excited about, extremely touristy and tacky. However the restaurants at the other end looked okay. We spent most of our time in the gothic area, and looked for restaurants/cafes away from the main streets. We always had good food and service. The two different hop on hop off bus companies always seemed busy, but it’s good way to look around especially if your jet lagged!

    An extraordinary building of Gaudi. One of his first projects.
    The audio guide was very informative.
    You can learn a lot about the artist and the Spanish culture

    What an impressive site. You can walk to this from Montjuic or take a HOHO bus around it. This is a heavy traffic area so be careful crossing the street! But definitely put on your bucket list for Barcelona.

    The Plaza de Catalunya could be described as the hub of Barcelona and is a large square surrounded by department stores and the start of Las Ramblas. It is always busy as may tourist buses start and end here. If in Barcelona it is almost inevitable you will visit the square, which is interesting because of the people and activity , more than its artistic design

    The oldest neighborhood in the city where there were settlements in Roman times. Many of the buildings here are from centuries before ours, lots of history, lots of narrow streets, and a good place to wander. You will enter some big open squares where there is more air and sun.

    This is a beautiful plaza with one restaurant after another. My favorite place in Barcelona without a doubt. It is a combination of busy and restful at the same time.

    It's obvious that this was once an industrial area, but it is slowly being converted to new uses, offices and apartments, some hotels. Some of the old buildings have been turned into restaurants and clubs. Metro stations are here, you are very close to the Sea.

    I recommend visit this attraction early in the morning during high season.

    "The world comes to life with each kiss" serves as the title for this artwork, and its uniqueness lies in the captivating narrative that accompanies the mural.
    Upon initial observation, one sees the central theme of a kiss. However, upon closer inspection, the intricate details reveal that the kiss is composed of numerous small photographs. These photos, specifically depicting the theme of "freedom," were contributed by readers of the Spanish Newspaper El Periódico. The mural is comprised of 80 columns and 50 rows of tiles, covering a total area of 30.4 square meters

    This has only been open for a few years and is not as well known as other Gaudi works. Worth a visit if you have time. A little out of the way. We love castles and this fit the bill. Nice grounds and not crowded. The view from the room is wonderful.

    A famous place and the final resting area for legions down the years.

    Impressive memorials of all varieties are here. In the Sunday morning tranquillity it was thoughtful walking around and seeing all the heartfelt remembrances.
