    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.

    Interesting experience to visit this Parc with lots of Gaudi pieces of art and amazing views of Barcelona. The weather was not very pleasant because of the heat. The parc was crowded and it was hard to take good pictures. Overall, nice experience.

    Super cool part of the city. Cathedral was beautiful, so was the palace beside it didn’t pay to go inside, but just viewing the outside was enough. I definitely recommend spending a whole day walking through this area. We went inside another cathedral and climbed up that tower and had an amazing view of the entire city and the other big cathedral.

    Big variety of foods, drinks and many more. It’s a paradise for people like me, who love to visit and eat fresh food.
    The downside is the amount of tourists.
    It’s hard to move around and you must be careful with your belongings.

    This music hall is a masterpiece of catalan art nouveau or Jugendstil. Rich in details and ornaments it is a monument of better days of Spain and Catalonia. The place is quite frequented, so better book tickets in advance and in the early morning hours - before the guided tours show up.

    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.

    Magnificent church, built in the 14th century. It is relatively plain on the outside and without a great deal of art on the inside, but the incredibly high vaulted ceiling and soaring columns let great deal of light in and imbue a heavenly feeling. While there is apparently a charge to enter in the daytime, we were able to enter in the early evening without payment.

    We visited with two boys aged 10 and 8. Although the Nou Camp is under constriction and therefore not open, we had a brilliant trip. The museum is excellent and really well done, and the virtual tour and Robokeeper are great fun. We spent a morning there and weren’t disappointed with any of it.

    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!
