Top attractions in Barcelona

In recent decades, Barcelona emerged as a top European destination thanks to its eccentric architecture, fashionable clubs, sun-kissed atmosphere and wide beaches. Long strolls on La Rambla, a tour of Gaudí’s masterpieces, artisan shopping at the Boqueria Market or a few wonderful hours sunbathing on its Mediterranean beaches. Here are the five attractions you can’t miss in Barcelona!

1. Sagrada Familia

Be enchanted by the spectacular play of lights and colours that can be admired from the inside and climb the towers to get a unique view of the city!
The last construction in the career of the architect Gaudì, the Sagrada Familia is one of the symbols of Barcelona.

2. La Rambla

Admire street artists, visit various museums, take a break at the Boqueria market or dive into the realm of florists (La Rambla de Les Flores)… these are just some of the things you can do in La Rambla, the long avenue that from Plaza de Catalunya leads to the statue of Columbus!

3. Park Guell

Do you want to escape from the stress of everyday life and take refuge in a fairy tale world? Park Guell is the place for you! Wonderful sculptures and unmistakable architectural works, an expression of the inspiration of Gaudì.

4. Boqueria Market

Are you looking for a journey through flavours and fragrances? La Boqueria is the largest market in Barcelona and the whole of Spain, colourful, lively and with a huge selection of products. Stop at one of over 300 kiosks to taste the typical products: it will be worth it!

5. Casa Battló

Be amazed by Casa Batlló, one of the most extravagant and original buildings in Europe, as well as a UNESCO heritage site and one of the wonders of Barcelona. The building, designed by the architect Gaudì, features stunning exteriors and equally fascinating interiors: just think that there are no straight lines, only a vortex of curves and spirals.
