  • What’s one thing visitors shouldn't miss?
    Strolling the different neighborhoods of the city, soaking in the history and the vibes of its citizens. As a Mediterranean culture with pleasant weather all year round, life happens outside, in the street.

    From world-renowned chefs like Ferran Adrià, the Roca Brothers, Santi Santamaria or Carme Ruscalleda to a myriad of lesser-known restaurants all over Catalonia, food plays a pivotal role in Catalan society and it shows in its rich and varied gastronomy.

    Obviously it goes without saying that this place is absolutely spectacular.
    If you have the chance to walk around the outside both in day and night time then do; it’s a very different feel.
    If you can visit inside we found it beautiful late afternoon not too long before sunset. We visited on a very bright day and the stained glass is really beautiful.
    When buying tickets make sure you go to the official site and disconnect from any public wifi as this seems to block purchases.
    You’ll need to queue even if purchased Tickets in advance and go through security.
    Bags have to be left in lockers to visit towers
    Downsides are it’s incredibly busy at all times.

    “Beautiful and unique park with Gaudí’s artistic touch everywhere! The colorful mosaics and whimsical architecture make it a memorable experience. Can get crowded, but the views of Barcelona are worth it. A must-see for art and nature lovers!”
