9. Jump into nature without leaving the city! The famous hill at the side of the city hosts various famous landmarks such as the Castle of Montjuic, the Olympic stadium, and the Palace as well as many hidden gems. We can arrange an itinerary to view the top important spots or to explore it in further detail. Due to the distance from the rest of things, Montjuic usually takes up a bit of time from the day, so the "duration" could range from 1 hour to 4 hours if you want to walk around by foot to various points.

About Barcelona

Barcelona sets Gaudí's fantastical buildings and a medieval Gothic Quarter between Mediterranean beaches and green hills, with food and nightlife to match.

Antoni Gaudí's work defines the city's image. The Sagrada Família rises over the Eixample, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà line the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, and Park Güell's mosaic terraces look out over the rooftops. The Gothic Quarter keeps its cathedral, narrow lanes and hidden squares, and El Born adds the Picasso Museum and the soaring church of Santa Maria del Mar.

Top-ranked sights in Barcelona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
