About Barcellona

Barcellona mette gli edifici fantastici di Gaudí e un quartiere gotico medievale tra spiagge e colline verdi, con cucina e vita notturna all'altezza.

L'opera di Antoni Gaudí definisce l'immagine della città. La Sagrada Família si innalza sopra l'Eixample, Casa Batlló e Casa Milà fiancheggiano l'elegante Passeig de Gràcia, e le terrazze a mosaico del Park Güell guardano sui tetti. Il Barri Gòtic conserva la cattedrale, vicoli stretti e piazze nascoste, e El Born aggiunge il Museo Picasso e la slanciata chiesa di Santa Maria del Mar.

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