About Barcelona

Barcelona zet Gaudí's fantasiegebouwen en een Gotische wijk tussen stranden en groene heuvels, met eten en nachtleven die er zeker bij passen.

Het werk van Antoni Gaudí bepaalt het beeld van de stad. De Sagrada Família rijst op boven de Eixample, Casa Batlló en Casa Milà staan langs de elegante Passeig de Gràcia en de mozaïekterrassen van Park Güell kijken uit over de daken. De Gotische wijk heeft zijn kathedraal, smalle steegjes en verborgen pleintjes behouden, en El Born voegt het Picassomuseum en de hoge kerk Santa Maria del Mar toe.

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