About Barcelona

Barcelona setter Gaudís fantasifulle bygninger og et middelaldersk gotisk kvarter mellom middelhavsstrender og grønne åser, med mat og nattliv som matcher.

Antoni Gaudís verk definerer byens bilde. Sagrada Família reiser seg over Eixample, Casa Batlló og Casa Milà kanter den elegante Passeig de Gràcia, og Park Güells mosaikkterrasser ser ut over takene. Det gotiske kvarter har bevart katedralen, de smale smugene og skjulte plasser, og El Born legger til Picasso-museet og den høye kirken Santa Maria del Mar.

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