About Barcelona

Barcelona sätter Gaudís fantasifulla hus och ett medeltida gotiskt kvarter mellan medelhavsstränder och gröna kullar, med mat och nattliv av samma klass.

Antoni Gaudís verk definierar stadens bild. Sagrada Família reser sig över Eixample, Casa Batlló och Casa Milà kantar den eleganta Passeig de Gràcia, och Park Güells mosaikterrasser blickar ut över taken. Gotiska kvarteret har kvar sin katedral, trånga gränder och dolda torg, och El Born tillför Picassomuseet och den höga kyrkan Santa Maria del Mar.

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