Barcelona is an art gallery within the city itself with unforgettable and inspiring architecture. The legacy left by Gaudi is all over Barcelona from the residential district of L’Exiample and its bizarre balconies and frontages to La Sagrada Familia, the iconic unfinished Cathedral dominating the city. Visit the Parc Guell and see jewel colour stones, mosaics and a fun style of design again t the backdrop of downtown Barcelona.
Start at the Placa Catalunya as the central hub of the city and walk down Las Ramblas and watch the people, sit in a café or listen to street music and soak up the atmosphere. Boqueria Market is a fun place to do some food or souvenir shopping. Spend time at the Dali Museum with the displays of surrealism, and go to the Joan Miro Foundation for more inspirational art. Go back in time in the medieval Barrio Gottico, walk around the narrow streets and see the Placa del Rei, the Barcelona City Museum and the Placa Saint Jaume. See a football match at Barcelona’s Stadium, and visit the Olympic Park. Nearby Montjuic Castle dominates the landscape. On the seafront stands the monument to Christopher Columbus, and the Aquarium. Try the local tapas in a bar, and enjoy the atmosphere in this unique European city. |
