Your guide to Barcelona
Gaudí's city, where every neighbourhood has its own rhythm.
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a city where medieval lanes, modernist architecture and the Mediterranean meet. Antoni Gaudí's buildings shape the cityscape, from the still unfinished Sagrada Família basilica to the undulating houses along Passeig de Gràcia. Between the sights you'll find tapas bars, market halls and city beaches where the evenings run late.

Don't miss
Stroll the narrow streets, small shops and bars around the Gothic church of Santa Maria del Mar, ideally on a warm evening.
The old anti-aircraft battery on Turó de la Rovira hill offers one of the best views of the city, especially at sunset.
Take the train to the monastery among the saw-toothed mountains, just over an hour from the city, and hike among the rocks with sweeping views.

The big and the small
Five sights
you won't want to miss.
Sagrada Família
Gaudí's masterpiece has been under construction since 1882 and still isn't finished. Light through the stained-glass windows makes the interior unforgettable.
Park Güell
A park full of mosaics, flowing shapes and a terrace with views over the city and the sea.
Casa Batlló
Gaudí's house on Passeig de Gràcia, with a roof like a dragon's back and a façade that shimmers in every colour.
Gothic Quarter
The city's medieval heart, with the cathedral, narrow lanes and small squares where history feels close.
Montjuïc
The hill above the harbour with a fortress, museums, gardens and views, reachable by cable car.
