Sites
Antoni Gaudí

La Sagrada Familia
@lauriealvarado
Designed by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, La Sagrada Familia is the largest unfinished Catholic Church in the world. It is also unlike any church you will visit. The detail put into every piece of construction is astounding.
La Sagrada Familia is the one site you cannot leave Barcelona without experiencing.
Helpful hints:
- Buy your tickets ahead of time as they do sell out
- If you want to climb up one of the towers, you will have to select a time at which you can enter the church and another at which you can enter the tower.
- Best times to go are first thing in the morning for less crowds or later in the afternoon for the afternoon lighting.
- Don't miss the museum on the way out. You can catch a glimpse of the workshop and learn more information about Gaudí and his process.

Park Güell
@lauriealvarado
An urban park designed by Antoni Gaudí, commissioned by Eusebi Güell, who the park is named after. It is now a UNESCO Heritage site and there is a small fee to enter but worth it to see the intricate detailing in all the symbolic elements designed by Gaudí.
Helpful hints:
- Book tickets ahead of time to avoid the line; they sell out especially in high tourist season.
- Part of the Park is open to the public and free, if you want to catch a glimpse but not pay the entrance fee.
- There is a picnic area inside the park. You are allowed to bring in your own food and enjoy a picnic in one of the most unique parks in the world!

Casa Batlló
@lauriealvarado
Casa Batlló was once a single family residence designed by Antoni Gaudí. Visiting Casa Batlló is a beautiful journey inside the mind of a creative and architectural genius. I highly recommend the audio tour for any Gaudí site so you don't miss all the design and intention behind the smallest details.
Helpful hints:
- Book tickets ahead of time to avoid long lines and times do sell out.
- If you were to choose either Casa Batlló or La Pedrera to tour, I would choose Casa Batlló.
- *Secret local tip* If you enter the home goods store, Servei Estacio, around the corner on Carrer d'Aragó, you can go to their outdoor patio area and get a view of the back of Casa Batlló and the terrace for free!

Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
@lauriealvarado
La Pedrera is the last private residence designed by Antoni Gaudí. The home contains floor after floor of bedrooms and an interesting history lesson of how wealthy families lived at the beginning of the 20th century.
Helpful hints:
- Book tickets ahead of time to avoid long cues and time slots selling out.
- They often host music and dinner sessions on the roof which are a unique way to experience this amazing home.

Casa Vicens Gaudí
@lauriealvarado
Considered to be Antoni Gaudí's first major architectural project. I have only seen it from the outside but will plan to visit the interior very soon (will update further when I do!)
Helpful hints:
- Book tickets online as they are more expensive at the box office
- Bring your headphones to use the audio guide

Mercado de La Boqueria
@lauriealvarado
The most famous neighborhood market in Barcelona. It is worth a visit to see the hustle and bustle. The restaurants inside are also quite tasty and not all of them are only for tourists.
💡Helpful hints:
- It will be crowded. Keep a close eye on your belongings.

Cathedral of Barcelona
@lauriealvarado
While I have been to the Cathedral, I have not been inside! Going to view it from the outside is still worth it as the surrounding plaza is always full of activity and it is a good stopping point as you wander the streets of El Born and Gótico.
💡Helpful hints:
- At Christmas, there is a Christmas Market in front of the Cathedral.

Arc de Triomf de Barcelona
@lauriealvarado
Arc de Triomf was built as the entrance to the 1888 Barcelona World's Fair. It begins the promenade of Passeig de Lluís Companys, a wide pedestrian street typically filled with lounging locals, street performers, and photographing tourists. Eventually ending at the entrance of Ciutadella Park.
💡Helpful hints:
- Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium
@lauriealvarado
Atop Montjuic lies the heart of the Olympic stadiums built for the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona. The Barcelona 1992 Olympics are considered one of the best examples of successfully investing the capital for the Games to improve the lives of inhabitants and visitors to the city.
Any visit to Montjuic should include a walk around the Olympic structures, and the best part is, the visit is free!

Ciutadella Park
@lauriealvarado
Barcelona's main park. There are small grassy areas used by many to picnic and enjoy the sun. There is also a small kids playground. And of course, the beautiful fountain.
💡Helpful hints:
- There is a large wholly mammoth statue near the fountain that makes for a fun photo opportunity.
- Baby ducks and geese can often be spotted in the fountain in the spring.
- There is a snack bar near the fountain if you need a food or drink break.

MUHBA Turó de la Rovira (Mirador de les bateries)
@lauriealvarado
Referred to as The Bunkers, this is a cool viewing spot to see the whole city. People tend to bring some drinks and snacks and sit here at sunset,
Recently, the neighbors have been getting upset with the level of noise and trash. So the site may be closed on certain days. Additionally, if you do visit, please be respectful.

@lauriealvarado
My neighborhood market ❤️
Similar to La Boqueria but on a much smaller scale. If you wanted the market experience without the crowds, you can visit here!
💡*Special tip* In the same building as the Mercat is a 24 hour plant and flower shop should you be looking for some greenery.

Palau de la Música Catalana
@lauriealvarado
One of my favorite places I've visited in Barcelona. The design and construction are amazing and so intricate. The ticket is pretty inexpensive and comes with an audio tour.
💡Helpful Hints:
- You can scan the website on the dates of your visit to see if you can catch a show here as they have a wide range of events happening year-round.
- Don't miss the sculpture, Carmela by Jaume Plensa, around the backside of the Palau.

This castle and fort date all the way back to 1640! You can go inside for a small fee or simply walk around to enjoy the impressive walls and catch a glimpse of the gardens.
💡Helpful Hints:
- In the summer, the Castle hosts outdoor concerts and open air movie screenings. Check the dates to see if you can catch one!
- Admission is free every Sunday after 15:00 and all day the first Sunday of each month.

@lauriealvarado
In the 1990s, excavations began to start construction of a library on this site. Lo and behold, they found ruins from the 1700s, so they decided to keep the remains and open the ruins to the public!
This is a cool site to check out if you're in the area, it's free to go in and walk above the ruins or you can book a tour to walk down below.

Bocanariz Wine Bar - vinos y tapas
@lauriealvarado
Cute wine bar with an interesting wine list. They also have a small food menu if you want to snack and drink!

Salts - Terrassa Bar Montjuïc
@lauriealvarado
If you're spending the day up on Montjuic, I highly recommend a drink at this bar with great views of the city!
*Tip - the pool is open to the public during the summer months. For a few euros, you could spend the day soaking in the sun and cooling off in the pool while overlooking all of Barcelona.

Bar Sauvage
@lauriealvarado
If you're looking to dance the night away, this is the place to go. Bar Sauvage serves delicious cocktails and always has a DJ pumping downstairs.
If you want to grab a table, go early. Be prepared to pay an entrance later in the night, which includes a drink or two.

I love to eat and I love to travel and I really love to put those two things together.

As I constantly have friends and family and friends of friends and family asking for my recommendations and color-coded city maps, I am happy to have a way to share this meticulously planned travel with YOU!

I also include favorite dishes and any helpful hints to make your experience the best it can be.
📲Custom travel services - Including consultation calls and personalized recommendations.
