Probably the most extraordinary architecture you will ever see, is in Barcelona. A lot of the credit goes to Antoni Gaudí, who is the architect who has designed most of the amazing sights.
Now talking about Gaudí, you can’t really go to Barcelona and not see his most famous work, the La Sagrada Família! A church, that’s been built for over a 100 years, and still not nearly ready but totally worth the visit.
Other great places to visit are:
- Park Güell. Amazing architecture with beautiful mosaics.
- Casa Batlló. The local name means “House of Bones”, which describes its exterior perfectly.
- Casa Milà, or La Pedrera. Designed to be an apartment, but now an attraction. The first floor can be seen for free, the second floor and roof costs. Other floors are forbidden to tourists.
- The National Art Museum of Catalonia. Not only is the stuff inside great, you’ll have a great view of the city outside of the museum. Also, the fountain in front of the museum is something you will not believe, 15 minutes of music and light show.
- Check for last minute hotels near the sights you want to see to save money.
