Best Things to Do in Barcelona
Barcelona has some of the most unique and inspiring architecture in the world, so a tour of the city's parks, museums and churches is a must. You won't want to miss out on seeing Gaudí's Casa Batlló, Sagrada Familia and Parc Güell. Later, relax on the waterfront with a cool cerveza (beer) or glass of cava, accompanied by some tapas, all the while enjoying a picturesque view of the Mediterranean. After a brief siesta, we suggest you hit the nightlife in Las Ramblas.
