What to see and where to go in Barcelona?

The most interesting and beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.

An unusual Catholic church in the Art Nouveau style, which is being built according to a unique design by the famous Antonio Gaudi. The building is still being built solely on donations from everyone. La Sagrada Falimia is considered one of the world's most visited attractions, with visitors to Barcelona queuing for hours to climb the bell tower or explore the whimsical interior.

The most famous promenade in Barcelona, ​​the symbol of the city. Separates the old Gothic Quarter from the Raval district. For tourists, the Rambla is an iconic place. Here they relax in street cafes, watch impromptu performances by street performers, and buy souvenirs. Even before the large influx of tourists, the boulevard was loved by local residents, but now they can very rarely be seen among the diverse mass of walking guests of the city.

The medieval quarter, the very heart of the city, is home to many interesting sights. Ancient stone houses of the XIV-XV centuries. separated by narrow streets, on the ground floors of the buildings there are traditional tapas bars. There are also modern shops, fashionable restaurants and clubs. Busy life boils until dawn, keeping local residents awake. Only in the morning hours does the Gothic Quarter become quiet.

City park, created by Antoni Gaudi. Initially, it was conceived as a place to build mansions for wealthy citizens, but the project failed and the owner of the land, industrialist E. Guell, sold the park to the authorities. The territory is decorated with figures and sculptural groups created by the famous architect, as well as several houses of his work. The park houses a municipal school and several administrative buildings.

5. Park Ciutadella

Also called Citadel Park. Before its destruction, this Citadel was one of the largest fortresses in Europe. Museums, a zoo, an artificial lake, the Parliament of Catalonia - you will need a whole day to explore the park. Antonio Gaudi himself worked on one of the sculptures that decorates the park's fountain. Notable buildings were built specifically for the World Building Exhibition - the Winter Garden, the Palm Conservatory and the Castle of the Three Dragons.

Historical park on the mountainside. The landscape is represented by gardens in neoclassical and romantic styles. To preserve the park, a limit has been set on visiting it - no more than 750 people can be in it. The park contains the former palace of the Desvalles family with a medieval tower. The labyrinth that gives the park its name is made up of cypress trees. The length of the hedge is 750 meters, its height is 2.5 meters.

One of the most interesting sights of Barcelona, ​​created by Antoni Gaudi. The house was built by order of the Milas, who planned to rent out some of the rooms. Gaudi used the concept of a “moving mountain” during construction, so the lines of the building seem alive and “fluid”. The house is considered one of the spiritual symbols of the city. Nowadays, people live in one part of it, and the upper floors are given over to a museum.

Rebuilt in the 1900s. A. Gaudi apartment building of Josep Batllo i Casanovas, which after reconstruction became an architectural masterpiece, an ideal example of the thought of a brilliant architect. Researchers of Gaudi’s work believe that work on the building marked the beginning of a new independent stage in the architect’s work. He used the ideas tested at Casa Batllo for his further creations.

One of the first major works of Antoni Gaudi. The residential building is protected as one of the UNESCO heritage sites. Built from rough stone. Decorated with colored ceramic tiles with floral patterns. An interesting fact is that the manufacturer of the tiles was the customer himself - manufacturer Manuel Vicens. Turrets, balconies, and facades were used as decorative elements. This gives the house volume.

A modern building of 34 floors, erected using advanced engineering technologies. The outside of the tower shimmers in different colors; inside, the structure independently opens and closes the blinds and regulates power consumption. It also maintains the optimal temperature independently. The name “Cucumber” was assigned to the tower because of the rounded cone-shaped roof.

Residential building in Venetian style. One of the early works of Antoni Gaudi, the famous architect. The complex design of this structure is located between two other houses on a small area measuring 18 by 22 meters. The palace is crowned with a dome of an unusual shape. The interior decoration contains many elements of different architectural styles. And Gaudi himself was the designer of all the furniture in the palace. The palace is open to visitors every day.

One of the central city squares is located at the foot of Montjuic mountain. Appeared thanks to the World Exhibition of 1929. In the center of the square there is a huge musical fountain by the Catalan sculptor M. Blay. From time to time, bright light and music performances take place here. The architectural ensemble of the square is intended to symbolize the unity, greatness and power of the entire Spanish nation.

A favorite square of both Barcelona residents and city guests, it is the starting point for the main city routes. This is where the Las Ramblas and Paseo de Gracia begin, and where the boundaries of the old and new districts of Barcelona meet. Tourist buses and transport to the airport and suburbs stop at Plaza Catalunya. The place is popular and always full of people, even at night.

Located in the Gothic Quarter. It is often confused with the King's Square in the same quarter. Royal Square often becomes a crowded place. Celebrations, festivals, and entertainment events are held there. The square was built in a romantic style in the 19th century on the site of a burnt Capuchin monastery. It captivates travelers with its beauty and grace. A special decoration of the square is the Three Graces fountain.

An open-air exhibition consisting of more than 100 structures. The museum presents different parts of Spain: replicas of traditional residential buildings from Andalusia, Galicia, La Mancha, Aragon, Asturias and other regions of the country. In the village you can walk along the streets, eat in a traditional restaurant and buy souvenirs. The complex was created for the 1929 World Exhibition and then preserved as a museum at the request of the townspeople.

Concert hall in the Art Nouveau style, located in the center of Barcelona near the Gothic Quarter. The building is richly decorated with mosaics and figured frescoes, the auditorium is crowned with a roof with colored stained glass windows, and wide windows are also made of multi-colored glass. Famous folk performers, classical orchestras and modern musicians perform original programs at the Palace of Music.

The hospital complex of 27 buildings is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hospital was founded in 1401. And only in 1901 the construction of a modern building began, which lasted 29 years. Architect Lewis Domenech i Montaner built the hospital's departments in Art Nouveau style and connected them with underground passages. In appearance, the building looks more like a palace than a hospital. Its walls are decorated with intricate decorations.

A collection of paintings by the famous artist is located in the Berenguera d'Aguilar palace in the La Ribera quarter. The museum mainly displays works from Picasso's early period, with a few later works. In addition to the paintings themselves, there are exhibitions of ceramics, prints, and photographs. Lectures are periodically held on the territory of the museum, which talk about the life and work of Picasso.

The gallery building is located on Mount Montjuic and is part of the National Palace complex. The museum has been operating since the 90s. XX century, the exhibition is collected from two funds - the Museum of Art of Catalonia and the Museum of Modern Art.

Modern Art Museum. The founder is Joan Miró, an avant-garde artist and surrealist of the 20th century. The museum is a platform for exhibitions of young contemporary avant-garde artists. For the construction of the building, the architect chose a site in a park on the mountain. He created a unique building in Mediterranean style with arches between exhibition halls and glass roofs. And from the roof of the museum there is an excellent and picturesque view.

Science Museum, one of the most famous in Europe. The cost of constructing the museum building in the Art Nouveau style at the beginning of the 20th century amounted to about 100 million euros. Its area is more than 40,000 m². The museum is interactive, not only scientific, but also educational. Exhibits of different scientific categories are presented in an entertaining way, which is interesting for both children and adults. Visitors can conduct experiments - cause a tornado or create a sandstorm.

Despite the unusual theme, it is one of the most visited in Barcelona. The museum collection contains more than 800 exhibits, some of which are of considerable archaeological value. Historical exhibits allow us to trace how erotic motifs have changed in the cultures of different peoples. Among them there are explicit sculptural compositions and erotic works by Picasso. And at the entrance to the museum you can take a glass of champagne.

The symbolic entrance to the Ciutadella Park is 30 meters high. Built of red brick with stone and ceramic tile decorations. The architect was Josep Vilaseca. The sculptors who worked on the arch were Josep Reines, Josep Limona and Antoni Vilanova. The composition style is neo-Moorish. 50 coats of arms of Barcelona itself and other Spanish provinces were used as decorations on the arch. Bats are carved from stone on the columns.

The main Catholic church of the city is located in the Gothic Quarter. The cathedral was erected on the site of a 6th-century Roman basilica, where the relics of the holy martyr Eulalia, the patroness of Barcelona, ​​were kept. After the basilica was destroyed by the Moors, the cathedral was rebuilt in the early Romanesque style in the 11th century; the Gothic building appeared in the 13th century. In subsequent centuries, the temple was completed; the main façade appeared already in the 19th century.

Located in a wealthy and prestigious area of ​​Barcelona. The monastery itself is distinguished by its luxurious interior decoration and splendor of the interiors. It was erected by the will of Queen Elisenda de Moncada during the heyday of the Catalan Gothic architectural style and became an excellent example of this school. Some cells do not look like monastic ones at all - they are decorated with magnificent frescoes and ornaments.

A thousand-year-old Benedictine monastery dedicated to Our Lady of Catalonia. It is located in a picturesque place among the rocks, the walls of the buildings seem to be “stuck” to the rock. There is a museum on the territory of the monastery where you can admire the works of Caravaggio, Picasso, El Greco, and Dali. Montserrat appeared in the 11th century thanks to the efforts of the reverend abbot-architect Olibe of Ripoll.

An ancient temple in the La Ribera quarter, a classic example of the Catalan Gothic style. The church was built in the 14th century with donations from sailors and merchants who needed their own patron. At this time, Barcelona was witnessing the flourishing of navigation, maritime trade and discoveries. The outer doors are decorated with reliefs depicting scenes of ship life. The church often hosts classical music concerts.

Tibidabo rises 500 meters above Barcelona. The name of this mountain is associated with a legend from the Gospel, according to which Satan in this place tempted Jesus with unearthly beauty and power. On the mountain there is an unusual temple in the “Aerial Gothic” style with a statue of Christ at the very top. This is the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, it has a magnificent interior and graceful architecture. You can get to the mountain by cable car, bus or tram.

Monument to the discoverer of America, erected at the end of La Rambla. The structure rises 60 meters above the historical port, where Columbus arrived at the end of his epoch-making campaign. The monument was erected in 1888. The base of the column is decorated with bas-reliefs telling about the voyage of the pioneer; at the top there is a small observation deck from where you can admire the sea and city blocks.

The structure crowns the mountain of the same name within Barcelona. Until the 16th century, there was a watchtower here; in the middle of the century (during the Catalan uprising against the rule of the Habsburgs) a fortress wall and defensive structures appeared. In the 18th century, the fort was taken by the British, but very soon the Spaniards recaptured Montjuic. Today, a military museum is located on the territory of the fortress.

Colorful musical fountain on the square in front of the National Palace, which is located on Mount Montjuic. The fountain was built in 1929 for the World's Fair, renovated and updated in 1992 in preparation for the Olympics. The structure's lighting system (about 5,000 light sources in 3,600 water flows) creates interesting visual illusions during operation, which is why the fountain was nicknamed “magic.”

One of the largest European aquariums, housing 11 thousand representatives of the aquatic world.

Top 3 - the best beaches in Barcelona

Municipal beach. Reconstructed and improved in the process of preparing the city for the Summer Olympic Games. The clean and beautiful sea and fine sand attract vacationers, but the view is somewhat spoiled by new buildings on the shore. The length of the beach is a little more than 400 meters, the width is about 40 meters. A special feature of the beach is its section, which is chosen by nudists. There is a medical aid station on the beach and lifeguards are on duty.

For its improvement and cleanliness, it was awarded the Blue Flag. The length of the beach is 640 meters, width is 39 meters. This is a municipal beach and entry is free.

The oldest and most famous city beach, located on a wide sandy spit. The territory of Barceloneta extends to the Olympic port.

We have studied routes to the sights of the city more than once and over 4 trips there we have collected tons of photos and text for you. Where to go from Barcelona for one day? We will also tell and show you about this.

What to see in Barcelona in a short time, where to go and, most importantly, how to get to the must see places? Let's share our experience and feedback. The last time in May we went there for 9 whole days!

One of the main attractions of Barcelona with huge queues

1. We recommend planning breakfast at the Brunch&Cake cafe, located a 10-minute walk away from Plaza Catalunya. Address: Carrer d’Enric Granados, 19. The doors open at 9 am, so we run straight to the opening, otherwise there will be a queue. The popularity of the place does not at all spoil the quality of the breakfasts, which you can eat to your heart’s content for about 18 €, and to have the strength to go – for 10-12 € :)

2. Those “prepared” in advance can skip this point and immediately go down to the metro and take the L3 line to Lesseps station. 15 minutes on foot, following the signs, and you - in Park Guell– an iconic landmark of Barcelona. In the morning it is most comfortable here, there are few tourists, and the sun is not so hot. 17 hectares of greenery, steps up, steps down, observation platforms and Gaudí’s characteristic “gingerbread” style - exploring the park, including paid areas (8 €), will take about 1.5 hours.

3. Returning the same way to the Catalunya metro station, cross the square and find yourself on the boulevard Rambla– the main tourist street of the city. Every visitor considers it necessary to walk a distance of a kilometer to Columbus monument. And at the same time, consider all the offers from the city’s souvenir and gift industry (at inflated prices) and evaluate the activities of street performers.

4. Here on the boulevard is Boqueria market, where you should definitely look if you want to commemorate your independent exploration of Barcelona in 1 day with an excellent piece of jamon, a portion of selected spices and fresh fruit.

5. Turning off La Rambla, tourists find themselves in Gothic Quarter. This is one of the oldest districts of the Catalan capital, its historical center full of medieval architecture and chaotic streets. There are also objects located here that are not listed in the top attractions of Barcelona, ​​but, nevertheless, are considered the main points of visiting the quarter - Cathedral of Saint Eulalia, Royal Square, Church of Santa Maria del Pi. A suitable place for lunch is the Four Cats cafe at Carrer de Montsio, 3. Gaudi and Picasso once dined here.

6. It will take about half an hour of walking to get to Sagrada Familia Cathedral. To save time, you can take the metro from Passeig de Gracia station and take the L2 line to Sagrada Familia station. If you plan to go inside, purchase your tickets online in advance as... On site you will probably find huge queues at the box office. The basic option of all available tickets costs 15 €, with an audio guide – from 24 €.

7. If your one day in Barcelona falls on Thursday - Sunday, go in the evening to Plaza de España. From Sagrada Familia - take line L2 to Universitat station, change to L1 and go to Espanya station. Starts at 21:00 Singing Fountain Show, which attracts crowds of tourists every day.

However, if you are visiting the city from Monday to Wednesday, or the start time of the show is too late, end your mini-trip with a walk along the Barceloneta promenade.

Where to eat in Barcelona in the evening? A good place is Salamanca on Calle Almirall Cervera, 34, where you can enjoy paella and sangria for dinner with a view of the sea :)

In general, you can immediately simplify your plans for the days ahead by taking a thematic excursion from the locals:

1. Review: How tourists are deceived in Barcelona

1. Five hundred meters up the road was located Casa Batllo at Passeig de Gracia, 43.

1. You can continue your route through Barcelona on foot to the largest in the European part of the world Aquarium, located on Moll d'Espanya, Port Vell.

2. To the largest museum in Barcelona - National Museum of Art of Catalonia– you can get on the metro, reaching the Espanya station and walking through the already familiar Piazza di Spagna up to the majestically towering palace.

In total, the capital of Catalonia has about 180 metro stations scattered across 10 lines. They (lines) are distinguished by numbers - from L1 to L5, L9N, L9S, L10-L11 and FM.

Where to go from Barcelona?

If you have a couple of extra days left, and you have walked the city itself far and wide, then you may ask the question - where to go from Barcelona for 1 day? You don’t have to go very far for new “beach” experiences - the coasts of the Costa Brava (Lloret de Mar) and Costa Dorada, to the south and north of the capital, are rich in golden sands and clear sea waves.

Our trip to Barcelona (Montserrat Mountain and Benedictine Monastery - July 2016)

You can ride a funicular, marvel at the unusual shape of the rocks, listen to the oldest children's choir in the world and touch the Black Madonna just 50 kilometers from Barcelona. To do this, you need to take a train from platform R5 from Espanya station to either the Aeri cable car or the Cremallera funicular. The cost including transport to the top is €21.50 in both directions. You can save at your own risk - buy a train ticket only one way, and ride back as a hare (there are no turnstiles).

Port Aventura and Ferrari Land. In 2013 it cost 42€, in 2018 - 55€. Some of the most famous entertainment in Barcelona, ​​these theme parks will thrill your nerves! Take, for example, the recently opened extreme slide Red Force, which will send you into a free fall from 112 meters. Our knees were giving way for a long time... But even after several trips to Barcelona, ​​every time we come here, we still head to Port Aventura. 🙂

Favorite place Port Aventura (in 2013 it cost 42€, in 2018 - 55€)

Figueres. Where can you go from Barcelona to experience the heritage of Catalan art? To the town where Salvador Dali was born and is buried!

Empuriabrava. The city, dotted with water canals along which locals move sedately on boats, can be found not only in Italy. In Spain it is Empuriabrava. However, instead of gondolas, there are yachts, boats, boats belonging to the owners of villas and mansions built on pieces of land, and professional yachtsmen. To get here you need to drive to Figueres and then take a bus for 4€.

Val de Nuria. This, of course, is no longer in the “what to see in the vicinity of Barcelona” section, because... the place is perhaps closer to Andorra 🙂 However, the picturesque mountains, clear lake, clean air and overwhelming serenity contrast so much with the landscapes and atmosphere of the capital of Catalonia that the 130-kilometer journey is worth it. If you have 3 days or more, stay longer! Get there first by train on line R3 from Placa de Catalunya to Ribes de Freser, and then by funicular train to an altitude of 1950 meters. The cost of a round-trip ticket is 30 €.
