Barcelona boasts over 20 Michelin starred restaurants, is home to 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is the single-most-visited city in Spain.

When visiting Barcelona, the Sagrada Familia should be at the top of your list to see. This massive church will perfectly show off the genius of its architect, Antoni Gaudí, because of its avant-garde architecture. You’ll find the Sagrada Familia right in the heart of Barcelona.

The Palau de la Música Catalana is an architectural jewel of Catalan Art Nouveau, the only concert venue in this style to be listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. The modernist building is designed around a central metal structure covered in glass, which exploits natural light to make Doménech I Montaner’s masterpiece into a magical music box.

Las Ramblas is the most famous street of Barcelona, reason why a walk on the Ramblas is a must. It’s 1200 meters long, from the central Plaça Catalunya till the sea. It is full of kiosks, shops, terraces, people, and traffic.

This Picasso museum is a key reference for understanding the formative years of Pablo Picasso. Picasso had a deep relationship with Barcelona, an intimate, solid relationship that was shaped in his adolescence and youth and continued until his death. The museum is near a station for public transport.

The Santa Caterina is one of the many fish markets in Barcelona. The market is indoor and is located on the Avinguda de Francesc Cambó, next to the cathedral of Barcelona. The market has a brightly colored roof, which is an original design. It is a very spacious and modern market, worthy of a visit when in Barcelona.
