10 Places you can't miss during your visit to Barcelona

Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in the world.
From its extensive offer of cultural and leisure activities, to its imposing architecture of modernism. Like the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and Park Güell. Built by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí. In addition to its most emblematic neighborhoods: the Gothic, the Born, Barceloneta or Gracia. Its cuisine is excellent. Typical dishes that you can not fail to try are the tapas and traditional Catalan cuisine accompanied by a glass of champagne.
Whether you travel for business or pleasure. With family or friends, My Space Barcelona has prepared a guide to briefly describe each of the places I recommend you visit on your trip to Barcelona.

LA SAGRADA FAMILIA

 


The great work of the architect Gaudí, the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism. The Christian church that is estimated to become the highest in the world, in 2026 when the monument is completed. On the outside, the three façades dedicated to the Nativity, Passion and Glory of Jesus stand out. It is one of the most visited places by tourists who visit the county town every year.

CASA BATLLÓ



It is one of Gaudí's best works in Barcelona. World Heritage Site. Located on Paseo de Gracia, Casa Batlló is a jewel of Catalan modernism. It has an imposing façade and its interior features a courtyard of lights and a roof full of surprising chimneys. It is also interesting to visit the neighbouring buildings: Casa Amatller, Casa Josefina Bonet, Casa Mulleras and Casa Lleó Morera, all of which are brilliant works of Modernist architecture and which together form the so-called Manzana de la discordia (apple of discord).

LAS RAMBLAS



A beautiful one and a half km avenue for a relaxed walk. Surrounded by street artists. There you will find the La Boquería market, which has numerous stalls selling quality products and tapas restaurants. There is also the Miró mosaic, famous for being the place where the fans of the Barcelona Football Club celebrate their titles. And drinking water from the Canaletas fountain, a classic ritual: they say that whoever drinks their water, returns to Barcelona.

HOSPITAL DE LA SANTA CREU I SANT PAU



Built between 1902 and 1930 by the Modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner and his son, it is another of Barcelona's buildings that have been declared a World Heritage Site. It is located just a few metres from the sacred family. It has a large central square, where patients were once helped to recover. In 2009 the hospital and medical staff were moved. It is a place with a lot of history, where even guided tours are available.
