Barcelona has become famous for the beautiful buildings of architect Antoni Gaudí such as Parc Guell and the Sagrada Familia, the fine beaches, good shopping opportunities and a vibrant nightlife. What are the other highlights and attractions in Barcelona?

Gaudí Attractions: Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia

The absolute number 1 highlights of Barcelona is without a doubt the Sagrada Familia, the unfinished church of Antoni Gaudí. Both inside and out, the church is teeming with details and inside you can see a beautiful play of colored light. In addition to the Sagrada Familia, you will find many other Gaudi buildings in Barcelona, such as Parc Guell. This Park Guell city park is known for the salamander at the entrance and the many benches inlaid with mosaics. In addition, Gaudi has designed several buildings and apartment complexes such as Casa Batllo, Casa Mila (La Pedrera), Casa Vicens and the Palau Güell. It is definitely recommended to visit at least one of these beautiful buildings and Parc Guell during your Barcelona city trip.

Camp Nou and FC Barcelona Stadium

For the real football fan, Camp Nou tickets will probably also be on the wish list. The stadium of Barcelona Camp Nou is one of the largest football stadiums in the world and it is possible with the Camp Nou Experience to take a tour of the Barcelona stadium, taking in the dressing rooms, press rooms, dug-outs and the FC Barcelona museum with the extensive prize cabinet. Visiting a football match can often be arranged very well, so that you can experience the stadium even better during a real evening with Camp Nou tickets.
