Barcelona in one day
#eurotrip #passionpassport
This route of Barcelona in a day begins by entering the Sagrada Familia first thing in the morning, one of the most essential places to visit in Barcelona. This masterpiece by the great modernist architect Antoni Gaudí is the most visited monument in the city. And although Gaudí did not have time to finish the temple, the works are expected to end in 2026, which with its naturist style and the techniques used, make it a unique place in the world.
To visit the church we recommend you go first thing in the morning, they open at 9 in the morning, as there are long queues and the number of daily tickets is limited. A good option is to book this guided tour in Spanish with which you will ensure entry, one of the best tours in Barcelona, and you will also avoid waiting in line. You also have the option to climb one of the towers and enjoy the views. If you opt for this option, we recommend booking this guided tour, which includes a climb up the tower.
In addition, very close to the Sagrada Familia is another modernist wonder of the city, the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, a complex of hospital buildings designed by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner and his son, which is another of the places of Barcelona declared a World Heritage Site and for which we recommend taking a walk through its large central square and entering some of its most interesting modernist buildings.
The Barcelona in a day route continues up to the upper part of the city to walk through one of the most beautiful parks in the world, Park Güell, where Antoni Gaudí was inspired by the undulating forms of nature to create this park full of of sculptures, buildings and fountains.
The Barcelona in a day route ends in the afternoon touring the Paseo de Gracia, which connects the Barrio de Gracia with the Plaza de Catalunya. This great avenue is flanked by large modernist buildings, national and international brand stores, and restaurants, where you can eat if you have not done so before.
