To discover the old town of Barcelona, take a walk through the Gothic Quarter and visit the Cathedral of Barcelona. Then walk through the Born visiting the Museo Picasso. While walking down Las Ramblas, you have to visit Boquería Market and eat at one of its stalls. After, you can discover the neighbourhood of El Raval which is less touristic, and has several small restaurants and bars in which you can relax.

Passeig de Gracia and Sagrada Familia

Antoni Gaudí made Barcelona famous because of the the influence he had on many buildings, and you can discover his work route along Passeig de Gracia and discover La Perdrera and Casa Batlló. Even if you don’t visit both of these, we still suggest you walk to look at them from the street to see the unique decoration on the buildings. After the visit you can walk through the Gracia neighbourhood and eat dinner in one of its restaurants. Then to finish the day you can visit the most spectacular work by Gaudí, the Sagrada Familia.

In the afternoon, you can go to Parc de la Ciutadella, feed the ducks take and take a nap under a palm-tree, but don’t forget to pass by the little Arc de Triomf. In the evening, as you are not far from the sea you can walk along the beach and dine in one of Barceloneta’s restaurants.
