Barcelona - Highlights

Experience Barcelona's cultural highs – from La Sagrada Família to the Palau de la Música Catalana.

A warren of narrow alleyways and sprawling squares, the Ciutat Vella (old town) gathers around the Gothic Cathedral's spindly spires. Stroll along the tree-lined boulevard of La Rambla, or visit the sumptuous Art Nouveau Palau de la Música Catalana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unearth little-known masterpieces at the Picasso Museum and retreat to Gaudí's fantasy garden, Park Güell.

Gaudí, Gaudí and more Gaudí are the big draw in Eixample, home to the crazed, towering cathedral of La Sagrada Família and a plethora of architectural gems including the Casa Batlló with its reptilian roof and sumptuous wooden interiors.
