Here we leave you an itinerary so you can visit the city in two days.
Day 1 in Barcelona
After a hearty breakfast, we will begin our visit in the Gothic Quarter and Cathedral. This neighborhood is one of the oldest and most historic, which will help us get a wonderful first impression of the city. During the tour, we can also take a break at the terraces that make up this area.
We will continue to Plaza de Cataluña and Las Ramblas, both must-visit sites in Barcelona. Within Las Ramblas is the Mercado de La Boquería, one of the most well-known markets in Europe. It dates back to 1836 and has more than 200 stalls offering a wide variety of traditional Spanish cuisine, as well as international products. Without a doubt, this visit will not go unnoticed by our senses.
At the end of our walk along Las Ramblas, we will find the old port, a very pleasant place indeed.
In the harbor, we also have the opportunity to visit the Maremagnum Shopping Center, a very distinctive shopping center with countless shops, but what stands out most about this center are its wonderful views of the sea.
Taking advantage of our location by the port, we will enjoy Catalan gastronomy at one of the many terraces and bars this area has to offer.
Day 2 in Barcelona
After getting our first taste of the city, we will continue with our second day in Barcelona.
We will start big by visiting La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's masterpiece, which is still under construction today. If it’s our first time in Barcelona, this visit will leave us completely amazed.
About a 20-minute walk away, we encounter another jewel by Gaudí, La Pedrera, also known as Casa Milà, commissioned by the politician Pere Milà. Admiring its façade is truly impressive. Perhaps, the most characteristic feature of this monument is its rooftops, which are a must-visit as they offer spectacular views of the city.
After visiting these two architectural gems, we will head to Park Güell, another work by architect Gaudí. It is located in the upper part of the city.
It was inaugurated in 1922 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. It is one of the identifying symbols of the city and a magical place to stroll. Here we can appreciate a wide variety of gardens and trees with geometric shapes, mosaics, two little houses that look like they’re straight out of a fairy tale, as well as a viewpoint that offers beautiful views of Barcelona.
If you are feeling brave and still have time and energy, you can continue exploring areas like the Born neighborhood, one of the most charming neighborhoods in Barcelona.
