An excellent guide to all the must sees in Barcelona. I think that crowds really are a major drawback for this city, but it so generously makes up for it with the architecture, food and art. I would make sure to have a wander around Poblenou Cemetery next time which I failed to do on my only trip to Barcelona many years ago. Great work Hannah.

This is fantastic guide to seeing Barcelona. I think my architecture loving heart might burst with joy here- the buildings are so detailed, so colorful, and so unexpected. I can see though why it’s not somewhere that you would immediately fall in love with. It’s hard to fall in love with a city when you have to contend with tourists and time slots.

Very helpful information, Hannah! I love Barcelona, but it is unfortunate that it’s so overcrowded with tourists. I agree with you about Sagrada Familia; it is absolutely stunning.

Amazing itinerary! Surprisingly, I have never been to Barcelona, even though I have been to Spain at least 5-6 times, and it’s been on my list of European cities for a long time! I hope I’ll soon get to visit this beautiful city and I’ll undoubtedly use this great itinerary! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I can’t imagine a hospital building being that fancy!

And the cathedral? Wow! That’s unbelievably ornate. That’s crazy to me that it’s still under construction after 100+ years.

Okay, well now I just can’t even possibly pick a favorite to comment on. There’s so much beautiful architecture. Thanks for this tour of Barcelona! It’s not a place that’s really on my radar or high on my list, but perhaps it should be. Thanks for deciphering the public transit for us. It sounds stressful and confusing.

I was in Spain as a teenager, but the trip didn’t include Barcelona. Then, COVID ruined the trip that had Barcelona in it, and when we revived it, we took the Spain portion out (it was our France/Andorra trip of 2023). It certainly has some not only beautiful, but very unique, sights. The recent news of locals spraying water guns at tourists gives me pause, but maybe going in the off season (if there is one) is the answer…

We visited Barcelona a couple of years ago and really enjoyed seeing Gaudi’s work but could have done without the crowds. We missed out on the Hospital de Sant Pau. It looks quite lovely. It sucks that you had to wait so long to enter Sagrada Familia. We booked tickets for the first time slot of the day. It was an early start, but so worth it to walk through the cathedral without having to elbow our way through a sea of people.

Barcelona does look to have amazing buildings and has been on our radar for a while. I haven’t seen many pictures from the Catalan museum before so now it’s going on the list too. I know what you mean about not falling in love with it and being over run with tourists. We felt that about Granada and a little with Lisbon too and they’re not nearly as busy as Barcelona. Maggie
