Barcelona blends the sea, modernisme and street life. The must-see is Gaudí's Sagrada Familia: outside, the Nativity and Passion façades; inside, a forest of columns and stained glass that tints the light red, green and blue; and from the top of its towers, the whole city down to the sea, before coming down a stone spiral staircase. By the water, Port Vell and the Columbus monument, the starting point for La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter, Casa Batlló or Park Güell.
1 day is enough for the Sagrada Familia and the port if you arrive with tickets already bought; with 2 or 3 days you add the rest of Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta beach. Build your itinerary with AI: timings, metro transfers, a day map and an estimated budget in euros.
