About this pick
Gaudí Trail is one of our hand-picked Sightseeing finds for Barcelona. Sagrada to Park Güell in a day.
Why Barcelona? Barcelona pairs Gaudí's dreamlike architecture with a gridded 19th-century core, Mediterranean beaches and a fierce Catalan identity. The city is known for Gaudí and modernisme, beaches in the city, tapas and vermouth and football.
Good to know: May–June and September offer warm sea and comfortable days without August's peak crowds. The metro is fast and cheap; the old city and Eixample are very walkable.
