  1. If you have a few days, I suggest taking the official Barcelona Tourist Bus on your first day to get an idea of how the city is laid out and which sites interest you.  Tickets are about EUR 18 per adult, but the book of coupons you receive means the tour  MORE than pays for itself.  You get a 10% discount if you buy the bus ticket online and redeem the voucher for a ticket in Placa Catalunya.  

    Don't miss the Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, Las Ramblas and Parc de la Ciutadella.  Make time for Montjuic, the MACBA (Contemporary Art Museum), strolling through the Barri Gotic and visiting Casa Mila.  In the summer, spend an afternoon at the beach (try those by the Olympic Port).  If you have time to take a day trip, go to Montserrat to take in the amazing views from the cable car and hear the exceptional boys choir.

    I lived in Barcelona for three months and have a website about my favorite things to do.  Check the link below.


  2. Go visit Casa Mila ( a beautiful place)

    and Sagrada Familia cathedral

  3. Here are some places of interest in Barcelona that i have recomended for u.

       1) La Pedrera

    La Pedrera was built between 1905 and 1910 as a combined apartment and office block. Formerly called the Casa Milà, it's better known now as La Pedrera (the quarry) because of its uneven grey stone facade that ripples around a street corner - it creates a wave effect that's further emphasized by elaborate wrought-iron balconies. Visitors can tour the building and go up to the roof, where giant multicoloured chimney pots jut up like medieval knights. On summer weekend nights, the roof is eerily lit and open for spectacular views of Barcelona. One floor below the roof is a modest museum dedicated to Gaudí's work

    2)Tibidabo

    At 542m (1778ft), Tibidabo is the highest hill in the wooded range that forms the backdrop to Barcelona. If the air's clear, it's a great place for views over the city. The locals come up here for some thrills at the amusement park Parc d'Atraccions, which has rides and a house of horrors. As hair-raising as anything at the Parc, however, is the glass lift that goes 115m (126yd) up to a visitors' observation area at Torre de Collserola telecommunications tower. The more sedate can find solace in Temple del Sagrat Cor, Barcelona's answer to Paris' Sacré Coeur; it's even more vilified by aesthetes than its Paris equivalent. Looming above Tibidabo's funicular station, it is actually two churches, one on top of the other. The top one is surmounted by a giant Christ and has a lift to the roof.

    3)La Sagrada Familia

    La Sagrada Familia is truly awe-inspiring - even if you don't have much time, don't miss it. The life's work of Barcelona's favourite son, Antoni Gaudí, the magnificent spires of the unfinished cathedral imprint themselves boldly against the sky with swelling outlines inspired by the holy mountain Montserrat. They are encrusted with a tangle of sculptures that seem to breathe life into the stone. Gaudí died in 1926 before his masterwork was completed, and since then, controversy has continually dogged the building program. Nevertheless, the southwestern (Passion) facade, with four more towers, is almost done, and the nave, begun in 1978, is progressing. Some say the shell should have been left as a monument to the architect, but today's chief architect, Jordi Bonet, argues that the task is a sacred one, as it's a church intended to atone for sin and appeal to God's mercy on Catalunya.

  4. You can enjoy strolling in Las Ramblas with all the flower stools and stop for a refreshing drink in any of the many outdoor cafes before going to admire the best gaudi's architecture with the impressive church of Sagrada Familia (look at it in google images if you don't know what it is, it's so impressive! and it's not even finished yet!), Park Guell, Casa Mila and Casa Batllo... If you like football, you can watch a match of Barcelona Football Team (which will be proclaimed the best in Europe in 3 weeks time if we can beat Arsenal) in the biggest football stadium in Europe. But make sure you keep some energy to enjoy the city's night life! Afterward, you can take a break from the big city and go just a few km north to spend a relaxing week in the Costa Brava, where the rocky beaches will leave you speechless and also you'll be able to stimulate your cultural side by visiting Dali's house in Figueres. Also, check out for festivals in the area for the daes you'll be there for, there are literally festivals going on every single week of the year in places not too far from the city.

    Check out the following web page

  5. The Picasso museum is excellent.  Take a guided tour since there is so much interesting info about Picasso that would not get if you just walked through yourself.  Also all of the architecture by Gaudi, which is so interesting and different from anything I have ever seen.  Also, check out the food markets.  They are fascinating and fun.  However, be careful because this is also a very dangerous city.  My friend was a victim of attempted robbery in the middle of a crowded street in the middle of the day!  She was lucky, but many people are not.  Also, be wary of street shows where they try to hustle you for money.  These people are usually all working together (some pretending to be spectators) to draw you in.  Be safe and have fun!

  6. Loads. Sagradia Familia, Parc Guille, Las Rambles,The Olympic village Or just find a park and soak it all up. Use the metro to get around, it is lovely and air conditioned. Try and get The architect Gaudi designed much of the city. If you like art deco check out one of his tours.

    It is a wondeful city, hope you have a great time :)

  7. neu camp, barcelonas footy stadium, even if your not into football is great to see for the sheer size. Also the olympic stadium and if you into your history etc theres a very old important cathedral in the centre too. theres three to go on with we went last year and had a fab time

  8. If you're going to be there this weekend, try to catch a bus ride to the "Circuit de Catalunya" race track and purchase a general admission ticket to the Formula One World championship race which happens once a year and is on this weekend.  You will see all types of people of many nationalities ranging from normal people to celebrities and jet-setters (local and from abroad), even the king of Spain will be there because the championship front-runner and favorite to win this race is from Spain.  You will marvel at the speed and technology, the sights and the sounds.  It will be a great experience to attend this world class event.
