Barcelona with kids?

Question

What are some great things to do with a 14 year old and 9 year old?

Answer 1

Goudi (?) park.  weird and colorful and the walk will tire them out.

Answer 2

Barcelona is a great city for the adults and the kids. This are my recommendations:

1. The Tibidabo is a historic amusement park in the top of   a   hill with the best view of the city. Take the cremayera train is an incredible ride.

2. La Sagrada Familia. The famous incomplete church is the masterpiece of Gaudi. Visit the museum and the store at the basement (is a good place to buy souvenirs from Barcelona). If you want to get a little scare take the elevator to one of the towers, the view of the city is great but the sensation is a little weird.

3. The Zoo. Is a small but good zoo. A good place to spend an evening with the kids. Rent a electrical car to move in the zoo, the kids will love to drive the car.

4. A walk on La Rambla is a most from Plaza Cataluña to the monument of Colon. Stop in the Mercado the La Boqueria for fruits and to see what the locals eat. You can see statues persons along the way (persons with costumes that stay hours without movement).

5. El Pueblo Español (the Spanish Town). Is a small town with copy of street and buildings of the different regions of Spain. The place is near the Olympic city.

6. The aquarium on the water front. Is a good one.

7. Parque Guell. Is a park on a hill designed by Gaudi. With beautiful and funny architecture and with a terrace overlooking the city is definetely a place for the kids. Take a taxi to get there because the walk up hill is not easy.

The best way to see this principal attractions and a few more is to take the touristic buses in Plaza Cataluña. The red and blue lines are safe and reliable.

Buen viaje !
