10 Great Things To Do In Barcelona

1. Sagrada Familia

An extraordinary church designed by the architect Antonio Gaudi and is World Heritage site. Great for architecture, photography and typography however not so good standing in the long queue on a hot day for a view. An unfinished monument but the most visited in Spain attracting 2.8 million visitors a year.











2. L'Aquarium de Barcelona

A popular attraction for kids who will love to view sharks, stingrays whilst walking through an 80-metre long underwater glass tunnel. Also L’Aquarium de Barcelona offers visitors an opportunity to dive with sharks (divers), and also sleeping with the sharks which is a program that gives 8-12 year olds the experience to spend the night at the aquarium following a session of educational activities.


3. Poble Espanyol de Montjuic (The Spanish Village)

Another Barcelona attraction is a small beautiful Spanish village for tourists who seek different styles of houses and architecture from different parts of Spain. Also this village includes craft shops, works shops and the open-air museum showing off the tradition and culture of Spain and its Spanish goods.







4. La Pedrera

La Pedrera is another beautiful creation by Antonio Gaudi. This building was once called Casa Mila but in the present known as La Pedrera. Enjoy a tour giving you a better understanding of and appreciation of the architecture and transports in the period when Antio Gaudi was once alive.
