10 Things to do in Barrio Gòtico (Barri Gòtic) That You Shouldn't Miss
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

This fascinating area is steeped in history, with city hall located in the same spot where kings once reigned. You'll find narrow streets and squares here, with Gothic mansions, museums, historic churches, bars and restaurants. The Placa del Rei is reputedly the place where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella welcomed Columbus after his voyage to America.

My 17 and 21 year old daughters, husband and I visited this museum on a weekday afternoon. There was no line and in fact few other visitors while we were there. There was a very interesting display of Barcelona and surrounding region from prehistory through the 13th century, including tools, currency, and life story. For me the real magic is UNDER the MUHBA where Roman ruins have been excavated. The manner in which they are presented, with audio and written explanations of the city composition, clothes dying and washing, wine making, roads, and manner in which structures were reused was fascinating for all of us. The price was the deal of our Barcelona visit, at 7 euros per adult and 5 euros per student.

This place is tucked away without much in the way of markings. It is incredible to think about how old these artifacts are. Of particular interest there is a stone block that has a Roman era inscription. Plus - it is free admission so the price is right.
