Things to do in Barcelona, Catalonia: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

Marked by a mixture of modern stores with traditional street food, vendors and several markets and side plazas, this long street covered in trees is an easy walk with something of interest the entire way. Easy walk from Placa Catalunya down to Port Zell along this walkway. Loved it.

Ride to the top, and you'll see! The Columbus Monument which was dedicated in 1888 as part of the ceremonies marking the Universal Exhibition, stands at the end of La Rambla of Barcelona, near the sea. Take the lift inside the column to the viewing gallery at the top, a viewpoint 60 meters above the ground, where you can enjoy great views of Barcelona.

The Parish of the Mother of God of Bethlehem is simple and serene yet exudes a sense of spirituality that transcends its surroundings - Las Ramblas. The baroque building retains its original façade but the interior was gutted in an 1936 fire. There are 10 chapels within. Chapel highlights include the ceramic canopy of Manel Padrós, Blessed Sacrament tabernacle, Oils of the Virgin of the Abandoned and the door of the Child Jesus also known as "Jesus of the Rambla".
