Park Güell
The classic Barca photo-op. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance to visit this park, it will allow you to skip the lines and beat the heat. The park is located on Carmel Hill in Barcelona and offers jaw-dropping views of the city below and the ocean in the distance. This park is one of Gaudí’s major works and although his use of glass is exquisite, the park is quite small. You only need about an hour here.

La Sagrada Familia
This unfinished Roman Catholic church is another one of Gaudí’s masterpieces. Beginning in 1882, the cathedral is set to be completed in the year 2026. The unique exterior of this cathedral resembles a giant drip-sandcastle and has 18 towers. The interior contains high ceilings, spiral staircases, white columns, and utilizes natural light in the most stunning way; Sagrada Familia is said to have the world’s most beautiful stained glass, which shines color onto the walls and columns. Buy your ticket in advance to visit this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Mercado de La Boqueria
Located right off of La Rambla, La Boqueria is a large, open, public market that serves a wide variety of food. For a cheap and delicious lunch my friends and I wandered around the various booths; I ended up eating chocolate-covered strawberries, fresh fruit, a taco, fried fish, and thai noodles. This place really has it all.

Platja de la Barceloneta
Barcelona beach is the perfect place to just hangout and catch some rays. The beach is surprisingly clean for being located right in the city, although there are a lot of gypsies selling drinks and offering massages…both of which I recommend declining. Barcelona beach is characterized by the uniquely shaped W hotel and the many outdoor restaurants that sit on the sand.

Brunch & Cake
You can’t leave Barcelona without eating a meal here. This restaurant is so trendy and has some of the best food that I’ve ever tasted. The menu is very unique and the food is displayed beautifully. This restaurant is extremely busy, but the food is worth the wait!

Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona
This Spanish arch is a replica of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and is the entrance to Parc de la Ciutadella. This park has a beautiful fountain, a pond that you can row boats in, a zoo, and is a popular hangout spot among the locals. It would also make the perfect place for a picnic!

La Rambla
This pretty tree-lined pedestrian mall is located in the city center. The walkway stretches about a mile long and is lined with shops, souvenir stands, and restaurants, with the most famous one being La Boqueria market. Since this is a popular tourist destination, be watchful for pickpockets!
