The tour can continue along Las Ramblas, enjoying its atmosphere and its buildings, such as the Teatro del Liceo. You can end the day in Barceloneta, if it is to watch the sunset, much better.
Day 2. The Gothic Quarter and its surroundings
On your second day in Barcelona you can start by visiting the Parc de la Ciutadella, where the Parliament of Catalonia is located. Very close to the Arc de Triomf, in one of the best areas of Barcelona and a few steps from the Gothic Quarter, our next destination.
In the Gothic Quarter you should not miss the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia, the Plaza del Rey or the Plaza de Sant Jaume, but the best thing you can do is get lost in its streets and enjoy.
Seeing the Torre Agbar illuminated can be a good option to end the day, but not before passing through the Basilica of Santa María del Mar.
In order not to miss anything, we recommend this Medieval Barcelona Tour that takes you through these and other places.
Day 3. Park Güell
Parc Güell, one of the essential places to see in Barcelona, is the first destination of our third day in the city.
Parc Güell is large and has many hidden and interesting corners. That is why we recommend that you do this Free Tour through Park Gúell so that you do not miss anything.
This beautiful park, the work of Gaudí, will surprise you and you will not want to leave it, but there is still much to visit in Barcelona and we can later go back to the Ramblas area to do some shopping around the Plaza de Catalunya or the Portal de l’Angel.
The Boquería Market is also an essential destination in the city.
Day 4. Gaudí’s day
We can dedicate the fourth day to Gaudí. If you were surprised by Parc Güell the day before, you will be much more surprised by the Sagrada Familia, the great masterpiece of the architect, which is still under construction.
The queues to enter the Sagrada Familia can be long, so to make the most of the day we recommend that you take this guided tour to visit the Sagrada Familia without queues.
From there it’s time to walk enjoying the typical architecture of L’Eixample, especially Paseo de Gracia, where Casa Milá and Casa Batlló are located, other Gaudí masterpieces.
Other modernist buildings that you can visit in Barcelona are the Palau de la Música or the Palau Güell, the latter next to Las Ramblas, which we never get tired of visiting.
