Proud, explosive, narcissistic, full of geniuses and mediocrities, tiring and weary… and all of this describes Barcelona—one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Montjuic Hill
A tour of Barcelona should begin with Montjuic Hill. The city was built behind this hill to shelter its homes from the sea winds and storms.

At the foot of Montjuic Hill is a “magic” fountain, the illumination of which creates a truly magical effect from the shimmering water.

Picasso Museum
The Pablo Picasso Museum is the world’s largest collection of works by the great artist, created between 1895 and 1904. The museum houses 3,800 works. The Barcelona museum houses some of the most famous paintings of that period, “First Communion” and “Science and Charity.”

Old Port
During your stroll through the port, be sure to visit the Maritime Museum. It houses a large collection of ship models, navigational instruments, and ancient maps.

Another famous museum in the Old Port is dedicated to the history of Catalonia. It features exhibits on the arrival of the first settlers in Catalonia and the development of Barcelona in the last century.

Gothic Quarter
The Gothic Quarter is the heart of Barcelona. Beautiful buildings that witnessed Catalonia’s glorious history are now used as a recreational area.

Be sure to visit the famous landmarks of this quarter: the Royal Palace Complex, the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia, the Palace of the Generalitat, and stroll through Plaça Reial and Plaça Sant Jaime.

Park Güell
Park Güell is a joint project between philanthropist Güell and architect Antoni Gaudí. At the beginning of the last century, it was intended to be an elite community of 60 villas. However, due to the economic crisis, construction of the villas was halted. The land was converted into a municipal park, but all of Gaudi’s genius ideas were preserved.
