A curated starting point, with a different reason to choose each visit.
Combine one main visit with nearby walks and a manageable pace.
Choose Gaudí’s basilica when architecture is your main priority; compare the visit format before choosing a time.
Sagrada Família →Leave space for Gaudí’s park and its uphill approach rather than treating it as a quick stop.
Parc Güell →Choose an immersive house visit along Passeig de Gràcia.
Casa Batlló guide →Group the Gothic Quarter and El Born, keep Passeig de Gràcia visits together, and give Park Güell or Montjuïc their own travel time.
