What travellers are saying
- Ali_SanatiVienna, Austria202 contributionsStroll through the well preserved narrow streets and corridors and immerse yourself in a medivial atmosphere.
You could discover old history, from Roman times to modern era.Written 27 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - ZarillaNew York City, NY195 contributionsEye candy for food lovers. Great presentation of all kinds of food. If you eat there stay with the fresh produce and the meats. The empanadas are awful, filled with potatoes and a smear of whatever you are paying for. The fruits and juices are wonderful Its a fun place to spend a couple of hours and shouldn't be missedWritten 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Cdsmith32113 contributionsOf all the cathedrals we visited in Barcelona, this was an actual 'church.' While historic and built of grey stone, it actually had a welcoming air and without the metal grates and ropes to keep visitors and parishioners at bay, actual felt like a place of worship for people and not just a display piece. The history is fascinating and definitely makes this worth a visit and quiet reflection.Written 26 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Chung1234Singapore300 contributionsThis is a nice place to walk about for a while before you enjoy the magic fountain. It is also nearby the Arenas of Barcelona Mall.Written 17 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ANDRE TS1966Weston, FL891 contributionsA nice walk to admire the Barcelonian architecture not only by Gaudi and Miró, but other styles as well. The best neighborhood to see much of it and have a good café..Written 26 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- B WHalton Hills, Canada347 contributionsFantastic park to visit. Visited it first on a bike tour so we got a lot of the history and then returned ourselves. It would be very easy if you are a person who likes parks to be there for hours and sit and relax. Would recommend if you have a few days in the cityWritten 19 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Zooby TravellerLondon, UK108 contributionsDecided to walk up mount Tibidabo to the Church from the centre of Barcelona. If you enjoy walking its a delight and the reward at the top is well worth it. Took us about 2 hours from Plaça de Catalunya. It was early April so the weather was about 18 C so not too hot. Be careful of google maps as it took up a route via Augusta which was full of steep steps. Amazing church with great views of the whole cityWritten 21 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- journeymaid48Fairport, NY966 contributionsThe buildings in this area are all Art Nouveau architectural masterpieces. The period at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century saw the building of these homes for the new wealth of the city most of whom made their fortunes in the textile business. Just walk around and admire these great works.Written 9 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jana CPrague, Czech Republic4,446 contributionsClose to our hotel we walked here all the time and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's quite a large square surrounded by pretty buildings with a nice fountain in the middle. You can get a takeaway or a coffee and enjoy the surroundings.Written 19 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
