7 Days Travel Guide to Barcelona
The city of Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has a rich history and culture, amazing architecture, gorgeous beaches, and fantastic food. In this article, I’ll show you how to explore all that Barcelona has to offer with a 7-day travel guide.
Day 1: Exploring Barcelona
Barcelona is a walkable city, and there’s no better way to experience it than on foot. The best way to explore Barcelona is by taking in all the sights and attractions on foot. There are many museums and art galleries, parks and gardens, restaurants and cafes that you can visit on your first day in the city.
This itinerary will take you through some of Barcelona’s most famous attractions: Sagrada Familia cathedral; Park Guell designed by Antoni Gaudi; La Pedrera (Casa Mila) by Gaudi – all these are architectural masterpieces worth seeing!
Day 2: The Picasso Museum
- The Picasso Museum is a great place to visit. It’s about 30 minutes by foot from the beach, and it’s free to enter! You can find a cafe on the ground floor, as well as a gift shop with some awesome gifts for your friends back home. The museum has many of Picasso’s masterpieces that will amaze you with their beauty and creativity.
Day 3: Poble Espanyol
Poble Espanyol is a miniature village of traditional buildings and houses, located near the city center. It is the largest open air museum in Europe and it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the Spanish culture. There are many activities you can do there such as shopping, eating at restaurants or watching shows.
You can also take photos with characters from famous movies like Harry Potter or Star Wars!
Day 4: The Sagrada Familia
The Sagrada Familia is a Roman Catholic church designed by Antoni GaudÃ. It’s one of the most visited attractions in Barcelona, and it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.
In 1882, Gaudà began designing the basilica as his masterpiece, but he died before its completion. Construction has continued since then under various architects and continues today with no completion date scheduled yet (though they’re getting close!).
The exterior of this cathedral-like building looks like something out of an alien landscape–all twisted spires and undulating curves that seem to defy gravity or at least common sense! But don’t let its unique appearance deter you from visiting; inside are some fantastic stained glass windows representing scenes from Jesus’ life on earth as well as other important events in Christianity’s history (including those involving Adam & Eve).
Day 5: Barcelona’s Ramblas Street
The Ramblas is Barcelona’s main street, and it’s one of the most famous streets in all of Spain. This is where you’ll find some of Barcelona’s most popular sights and attractions, including La Boqueria Market (a large food market) and Placa de Catalunya (the city center). The Ramblas stretches from Plaza de Catalunya down to the port, so there are plenty of things to do along its length!
If you want to spend some time walking along this famous path, make sure that your travel insurance covers medical expenses abroad. You’ll want to look into getting travel insurance before leaving home if you don’t already have it–and if possible buy it as soon as possible after confirming your trip!
Day 6: Gothic Quarter and El Born District
- Gothic Quarter is a great place to visit in Barcelona.
- El Born District is a great place to visit in Barcelona.
These are the most popular places in Barcelona and they’re also the most visited attractions by tourists, so if you want to see what all the fuss is about, go check them out!
Day 7: Gaudis Barcelona Modernista Architecture & Parc Guell Park.
- You can spend all day at Gaudis Barcelona Modernista Architecture and Parc Guell Park, but if you have limited time, we recommend spending half the day in each place.
- There are two ways to get to Parc Guell Park: by metro or on foot. If you’re traveling with kids, take the metro–the walk is pretty long! If not, feel free to walk from where ever your hotel is located as it’s a beautiful stroll through Barcelona’s streets and neighborhoods (about 15 minutes).
- To get from Parc Guell to Casa Batllo via public transportation requires more than one bus ride using various lines (4 buses total), so plan accordingly before heading out for this leg of your trip!
These are some of my favorite places in Barcelona
- The Sagrada Familia, designed by Antoni Gaudi, is a stunning church that’s worth visiting for its architecture alone.
- The Picasso Museum houses some of the most famous works by the Spanish artist, who lived and worked in Barcelona for much of his life.
- Poble Espanyol is an outdoor museum that recreates traditional architecture from around Spain (and includes some Catalan buildings). It’s fun to walk through and get a sense of what life was like before cars took over our cities!
- Ramblas Street is one of Barcelona’s main streets–a great place to see locals going about their daily lives while you walk along enjoying delicious tapas or ice cream cones from street vendors lining either side of this pedestrian-only street! In addition to shopping opportunities here at nightfall when it gets busy with people out enjoying themselves after work hours end…there are also many restaurants nearby where you can sit down for lunch/dinner if desired too 🙂 .
