Barcelona, Spain is a European tourist mecca and a must-visit city if you are visiting Europe. The city has everything from amazing food, great attractions, and amazing nightlife, so there is something for everybody.
I have visited Barcelona once and it was amazing, here you will find my top Ten things to do in Barcelona from attractions to where to eat and what to eat, so you do not make some of the mistakes that I made. Let us dive into the Top 10 things to do in Barcelona, Spain.
La Sagrada Familia is by far the most popular and well know attraction in Barcelona. You can not visit Barcelona and not see La Sagrada Família, the most famous Gaudi building created and his biggest legacy to date.
Most of the attractions in Barcelona were made by Antoni Gaudi, one of the most famous architects of today. Park Guell is where he transferred his normal work on buildings onto gardens.
Today Park Guell is a UNESCO heritage site and in most situated very crowded and hard to get into, so be sure to grab your tickets online if you wish to visit.
Opening hours are the following:
Casa Batllo is one of the three houses on the block between Carrer del Consell de Cent and Carrer d’Aragó, and all three were renovated from 1898 to 1906. These houses are some of the most interesting and best works of Gaudi and Barcelona’s attractions that you can see.
If you wish to go inside the Casa Batllo opening hours are from 9.00 to 21.00, last admission 20.00, the prices range from 28.50 Euros to up.
Next to Casa Batllo, you can see Casa Mila, the last private residence of Gaudi himself, this house has been under UNESCO protection since 1984, and once visited you will easily see why.
The architecture and art inside are amazing are a must-visit in my opinion.
Who doesn’t like shopping, buying souvenirs, and looking around on what to buy next? Las Ramblas is the shopping street, here you can buy your souvenirs, or just shop till you drop. Remember that you can have some great meals here also after a long day of walking around the shops.
Spanish cuisine is one of the best and most interesting ones that I have had in my time traveling. Tapas with vermouth, churros, fried squid, and traditional Spanish tortilla, there are some amazing things to eat in Barcelona.
Some of my favorite restaurants to check out are:
Also, Spain has some of the best desserts in Europe, so be sure to check them out.

Go and relax on some of Barcelona’s famous beaches with a cocktail in your hands and legs up in the air. It is really nice to walk on the beach when the sunset is going down and grabbing a cocktail at a beach bar.
Montjuïc is a hill that overlooks the main street in Barcelona. Beneath the Montjuïc, you can see the magical Fountain of Montjuïc alongside with Museum of national art of Catalonia.
Magical Fountain of Montjuïc is the most romantic place in the whole of Barcelona, and a place where a lot of proposals are made, so be sure to practice your clapping skills when visiting fountains at night.
