“One of my favorite places in the world to travel to is Barcelona. I’m so amazed by its rich architecture, fantastic art, and lively atmosphere. Since many of my trips have been pushed back, I’ve learned to appreciate the memories I’ve made over the years…⁣⁣”

TIP ONE

Where to eat

@schonschoendiy

If you love brunching like we do, @brunchandcake and @flaxandcale is a must! We love the food and the interior is so beautiful.

There is nothing like a Saturday evening at Plaça del Sol in Gracia! People sit on the ground, laugh and talk. Our absolute favorite restaurant for tapas is Sol Soler.

(The best tapas EVER)

TIP TWO

Where to go

@schonschoendiy

Check if the Palo Alto Market is at the weekend while you’re visiting Barcelona.

The location is a dream and you can eat the most delicious food.

We love to eat tequeños there.

TIP THREE

Where to enjoy the view

@schonschoendiy

The view from Bunkers del Carmel is amazing! You can see the whole city.

We love to bring a bottle of wine and sangria to watch the sunset.

TIP FOUR

Tour la Sagrada Familia

@whensheroams

From the plant-filled doors to the tree-like columns, La Sagrada Familia is one of the mind-blowing architectural designs in the city.⁣⁣

TIP FIVE

Where to eat, again!

@whensheroams

Enjoy a refreshing Sangria and delicious paella on the Barceloneta Beach.⁣⁣

Visit Park Güell

@whensheroams

This park is one of my favorite parks in the world. Its architectonic elements, curvy mosaic walls, and animal-shaped structures are not ones to miss.⁣⁣

TIP SEVEN

Check out the W hotel

@whensheroams

Located in the heart of Barceloneta Beach, W Hotel is a must-see for all visitors. Its unique sail-shaped form makes it stand out in the city.⁣⁣

TIP EIGHT

Tour Casa Batlló

This park is one of my favorite parks in the world. Its architectonic elements, curvy mosaic walls, and animal-shaped structures are not ones to miss.⁣⁣
