Parc Güell
-
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, this heady brew of architectural wizardry includes trencadís tiling, a serpentine bench, fairy-tale pavilions, Gothic archways, and the columned Sala Hipóstila (originally intended as a market hall). In true Gaudí style, playfulness and symbolism pervade every aspect of the park. The Casa-Museu Gaudí, where Gaudí lived for 20 years, is dedicated to the architect’s life.

This park is Barcelona's equivalent of the Spanish Steps in Rome or the Sacré-Coeur in Paris. It is the best place to go when you first arrive to take in a fantastic view of the city and to experience the spirit of the Catalan capital.
