Barcelona Sightseeing

Want to See Everything?

This is just impossible!
Barcelona sightseeing means a lot of places to see and visit, but do not think you can do it at once. It also depends on you, what you better like to see and your available time for that.

Barcelona is a very nice, friendly and modernist city which is offering you so many sites options that are difficult to classify and list. You already know some reasons from above.

But in Barcelona City, like in other cities in the world, there are also some must see.
Things that you must see, that are mandatory.

Imagine what a shame being in Rio and not visiting the Sugar Loaf, or being in Venice and not visiting St. Marcus Square, or being in Paris and not visiting the Eiffel Tower...

By fortune, there is always a but!

Must See!

I have a list for you of the Places to Visit in Barcelona as well as Barcelona Attractions, that according to the statistic figures, constitute the ten Must See.

Do not worry in case you are in a short trip or a business visit and have no time to see all these sites. Just Hop-on Hop-off the Tourist Bus and see now whatever is possible for you. Leave other places for your next trip.

These are the ten Must See of Barcelona Sightseeing:

Gaudi

Antoni Gaudi was a Catalan architect, a genius and precursor of modern architecture, who created his own style. A mixed style of Gothic and modern architecture. In my opinion, a little baroque style is also present in some constructions.

He deserves a mention, since some attractions are his art pieces.

Picasso

Pablo Picasso is one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century. He is known as co-founder of the Cubist movement and also for the styles´ diversity of his artworks.
The works of Pablo were influenced by different experiences and events in his life.

Some Barcelona sightseeing include a Walk in the footsteps of the Artist.

Dali

Salvador Dali is one of the most famous and best known Surrealist painters of the last century. His paintings are easily recognizable because of their unique symbols and realistic quality.

Salvador Dali
