Must Sees in Barcelona

Barcelona is the most cosmopolitan city in Spain, and one of the Mediterranean’s busiest ports offering something for everyone. Restaurants, bars and clubs abound.  Barcelona is a very popular destination, and they welcome travelers with open arms.

Between the beaches, the cuisine, the history and the architecture, there is no way to see it all in a short visit.  With that in mind, make sure you experience the following.

1. La Sagrada Família

This spectacular iconic church is still under construction, and has been since 1882. Because of the continuous construction, no two visits to Antoni Gaudí’s La Sagrada Família church are ever the same. The work has been funded solely by donations.  The views from La Sagrada Familia are amazing and the church itself is art.

2. Museu Nacional d’art de Catalunya (MNAC)

The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya is an art museum no art lover should miss.  The true stars of the exhibits are the Romanesque frescoes dating back as far as the 11^th century.

3. Montjuïc

Visiting Montjuïc with its beautiful fragrant gardens, fantastic views of the sea and fine museums is a chance to move out of the bustle of busy Barcelona.  http://www.aviewoncities.com/barcelona/montjuic.htm
