Recommended destinations
01 Sagrada Família Basilica
The Sagrada Família Basilica, the genius work of world-renowned architect Gaudí and still under construction nearly 100 years after his death, is Barcelona's most popular attraction and landmark. It's fair to say it represents not only Barcelona but Spain as a whole. Its remarkable artistry has been recognized with UNESCO World Heritage status, so be sure to visit!
02 Park Güell
Another of Gaudí's works listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site alongside the Sagrada Família. The entire park is formed of constantly flowing, organic curves, with broken-tile mosaics creating vivid, colorful patterns. With attractions like the charming lizard fountain and a museum resembling the gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel, it has become one of Barcelona's signature tourist spots.
03 Gothic Quarter
바르셀로나의 구시가지 중심부에 위치한 고딕 쿼터는 중세식 골목이 현대까지 고스란히 남아있는, 그 자체로 역사 박물관이라고 할 수 있는 지역입니다. 중세 시대의 건축물은 물론 로마 시대에 지어진 성벽까지 남아있다고 하니 얼마나 오랜 역사를 품고 있는지 알 수 있어요. 특히 주교의 다리라 불리는 고딕 양식의 거리는 고딕 쿼터 내에서도 가장 유명한 랜드마크로, 다리 아래 조각된 단검에 찔린 해골을 보려는 관광객이 많습니다.
