Base Elements

Fantastically hip place where I could browse all day. The owner seems really friendly and is knowledgeable about the local scene. There's also a great tea house right next door... cool area of town

Caixa Forum

Great private collection of Impressionist pieces at the Caixa Forum right now... loads of pieces by Renoir, plus Degas, Manet, Gaughin. Some amazing paintings during a very exciting time for art!

MNAC

The Camarasa paintings are amazing. This is a good museum to combine with a sunset trip to Magic Fountain... just check your timings.

Sant Miquel del Fai

Words can't describe how amazing this place is! I'm so glad we did this and not Montserrat. I'm sure Montserrat would be excellent too but I heard it's very touristy and this was beautifully serene. Just a few other tourists and us. I went with the husband and kids and they all loved it. You have to wear sensible footwear if you want to enter the caves and best bring some sunscreen for when you're outdoors but other than that there's not mch to say. Just go and enjoy!

La Sagrada Familia

OMG I LOVE IT. THE LA SAGRA FAMILIA IS TRUELY INSPIRING AND ABSOLUTLY A-MAZING. Antonio Guadi should truely be praised for designing such a magnificent building!!

Mammoth Museum

I couldn't believe our kids were actually allowed to touch so many of the exhibits. I was terrified they would break them. But thankfully they didn't! Needless to say they loved it, and as an adult I was impressed too. It's not the biggest museum, which is perhaps a good thing as well. I'd definitely recommend for children and maybe adults with a special interest in the ice age.

Mammoth Museum

El museo del Mamut tiene los esquiletos auntenticos de edad de Hielo. Tambien hay copies de pinturas repestras. Es muy interesante.

Montjuic Castle

Yes great views but also amazing during Sala Montjuic open air cinema festival and the venue for the Sonar stage of the Montjuic by night festival... so more and more reasons to go visit this 'castle'

Passeig del Born

my favourite hang out in BCN. You can watch the world go by drink a beer or eat some pizza. Like permanent vacation

Passeig de Gracia

Complete contrast to downtown Barcelona this street is open and light with magnificent 19th and 20th century architecture. Warning: the shops are very expensive here so not a good place to locate a bargain

CCCB

Lots of free exhibitions and a great place to spend a rainy day. Recently saw something about Trieste here. Didn't iknow james joyce could write such filthy love letters!

Caixa Forum

Caught a great exhibition here about Russian architecture in early Soviet times, pre-Stalin's monstrosities. Very eye-opening. It's a great building and there's always three or four free exhibitions running at one time, so perfect for those rainy Sundays and fine wintry afternoons. I guess I won't be going much over summer

Santa Maria Del Mar

Placa Catalunya

Great pillow fight here on Sunday! Unbelievable. Love the random stuff that happens in ths city!

reviewed by Jess from United States on Apr.05.2011

Poble Espanyol

A completely unique place and worth visiting for this reason. Also you can easily combine a vist with many other cultural places on Montjuic

Mammoth Museum

Me gusta el museo del mammut!

Flamenco Barcelona

We booked to see a genuine flamenco performance and we weren't disappointed. Although the crowds were mostly tourists like us the singers and dancers were every bit as passionate as you would hope - stomping and clapping until they were running rivers of sweat. Some of the music was spine tingling and intense. The concert was one of the highlights of our trip to Barcelona.

Casa Batllo

Surreal exterior that really showcases Gaudi's genius. This house is actually privately owned and a little more expensive to visit than Casa Milo for example but an essential stop off for lovers of Art Nouveau and Gaudi.

reviewed by Sammy from United States on Feb.05.2011

Casa Vicens

Based on my life of studying mundane archetecture in varying countries around the world, I have concluded that Guadi is the most established and unique dude of all

reviewed by Asara Tkobaganstan from Trinidad and Tobago on Jan.21.2011

Casa Vicens

This build is very pretty. I love the black and white building blocks. Gaudi is like the most amazing architect!!

La Rambla

Ever since El Pais published that story about the prostitutes in La Boqueria things have got much better. It's a lot less sleazy now than in 2009 when I got here. The most irritating thing about La Rambla now is those guys who make the really irritating bird sounds with that stupid toy which they sell. Please Mr. Mayor pass a new law and make it illegal!

reviewed by Christian from Germany on Jan.15.2011

Palau de la Musica Catalana

A truly great example of Modernista architecture. Shame that the close proximity of other buildings means you can't behold it in all its glory. The Palace of Catalan Music should definitely feature on any top ten cultural attractions list of Barcelona IMHO!
