Parc Güell

Of all the Gaudi-related attractions in Barcelona, Parc Guell is really a special place. First of all because unlike the others, which are individual buildings, this one is a public park, and therefore much larger. Moreover, it is here that Gaudí decided to have his home built, which today has been converted into the Gaudí House-Museum. Not to mention that from this privileged vantage point, along the slopes of the Carmel hill, you can admire a truly unique panorama of Barcelona, with views ranging from the Glories Tower to the Sagrada Familia, from the Gothic Quarter to the seaside neighbourhoods.

Among the many attractions of Parc Guell, you won’t want to miss the staircase at the entrance, the symbol of which is the dragon – or salamander – all covered in mosaics and quickly becoming the symbol of the park. Climbing the stairs you will reach the Sala Hipostila, a huge open-air area with 86 columns, originally designed to house a market. Finally, don’t leave Parc Guell without visiting Plaza de la Naturaleza, the park’s main terrace, where you’ll find a long bench in the shape of a sea snake where you can stop to rest and take beautiful photos of Barcelona.
