350m from the hotel. To stroll around the Cathedral is like stepping back in time. Visit the columns of the Temple of Augustus (1st century BC), the Barcelona History Museum in Plaça del Rei, and the Bishop's Bridge (Pont del Bisbe). Wander through its streets and don't forget to take a picture of the popular Kiss Wall by Joan Fontcuberta.
750m from the hotel. La Rambla is the city's most popular avenue. Stroll along its 1,2km divided into 5 sections (each with a different name). Visit the Boqueria Market, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the iconic Plaça Reial, or Antoni Gaudí's Palau Güell, among other must-see attractions.
1,3km from the hotel. The MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art with works from the 1940s to the present) and the CCCB (Center for Contemporary Culture with creative arts exhibitions) occupy two beautiful buildings in Plaça dels Àngels.
900m from the hotel. In the lower section of La Rambla, you'll find several interesting attractions related to the sea: the Columbus Monument, the Maritime Museum, the Old Port (Port Vell), and the Aquarium. A short walk further will take you to the Barceloneta district and its beaches.
400m from the hotel. In the picturesque Born district, the former merchants' quarter, you can visit the Palau de la Música Catalana (a modernist masterpiece by Domènech i Montaner), the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, as well as the Picasso and Moco Museums, both located on the charming Montcada Street. And if you're traveling with children, don't miss the Chocolate Museum.
1,2km from the hotel. The “Block of Discord” is the name given by Barcelonans to the group of Modernist buildings on Passeig de Gràcia: Casa León i Morera (Domènech i Montaner), Casa Amatller (Puig i Cadafalch), and Casa Batlló (Antoni Gaudí). The name refers to the rivalry between owners and architects to create the most spectacular house in the Eixample district (19th century).
Originally designed as a residential area in a garden with panoramic views on the outskirts of Barcelona (1900), Park Güell has been a public park since 1918, reflecting Gaudí's naturalist period across more than 17 hectares.
Gaudí dedicated 43 years to create "the perfect temple": The Sagrada Familia is revolutionary in many ways (structure, height, construction techniques, and symbolism). It represents the architect's artistic peak and the synthesis of all his previous works. The Expiatory Temple of the Sagrada Familia is a symbol of Barcelona's identity and the greatest example of Modernist architecture worldwide.
Montjuïc mountain is characterized by its cliff-like shape that plunges into the Mediterranean Sea. Montjuïc is home to the MNAC (National Art Museum of Catalonia), the Foundation of the painter Joan Miró, the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion (1929), the Poble Espanyol, and Montjuïc Castle. If you're traveling with children, don't miss the Magic Fountain and the cable car.
A little further from the city center, we recommend visiting: The Horta Labyrinth Park (1792) comprises several gardens and is notable for its cypress maze. Perfectly preserved, the Royal Monastery of Santa Maria de Pedralbes (14th century) is one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic architecture (with the largest Gothic in the world).
