What to see in Barcelona for 1 day
The first day in Barcelona is best to devote to the standard tourist route and inspect its historic center and Catalonia Square. There are tens of places of attractions Barcelona. We will try to run on the main one.
Square Catalonia
Start Walking in Barcelona is best to start how many travel guides are advised. . This is not only a historic place, but also the city's transport center, to get here the easiest. Focusing in the city is also easier relative to this place.
Another plus of this place is a tourist center where you can buy a Barcelona card for 1 €, here it does not hesitate for free as in other tourist cities.
Street La Rambla
From Catalonia Square begins street La Rambla This is the most famous and most tourist street of Barcelona. Beginning at the area, it goes to the sea long in 1.5km and ends with a monument to Columbus. Walking along this street is not always measured, because She is simply filled with tourists. Walking through it stands to the Beria market.
Beria Market
Beria Market This is one of the attractions of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bits most adapted for tourists with naturally inflated prices. In the heat, refreshing juices, sliced \u200b\u200bfruits, are sold, just right in the middle of the market there are a mini-cafe, where you can eat freshly prepared fish or other inhabitants of the sea. At the sight, some of them do not look very appetizing.
Rambla Del Raval Street and Ravali Cat
After the market it is worth getting off the street La Rambla to visit another one streetsRambla del Raval . This is mini red Light Area in Barcelona. The trading of the carnal pleasures is not so open here as in Amsterdam, but the girls offering their services a lot.
Those who are not interested in the topic of paid sex should not be bypassing this street by side. Apparently, to attract here more tourists on the street installed the sculpture of a very nice and very large cat whose nickname Ravali cat From the name of the street, but he has a second name on behalf of the sculptor Cat Botero.
But to meet the parrots on this street was quite unexpected for me. Perhaps for Barcelona is a normal phenomenon.
Palace Gulea
Not far from the Red Lantern district is Palace Gulea This is one of the first buildings of the Gaudi architect, which you will see if you go on my route. Many go to Barcelona not for the sake of beaches and rest, but to see the Gaudi buildings who became the work of art under the open sky. The photo of this palace has not been preserved, but if you wish, they can be seen online.
Monument Columbus
We return to La Rambla Street and go to the monument to Columbus at the end of the street. The monument was not easy because it is a port city, because after the opening of the new continent, the navigator arrived in Barcelona to report on the results of his navigation.
The height of the column of 60 meters and there can be climbed to the surveillance site for 6 € buying a ticket. What would the money seemed to be spent in vain you will give a glass of wine to your choice for tasting.
Near the monument are two beautiful buildings - buildingseaport Barcelona and Building of port customs , and if you go further on the pier, then you can go on Oceanarium Barcelona . This is great entertainment for children.
- For 1 day costs 20 € for an adult and 15 € for children from 5-10 years. (Gallery 9374 and 9360)
Those who are tired of the walk and from the aquarium can go to wet legs into the sea or even sunbathe to the nearest beach Sant Sebastia on the pier to go 1.5km. In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhe is considered the youth and most part, for a family with children here can be quite noisy, especially in the evening, when youth in the company gather with alcoholic beverages.
Also, do not be surprised if someone shall be up to the goal and fit to swim in the sea, and then it turns out again. In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bit is not prohibited and I watched in the evening on this beach such a picture more than once. If for someone my description it turns out to be frightening, then you should not worry, everything happens peacefully and how the jagged companies and nudist-swimmers did not seem to represent some threat. Only annoyed beer sellers and other drinks, driving on the beach in large quantities.
Gothic Quarter
After the beach, you should return to the center and visit the Gothic Quarter. The name is mystical, which is actively using guides by arranging thematic excursions in the quarter. What would be even more catching up the atmosphere happens in the evening. An example of such an excursion -.
In the quarter you will see landmarks like Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Holy Evlalia, Canoniki Bridge, Royal Palace, Sant Jaume Square or St. Jacob and if you wish, some more different buildings, I listed only the main ones.
Show Flamenco
Here in the Gothic Quarter you can get to the flamenco show in one of the bars, and at the lowest price of 20 € complete with a glass of wine. You can book a table and better do it in advance, especially in the tourist season.
You can pay up to 30 € and buy dinner, but according to the reviews of the show so fascinates that I don't want to be distracted for dinner, because the whole action lasts a little less than 2 hours and the wine glasses is quite enough.
It may arise that for such a price and in such a place you will not see the real flamenco, then you can arrange a similar in 45 €.
Last on the first day of the walk can be viewed. It is located near the Gothic Quarter on Palau De La Musica Street. From the history of the concert hall, it is known that such famous personals were played in his walls as the Spanish singer Montserrat Caballe and the largest pianist Svyatoslav Richter. Today there are concerts here, and from the windows of the palace you can hear the process of artists rehearsals.
The palace can be visited with an organized excursion, which are held mainly in English, but once a day there is a Russian-speaking guide. The ticket costs 18 €, you can buy it.
What to see in Barcelona for 2 days
The main tourist route is completed, it is worth going somewhere a little away of the center and see how the Gaudi architecture. To do this, start again from Catalonia Square and go to Passeig de Gracia Street, it's like La Rambla Street begins with Catalunya Square. There are several Creations of Gaudi at once. Balo House and Mila House . On the same street there is another beautiful house, but the less famous it has worked on another architect.

Entrance to all houses Gaudi paid and wishing a lot, especially in the tourist season. So get ready for big queues or buy a ticket in advance online. And now briefly about the houses of Mila and Balo.
House Mila
At the sight of this house, you may arise any associations, and everyone will have their own. For example, I seemed that the house was melted in the sun, and sometimes the feeling was created that he was moving somewhere. The most interesting thing is that this house is partially residential and in apartments you can independently manage the space of the rooms, moving the walls. Another part of the building is a museum where you can see an example of apartments, as well as climb the roof.
- costs 22 € when buying online.
House Balo
This is another extravagant Creation of Gaudi, which turned out as a result of the alteration of an ordinary standard home. Here you can surprise the complete absence of straight lines and an unusual roof, which will remind the dragon's science. It is with this character that many are associated the main facade of the house. Also pay attention to how Gaudi trembled to the lighting system. The walls in the courtyard, at the very foundation, where the least of the world, he decided to designate with light tiles, and already at the very top - dark. All this is possible to look at tourists.
- online costs 23.5 €.
Fabulous houses in Barcelona created not only Gaudi, but also other masters. For example, Pascual-I-Pons house is the creation of architect Enric Sanya. Such a name house was given in honor of his two tenants Alexander Pons and Sebastian Pascual.
House with spikes - Les Punxes
After the house of Mila, you can not reach the end of the street, but to go to the side of one of the main attractions of Barcelona Sagrada Familia, but still we will go to it, you can see several more objects. The first will be a house with turrets that look like a castle, it is located on Diagonal Avenue. Because of the same six turrets, it was called a house with spikes. There is another name - Terrades, in honor of the sisters, Terrades, who made an order for the construction of this house.
- It costs 12.5 €, running time from 9 to 20.
Next we go prospect Diagonal before the intersection of S. passeig de Sant Joan StreetIf you turn right to this street, you can see the monument to the Catalan poet Jasinta Verdager-I-Santallo.
Sagrada Familia.
After the previous church, honey houses should already be viewed. The main goal for today Sagrada Familia. . If you want to get inside, then prepare for the longest queue in Barcelona for several hours.
- Without a queue - 20 €.
The church of the Holy Family or in another Sagrada Sagrada is the main Cathedral of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwho dedicated 43 years old by Antonio Gaudi. He managed the construction, he was not immediately, another architect worked over his cathedral, who planned to give the temple a completely different appearance. When Gaudi came for work, he planned 3 facades, but only one was being built - the facade of the Christmas of Jesus Christ. In 1926, the architect died, and the construction of the temple went into the hands of other masters. The following two facades are the passion of Christ and Sunday have significant differences from the facade of Christmas. Antonio Gaudi is buried in the crypt of this temple.
On the day of our visit, part of the cathedral was in the scaffolding, the lifting cranes worked, as the cathedral was not yet completed and the construction continues to the present.
If not stuck from Sagrada Familia until the end of the day and still want to see the sea for today, you can go to him, and on the way to see Tower Agbar, National Theater of Catalonia, Ciutadella Park and Triumphal Arch .
From Sagrada, the last name we went on Gaudi street and at her end we saw a beautiful building - the São Pau's Hospital or the Hospital of the Holy Cross and St. Paul. Be sure to look inside the hospital and get into the courtyard, it is very beautiful there.
- costs 13 €.
This is a former hospital, built in the 15th century. But only she was then elsewhere. And the existing building was built already in XX. It was in this hospital after an accident died Antonio Gaudi.
Tower Agbar and National Theater of Catalonia
Tower Agbar and National Theater of Catalonia, built quite recently, but are already part of tourist programs and are indicated on tourist maps. Several words want to say about the tower. Tower Agbar is named after the company, which sponsored the construction. From far it may seem that it is just a brilliant tower, but in fact, there are offices inside. And if you get closer, you can consider windows in chaotic order.
Triumphal Arch and Ciutadella Park It can be considered as one object, they smoothly switch one to one with a pedestrian alley. The arch built specifically for the World Exhibition to 1888, as an entrance gate.
At the site of the park once there was a citadel, so it is now so called. In the park there will be something to do and children, because Here, apart from the beauty of the park itself there is a zoo.
- When buying online it costs 19.9 € for an adult and 11.95 € for children.
If there is still time on the beach, the closer to the park is Olimpica Beach, this is one of the most popular beaches of Barcelona because of a similar location. It makes your drawbacks, the beach is always crowded and often many garbage.

Montjuic Fortress
About Tibadabo, I painted quite a lot, but how to get into the fortress Montjuic to the height of 200m? You can get from Spain Square by bus 150 for 0.95 € or to ride on the cable car from the port of Barcelona for 11 €, just on the mountain from Parallelo Metro Station on Funicilere.
From the history of the fortress it is known that already in XI on Mount Mojik was a watchtower, which laid the beginning of the history of the fortress. The motive of construction was the Segadorsk uprising or war of the reapers. The fortress was erected in thirty days during the siege of Barcelona Spaniards.
Entrance to the fortress is paid 5 € for adults and 3 € for children and students. If you are not impressed by the fortress, then you should not get upset, but especially to leave the mountain. From the mountains, it is best to go down to the square of Spain, and on the way you can see Olympic Village and National Palace And a few more beautiful parks.

Beach rich
Best City Beach
Do not even try to swim in the summer on the very closest to the center of the city of the beach - on Barcelonet: there is so crowded, noisy and dirty, that, even if you succeed, it will not want to go to it. This is a quintessence of that Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich is local residents lately, just say, dislike. Go to the far beach. The richer in the Pobyloede district - it is more, wider, cleaner, more beautiful, and people are much smaller there (and in the no-season so in general holy emptiness). In addition, the victim himself is incredibly nice - from the God of the forgotten industrial outskirts, he in recent years has become alive, cozy, fashionable and, unfortunately, dear area. The beach is a mesh for volleyball, there is a playground with simulators and a playground, free city Wi-Fi, and at the very end of the beach, in the municipal center for water sports, hides a cafe - with a great terrace and beach view: it's worth come here Behind a glass of cold white or kava.
Park Jardins de la Tamarita
Jungle at the foot of Tibidabo
Jardins de la Tamarita - a carefully hidden treasure in the bourgeois area of \u200b\u200bSan Zhervasi - so carefully that even many Barcelonians do not know about its existence. It is worth a collapse in the park from the noisy Avenue of San Zhervasi - and it seems that it moved in space in a second and got into the jungle. Here are the real thickets: blamed palms, acacia, planenes, cypress trees, bamboo plus orange trees and a 23-meter centenary oak; And all this in the city center, in a step from a big important street. In Jardins de la Tamarita, a completely different air is more fresh, cool and wet. The park was broken at the beginning of the 20th century on the territory of the estate of the Cravinkel family - there is an excellent playground, fountains and quiet creek plus a lot of secluded corners with benches and without where teenagers kiss, play hide and seek children and reflect on life beerry old people.
