The Starfish Underwater Aquarium in Barcelona is a truly magical experience for anyone who loves marine life. Located in Port Vell, it offers an incredible journey beneath the sea, where visitors can admire a wide variety of sea creatures — from colorful tropical fish and elegant rays to the fascinating starfish that give the aquarium its special charm. One of the highlights is the large underwater tunnel, which lets you walk through the ocean surrounded by sharks, sea turtles, and hundreds of other fish. The lighting and design create a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re part of the ocean world. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to share interesting facts about marine conservation. The aquarium is perfect for families, couples, and travelers of all ages who want to explore the wonders of the underwater world without getting wet! Overall, it’s a must-visit attraction in Barcelona — educational, relaxing, and unforgettable 😍😍✨

Came here at dawn so we didn't touch the sea nor there was much crowd. The atmosphere was calm and the air fresh. A perfect place to watch sunrise from the middle of the ocean, they built some convenient decks to do so.

I really enjoyed Palau Güell. We visited as a family of four and the price of tickets for here was much more reasonable than other museums. Unfortunately, it was extremely hot on the day we visited and we struggled a little inside in the heat. Few rooms had air con. We didn’t have headphones so had to carefully listen to the guide on our phones. We didn’t want to be annoying to others so kept it as quiet as possible. The commentary was very informative and it was great how it corresponded to each room. The rooms were beautiful and the roof terrace was stunning. Definitely recommend a visit.

Very popular and busy market. Here you find great quality of meats, seafood, fruits and vegetable. There are plenty of food stalls to choose from. Quality here is top notch but equally the prices are fairly high for most products. The ready to eat fruits are absolutely delicious as well as the Iberico ham and fresh seafood. Definitely give the paella here a try as well. At the backside of the market is a small square where you can find few spots to sit and enjoy your food.

Basílica de Santa Maria del Mar is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture, high ceilings, and the peaceful atmosphere inside create a truly magical experience. Walking through this basilica feels like stepping back in time—full of history, beauty, and spiritual calm. It’s a place that touches your heart and leaves you in awe. Definitely one of the most memorable highlights of Barcelona

We hadn't planned to visit the cathedral but as there as no queue we bought a ticket and went in and are we glad we did! The roof top view was amazing. The cathedral itself is impressive too but the rooftop view stole the show. Would recommend a visit

We visited the Picasso Museum in Barcelona hoping to dive deeper into the life, influences, and artistic journey of this endlessly creative artist. Having previously visited the Picasso museums in Paris (the largest collection worldwide) and Málaga (his birthplace), we were excited to explore Barcelona’s museum - the very first dedicated to Picasso and the only one opened during his lifetime. The location is great: nestled in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, with its maze of medieval streets and charming atmosphere. The museum itself is a beautiful blend of history and modernity, recently renovated but still housed in stunning medieval buildings, complete with magnificent staircases, stone walls, and ornate facades. Honestly, the architecture alone is worth the visit... The collection is well-organized and thoughtfully curated. We loved discovering some of Picasso’s very early works, including a breathtaking First Communion painting - incredibly impressive considering he painted it at just 15. The transition through his different periods is clearly displayed, from his first portraits to the Blue Period and the early explorations of Cubism. The collection is not overwhelmingly large, which in my opinion is a plus (you can comfortably see everything in about two hours without feeling rushed). Personally, I found the Velázquez-inspired “Las Meninas” variations absolutely fascinating, especially the large-format piece - a true highlight of the visit. I also appreciated the series of works inspired by his time in Paris, a recurring theme that shows the lasting influence of Cubism on his style. We were also lucky to catch a temporary exhibition dedicated to Francoise Gilot (French painter, long term partner of Picasso, and mother of Claude and Paloma Picasso) with some of her own art on display (drawings, watercolors and a few ceramics), as well as pieces connected to Claude Picasso and the family, a touching and insightful addition to the experience. Overall, this museum is well worth visiting, whether for its architecture, its intimate but rich collection, or the chance to gain a clearer understanding of Picasso’s early work and evolving artistic phases. A must if you want to appreciate not just the art, but also the context and influences that shaped this iconic figure.

Need to look after your belongings as mine have been taken of my neck! Other than that it's a big piece of history. I loved AF. Massive touristic spot.

We loved this place! Beautiful park with plenty of space to walk around and take a step back from the busy streets of Barcelona. The fountain is really impressive. Absolutely beautiful. Only thing I would recommend would be make sure you have some water on a hot day. It’s not very covered and could use a touch more shaded areas IMHO. Other than that it was great!

It's a colorful building with lots of ornaments and lively look. Highly recommend visiting it.

What a lovely place to sit & relax after walking more than 10k steps. Thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere the violin guy playing beautifully & the tiny toddlers enjoying his music too. A must visit place in the evening.

The Sagrada Familia is truly a masterpiece. It's a unique and must-see structure. Construction is still underway, and it's expected to be completed around 2026. New details are being added every day, and I'm amazed every time I see this monument. We paid 26 euros per person to enter. It costs 26 euros for those under 30, and 30 euros for those 30 and over. I recommend purchasing tickets from the Sagrada Familia official website before arriving. There are some scam sites, so you should choose the official website. There's a long line to buy tickets, but if you have your tickets online, simply scan the QR code when the time comes to enter. Also, a little tip: the souvenir shops right in front are expensive; if you go downstairs, you can buy some beautiful magnets for 1 euro. The entrance is accessible for disabled individuals and strollers. The tour takes almost an hour and a half..

One of the most beautiful places I visited in Barcelona. The architecture is breathtaking—colorful tiles, stained glass, and domes that feel more like an art museum than a hospital. Walking through the gardens and pavilions was peaceful and not overcrowded like other spots in the city. A bit off the main tourist path, but absolutely worth it.

Park Güell is truly one of the highlights of Barcelona and an absolute must-see! The moment you enter, you’re surrounded by Gaudí’s magical designs colorful mosaics, flowing shapes, playful architecture, and spaces that feel like they belong in a fairytale. The panoramic views of the city and the sea are breathtaking and perfect for photos. It’s a place where nature, creativity, and architecture blend beautifully. The park is large enough to wander, relax, and enjoy the scenery at your own pace, yet every corner has something unique to admire. The Monumental Zone, mosaic benches, and the famous lizard sculpture are definite standouts. The atmosphere is peaceful, inspiring, and full of charm. Tickets are timed, so booking ahead is smart and you should be there as early as you can, because it gets crowded quickly and the morning light makes everything even more beautiful. Comfortable shoes are also helpful due to hills and walking paths. Overall, Park Güell is a wonderful experience vibrant, artistic, and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Barcelona, don’t miss it!

MUST DO IN BARCELONA!! The views are breath-taking!! My kids absolutely loved every minute. The rides were so fun and different. Great for all ages, mine are 3-14 years old. Everyone was happy the whole day.

Incredible sunset view 😍

Lovely view, museum was open but the lighthouse was closee, wasn't able to go up to the top.

2 towers at the top of a little hill. You can get there by walking some stairs and the view is absolutely amazing! Also a nice place to walk for a bit.

Beautiful church and surrounding area. Worth visiting during mass, as well, especially if you like music.

I’ve done 30+ rooms. This is my favorite. There’s no theme persay, but you are whisked away to almost a Bioshock-esque environment. Everything, is used. Be ready to be fully immersed. The owner has a fantastic story to prop up his creativity. If you show real interest, ask about it. He’s really a well spoken gentlemen.

Frendly staff,good prices and very delicious food

Spanish civil war era bomb shelter. Well laid out, informative picture boards and a/v display. Well worth the one euro admission, half price for pensioners. Just round the corner from the tourist information.

Beautiful park plenty of seats and play areas for children lots of shade. Very steep though!

The food is very good, especially patatas bravas. It’s better to get take out though, it’s cheaper than eating outside. But we enjoyed the food nonetheless

Just awesome! We booked one hour of quad. After we arrived we got a quick introduction. After that our guide Samba took us to the mountain trails. The trails are crazy, small routes everywhere and then just plain areas where you can speed. Samba took good care of us but also let us use max speed so it was never boring. Absolutely worth the money considering that we also used quite an amount of gas and the quads wear out quickly on these trails. Additionally we also got a nice view from the mountains.

We loved this spot. We took the steep hike which was intense but we made it. We had a tour which was so incredible to learn the history of this castle. The views are incredible also.

What a great spot! They have parking and you can bring your dog as long as they stay on the leash. A couple of the Gorge's are not available for your dog to go in because of the otters living there, but they will point those out on the map to you. Awesome place to explore and walk about, great views everywhere. Definitely will go back with my friends!
