La Sagarda Familia:

Found on every visitor's ‘must-see’ list, La Sagrada Familia is a masterpiece built by Antoni Gaudí, attracting around 2.8 million visitors per year making it one of the best tourist attractions in Barcelona. The structure of this building is inspired by its sheer verticality and the style is related to Spanish Late Gothic, Catalan Modernism and Catalan Noucentisme or Art Nouveau. Even though a staggering number of people visit La Sagrada every year, the structure is still under construction despite its century-long standing, and has been estimated to finish any time between 2020 and 2040.

Park Güell:

Being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Park Güell is considered as one of Gaudi’s most artistic works. Situated on the top of Carmel Hill, visitors need to go through a long uphill walk in order to view this beauty or they can hire a taxi for the same. Originally, the park was going to be converted into a residential garden village consisting of around 60 houses. But this plan did not materialize and eventually, Guelli’s family donated this park to the city, making it public and one of the best places to visit in Barcelona.

Casa Batlló:

Considered as one of the masterpieces of Antoni Gaudi, Casa Batlló was remodelled in the 19th century and is a stunning piece of architecture. A top tourist attraction in Barcelona with a fairy-tale exterior, the interior of the building is just as mystical. Located in the center of the city, the building was originally constructed in 1877 and redesigned in the year of 1904 by Gaudi himself. Thereafter, it has been refurbished repeatedly, with the contribution of Gaudi’s assistants to the renovation. The ground floor of the building has irregular oval windows with sculpted stonework, whereas the roof of the building is arched and resembles the back of a dragon.
