Walk around Park Güell

Barcelona is known for many sights and attractions, including the famous Park Güell. Located at the top of the city at Camel Hill is this architectural and colourful outdoor space where millions of visitors flock each year to enjoy the gardens. Now a UNESCO Heritage Site, its construction took 14 years from 190.  Originally planned for a housing development, the design of the park was awarded to the renowned Catalan architect Gaudí who also created the design of the prestigious Sagrada Família. Bus services can also take you direct to the park from various locations throughout the city or take the subway. Stroll blissfully through the coloured mosaic buildings with their unique roofs at the entrance and admire amazing stone structures, flamboyant tiling, fountains and a twisting walkway. When you reach the top, this is the perfect opportunity for a special photograph moment. A stunning terraced area greets you as the city skyline glistens in the distance – you should be able to make out the spires of the Sagrada Familia here. Why not prepare a picnic and pick up some local wine to enjoy as you sit in the park.

The ultimate and stylish way to see the city - be the envy of other tourists packed on buses to whizz around the avenues and tree lined streets to create your own whirlwind tour of the city.
