Barcelona was selected by “National Geographic” as one of the 50 must-visit places in a lifetime. As a popular tourist destination in Spain, the most familiar is the architect Gaudí, who had a great influence on Spanish architecture. We've integrated a 3-day, 2-night itinerary to show you all the must-see Gaudí architecture from attractions, transportation, and food.

Various travel cards are available here for travelers to choose from.

This is the home of the wealthy Pere Milà, who was invited to design his newlywed home with his wife, Roser Segimon, in order to appreciate Gaudí's Casa Batlló Batlló. Casa Milà was the last private house designed by Gaudí and was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1984. The wavy exterior, which can be seen from the exterior, is already remarkable. The building is six stories high, and each floor, including the top floor, also allows the public to visit.
After admission, the staff will give us an automatic voice guide, which can play the appropriate content according to your location. Once you get to the top floor, you'll be able to see the ventilation towers and smoke gutters on the wavy roof. The open environment is a good choice for travelers to take pictures, and if you look down from here, you can see Passeig de Gracia.
From the top floor, one level down, you can visit the various rooms of Casa Mila. There was plenty of lighting in the room, and the lace pattern of sunlight shining through the curtains came in, and the gentle sculpture on the terrace was one of the special places here. Finally, you can use the free photo ticket included with the ticket and let the photographer take pictures in front of the green screen. Three A5 photos with different backgrounds have been printed in another room for us to choose from. The price is €10 per sheet/2, with an electronic version of the photos.

Casa Batlló Casa Batlló is another of Gaudí's World Heritage-listed buildings. Unfortunately, when we visited, it was being renovated (expected until June 2019), and many parts of the exterior and interior could not be seen in full view. Fortunately, the staff will provide us with an AR technology display to show the original appearance of this place as much as possible.
Gaudí used five different shades of blue tiles to create the feeling of being deep under the sea, which is very much in line with his favorite concept of designing with natural elements. Due to the refurbishment relationship, there are many places where you can't feel at home. We recommend that everyone have a more comprehensive experience after the renovation.
📍 La Boqueria Boqueria Market
💡 Location: Liceuu station - 2 minute walk/Approximately 22 minute walk from Casa Batlló (map requestClick here)

💡 Opening hours: 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM (closed on Sundays)
This is an agricultural products market where you can experience the lives of local people. However, due to the tight time situation, we left in a hurry after taking pictures. We left for dinner at La Fonda, a seafood restaurant highly recommended by my Italian friends. It is located near Ramblas.

💡 Opening hours: 12:30 PM - 11:30 PM
🍴 Sangria Sangria (€5.45)
Sangria Sparkling Wine Sangria is Spain's national wine, made by soaking seasonal fruits in wine. A half-liter portion would give us about 3 cups each. Although the fruit has been soaked, the red wine has a strong flavor, and the fruity flavor is unclear, making it easier to eat than weekday red wine. I suggest that friends who don't drink alcohol on weekdays can just ask to try one cup. The amount of one cup is enough for the two to share.
🍴 Spanish hoisin rice (€26.9)
Of course, the main dish is seafood rice, which must be eaten in Spain. There is a requirement for at least 2 people. The seafood in the meal is very rich, including pork, mussels, shrimp, and mussels. The sauce for seafood rice is rich and full of freshness, and seafood can easily stir up a lot of meat. I recommend everyone to come to Dadao and try it out in the past. We don't have to wait when we reach about 7 o'clock. It's just that there is more and more crowds at the time of the meal, and everyone outside is queuing up, so it is recommended that everyone make a reservation on the website first.
📍 Emilia Cremeria
💡 Location: Liceuu station - 1 minute walk/Approximately 6 minute walk from Casa Batlló (map requestClick here)
💡 Official website:http://www.cremeriaemilia.com/en/
💡 Opening hours: 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM
🍴 Special ice cream (€4.8)
Along the way to the restaurant, we went through many dessert shops. After the meal, we arrived at Emilia Cremeria and ordered a special ice cream. We were able to choose the ice cream cone and two flavors ourselves, so we chose the coffee and hazelnut flavors. Although the coffee flavor is rich but bitter, the hazelnut flavor is relatively sweet and very tasty. Finally, the hazelnut chocolate sauce on the bottom of the ice cream tube is also very fragrant.
The first day's itinerary was very tight. Fortunately, the transportation here was convenient, and the subway was more spacious and comfortable than London. On the second day, we'll visit more buildings designed by Gaudí, World Heritage Sites (including the Holy Church still under construction) and the Columbus Monument in the Port of Barcelona.
