Totally worth it ! The ticket you can retrieve from the Sagrada Família officially apps and then can use for self guide !
Sagrada Familia is a must when in Barcelona. It is an exceptional building. The meaning behind every facet of the Basilica is astonishing. It's a celebration of nature, faith and life. The colour and light in the Basilica is amazing. It's my absolute favourite cathedral/basilica.

Guire Park is a treasure of Barcelona and a world heritage site. Designed by Gaudi, the fairytale mosaic architecture in the park is eye-catching and uniquely artistic. Here, you can enjoy artworks such as wavy benches, overlook the entire city of Barcelona, and the Sagrada Familia. Every place is worth taking pictures and it is worth a visit.
Is nice place to spend 2-3hrs. The place gets crowded later in the day. A lot of walking if you want cover all the places.

The Bartholomew House is about 500 meters away from the Mira House. Looking at several places together, you can learn more about Gaudi's incomparable imagination. Follow the Chinese voice guide, if you don't go to the roof, you can go shopping in about an hour; the time is short, but it is worth it. Buying tickets on Trip.com is as convenient as domestic ones. Buy in advance is cheaper. Buy late. Maybe there is no ticket at that time. These attractions can go to the official website to buy tickets, but Trip.com is really more convenient, and the price of many tickets is not higher than the official website. However, the tickets for the Batllo House are a bit complicated, divided into blue tickets, silver tickets, and gold tickets. Blue tickets are the basic, including the building + AI light and shadow show; silver tickets and gold tickets can go to the roof, not bad for money.
Amazing, get the Gold package, it comes with more access to certain areas and there is a tab with VR which totally increase the experience to another whole level!

Admire Works from Pablo Picasso's Blue and Rose Periods

Looking at Picasso's works again, I suddenly understood. The primitive, bold and strong things deeply attracted me and stimulated my sensory nerves! Picasso used various painting methods to express his own emotions casually. Basically, it was not purely aesthetic, but rational and abstract. He reconstructed and combined objects to bring people newer and deeper feelings!
I was impressed by the Picasso Museum, especially the evolution of his work from his teenage years to his maturity. My favorites are his blue period and cubism, and I can feel the expression of his emotions and the uniqueness of his creations when I appreciate it. The museum’s architecture is also charming, with a sense of history in the five ancient palaces. Although there are many exhibits in the museum, the layout is reasonable and it doesn’t look crowded. If you are interested in art, this is definitely a place worth exploring in depth

It is worth going. The building itself is very distinctive, colorful, and it is different from the outside. The inside is even more gorgeous. The performance is very exquisite. The dance is extremely tense. It is full of Spanish-style unrestrained and passionate.
Although the music palace is not big, every place is exquisitely carved, a must-see place to understand the architecture and music of Basse. Tickets for the music palace must be booked one day in advance to book the time point of the full Chinese interpretation. The day is basically Spanish and English. Without explanation, there is basically nothing to see at this site.

Be careful the people that ask you to take photos with them. They will ask you to pay for the photo. The visiting time is short.
Barcelona Cathedral (Catedral de Barcelona) is one of the local landmarks, the main body of the church is Gothic style, the thin lines are the main characteristics, and the dome and internal structure show the neo-Gothic style. The lifts on the top of the church can be reached to enjoy the views of Barcelona's Old Town. The prayer rooms in the cathedral corridor are dedicated to the patron saint of the craft guilds. The choir seats, religious murals, sculptures and a variety of gold and silver appliances are gorgeous in the chapel of Saint-Eularia.

I visited Spotify Camp Nou recently and was disappointed with the experience. The stadium is currently under renovation, so most of the iconic areas are closed off, and there’s very little to actually see. You can’t access the pitch or the stands, and the tour mostly consists of a small museum and a few displays. For the price, it didn’t feel worth it—especially if you were hoping to experience the full atmosphere of the stadium.
Absolutely amazing experience 💫 loved it. As a Barcelona fan it was a pleasure to see the historic items.

Gaudí’s Masterpiece – A Must-Visit in Barcelona!Park Güell is an absolute marvel of Gaudí’s brilliance! From the vibrant mosaics to the whimsical architecture, every corner of this park feels like a dream. The colorful designs, intricate details, and breathtaking views of Barcelona make it a truly unforgettable experience.Walking through the park feels like stepping into a fairytale, with its unique structures and artistic flair. A must see!
It's worth it! There is an audio guide, you can listen to it while visiting. There is an organ performance every half an hour, which is shocking. The design is subtle and exquisite, and it's amazing! Gaudi is God's gift to us humans. "Humans created straight lines, and God created curves."

The charm of Barcelona's Gothic District is to turn medieval stones, Mediterranean sunshine and Catalan rebel stains into living historical museums visiting the Gothic District, suggesting to turn off navigation and follow the graffiti on the stone walls, which are said to be the incarnation of medieval escape wizards. And beneath the Gothic Quarter is a 2,000-year-old Roman fish sauce factory, salty smell mixed with modern Tapas garlic aromas - called historical preservatives

Barcelona Gothic Quarter: Stone Rings and Light Wrinkles
Barcelona Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) is the core area of Barcelona's old town and the birthplace of the city's history and culture.
Located in the old town of Barcelona (Ciutat Vella), the Gothic Quarter stretches from La Rambla to Laetana Avenue, adjacent to the Mediterranean coast, and is one of the oldest areas in Barcelona. Its history can be traced back to the ancient Roman period. It was once a fortress of the Roman colony, and some remains of the Roman city wall are still preserved. In the Middle Ages, it became a gathering place for Gothic architecture and developed the Jewish ghetto (El Call), which is one of the best preserved medieval neighborhoods in Europe.
The Gothic Quarter is not only the "historical heart" of Barcelona, but also a vibrant cultural melting pot. Whether it is pursuing ancient Roman ruins, admiring Gothic architecture, or immersing yourself in street art and food, this place can satisfy all your imaginations of the old city in Europe. The Gothic Quarter in the early morning is dim and quiet, and you can quietly feel the time shuttle~
