Absolutely stunning! A must-visit. It's recommended to learn about the basic architecture and its history beforehand. If you don't get a Chinese explanation, ask the staff for a link at the entrance – the webpage has a Chinese explanation.
It's truly worth visiting. This century-old infrastructure project, which I visited over a decade ago, is still under construction and is expected to top out next year, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death. This Gaudí temple overflows with art, science, and faith. Climbing to the top, a stone Bible, I revere my beloved Barcelona. The climb is truly meaningful, a moment spent in the presence of the master.

挺值得一去，更加适合父母带小孩去走走。公园有好几个入口，最好用最大的入口进去。我们从一个住家小巷的入口进去，路超斜的幸好走到一半有电扶梯剃😆
For Gaudí's sake, it's worth a visit. Other than that, it's probably not cost-effective because the place is very small and there are a lot of people. You can walk through the museum in one turn. The things inside are very expensive. I can only say that since you are here, you have to go and see it, just like the Sagrada Familia.

The design of the genius Gaudi is really eye-catching. It feels like being in the ocean world. The details are amazing. The visit is well arranged and interesting. The 3D effect of the visit pad is great. It is definitely worth a visit.
Casa Batlló's dreamy exterior, with its colorful ceramics and undulating curves, is breathtaking. While admission is a bit pricey, the interior is uniquely designed, with details showcasing Gaudí's imagination and ingenuity. Consider it a tribute to the master and well worth a visit.

The black iron railing patterns and the top floor of the facade are the highlights. Compared with Casa Milà and Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà is a bit plain. It is best to visit Milà first among the three treasures of Gaudí, then Casa Milà, and Sagrada Familia. You will feel that the experience is getting more and more exciting and shocking.
It is convenient to transport. It is beautiful and historical. It suitable for everyone to travel.

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 and colorful. It looks different from the outside, and it is even more gorgeous inside. The performance is very exciting, the dance is very tense, full of Spanish-style unrestrained and passion, a wonderful enjoyment
Although the Palace of Music is not big, every part of it is exquisitely carved. It is a must-visit place to learn about Barcelona's architecture and music. Tickets for the Palace of Music must be booked one day in advance to book a time with a full Chinese commentary. If you book on the day, you will basically get a Spanish and English commentary. If there is no commentary, you will basically not see anything at this attraction.

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 most iconic buildings in the city. The main body of the church is in Gothic style, with slender lines as its main feature, and the dome and internal structure showing neo-Gothic style. You can go up to the top of the church through the elevator next to the dome of the church to enjoy the scenery of the old city of Barcelona. The patron saints of various handicraft guilds are enshrined in the prayer rooms of the cathedral's cloisters. The choir seats, religious murals, sculptures and various gold and silver utensils in the Santa Eularia Chapel are gorgeous and eye-catching.

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."

Flamenco fans should definitely go, especially in Section B. Arrive 15 minutes before showtime and you'll likely get a seat in the middle! The dancers are excellent. It was a truly wonderful experience. The guitarist and drummer were playing a duet and I thought they were a couple, but it turned out they weren't. However, their cute smiles during their curtain call were a perfect match.
City hall Stunning Flamenco, a traditional art from the Andalusia region of Spain, combines singing, dancing and guitar playing, with roots in Gypsy culture, Arabic music and Jewish folk art. The performance is known for its spontaneity and emotional explosiveness, with dancers expressing complex emotions through strong footwork rhythm and body language.
