See the best of Barcelona in only 2 days

Barcelona absolutely blew me away! This city was so much bigger than I was expecting and there is so much to see, eat and do!

We spent 2 full day in Barcelona during our European trip and definitely made the most of it, even though we could have spent much more time here!

Here are some things you don’t want to miss:

- Tour Casa Batlló! This architectural masterpiece is so much fun to explore and the rooftop views are stunning! Tickets start at $30 per person

- Try authentic Spanish tapas and sangria! There’s endless restaurants in Barcelona to choose from. The best sangria we’ve ever had was in Barcelona!

- Walk along La Rambla! This beautiful tree lined pedestrian street is filled with vendors, musicians, artists, shopping and restaurants! There is an open container policy, so you can sip on your sangria while you walk around, take in the sites and shop!

- Finally, you can’t miss the Basílica de la Sagrada Família while in Barcelona. This historic and breathtaking church was started in the 1880’s and is still under construction today. The church is currently set to have construction finished sometime in 2026!
