Stuck on what to do in Barcelona? Use this guide to help you plan your days.
Sagrada Familia:
The architecture of Barcelona has been most influenced by the work of Antoni Gaudí. One of Gaudí's greatest creations is the Sagrada Familia a giant Basilica that has been under construction since 1882. This building is the number one most visited attraction in Barcelona catering to over 2,000,000 visitors per year.
Once you enter the Sagrada Familia you can visit the museum which is housed in the building. The museum details the history and development of the Sagrada Familia and also gives fascinating insights into Gaudí himself.
This museum offers a truly fascinating visit because you will see photos of the development of the Sagrada Familia from the present day back to its early beginnings. There's also a model of the Sagrada Familia depicting what it will look like once it's completed (predicted to happen in the next 30 years).
Due to the high numbers of people that visit the Sagrada Familia this museum is one of the most visited and popular museums in Barcelona.

La Padrera / Casa Mila:
The building is the museum. La Pedrera is another of Gaudí's creations and is the 2nd most visited of the museums in Barcelona after the Sagrada Familia.
La Pedrera has to be one of the most unusual apartment building's ever built. At the time potential tenants were reluctant to hire the rooms because the walls were irregularly shaped and they were concerned that their furniture would not fit. Today La Pedrera is one of the most important museums in Barcelona and also houses renaissance drawings and a collection of modern art paintings.
