Art & Architecture
This tour takes you up to the enchanting (if accidental) park
Gaudí designed overlooking the city, down the elegant archi-
tectural showpiece avenue of Passeig de Gràcia and into El
Raval. There you'll find the city's top contemporary art mu-
seum anchoring Barcelona's most bohemian neighbourhood.
Park Güell (

Go early to Park Güell to beat the crowds and see the early morning rays over Barcelona
and the Mediterranean beyond. Stroll the expanse of the park, taking in the mosaic-
covered Banc de Trencadís, the fairy-tale-like columns of Sala Hipóstila and the view
from Turó del Calvari. End your visit at Casa Museu Gaudí, where you can learn more
about the life and work of the great Catalan architect.

streets for browsing include Carre de Verdi, Travessera de Gràcia and Carrer de Torrijos.
