Gaudi’s Former home in Park Guell - Park Guell in its entirety is my favourite place in Barcelona, but this house in particular has so much history attached to it that I always find myself drawn here.
Top of Montjuic - Barcelona from above is a splendid sight and this is one of the best vantage points around the city. Montjuic, Barcelona offers the best views of the city of Barcelona and is also a great place to stay if you want somewhere quieter at night time than the very centre of Barcelona, whilst still being very close for the daytime.
Icaria Beach- Walking just minutes from the city centre you can find yourself on one of Barcelona’s beaches. This beach is clean, sandy and provides a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. It is especially worth visiting here in the summer months.
La seu Cathedral - The gothic cathedral is absolutely huge and never fails to take my breath away. Whether you visit for religious reasons or to just marvel in the aura of the building, you really must include this spot in your travels.
Las Ramblas - This may be a cliché choice, but the sheer amount of activity which takes place here embodies why Barcelona is such a great city. To stand and look around you can see locals making a living, tourists enjoying the culture and marvellous monuments and architecture from some of the world’s most celebrated figures.

The first time I visited Barcelona I expected to hate it - especialyy as I am not really a 'City Person'. To me it feels more like a collection of small villages - each with it's own different 'feel' and identity, and each different from the next. It's also one of the few city breaks that I have taken my two year old daughter on without feeling stressed or out of place.
