10 things to do in Barcelona.
Number one has to be Sagrada Familia, it should be top of your list. It’s the most iconic
thing in Barcelona. They’ve been building it for 133 years and it’s still not finished…
At number two is La Pedrera, and the dragon-backed Casa Batllo. More examples of Gaudi’s surrealist
architecture.
It’s often over-looked but the Gothic Barcelona Cathedral is really well-worth seeing, even
if you just go to check out the geese.
Number four, jump in a taxi to Park Guell, check out Gaudi’s gingerbread-style gatehouses
and even a mosaic lizard. “And this guy is the most famously-photographed lizard in
Park Guell. Not surprised” “You make it sound like there are loads of other lizards
that people photograph.”
Five, Las Ramblas. It’s a renowned area for tourists. It’s bustling and vibrant
and it’s full of street artists, especially in the late afternoon. “He’s got the little
polkadots on my shirt, nice touch!” “And he’s got this, this is very…” “Yeah
he’s got the way my hair falls.”
Number six, La Boqueria market. It’s a hive of colours and activity. Just, watch out for
pickpockets.
Number seven, the beach. It’s stunning, the water is crystal-clear and turquoise.
The beach is wide, there’s plenty of room for sunbathing, but watch out for those waves
because they’re powerful and they sneak up on you.
Number eight, the biggest clubs line the beach too, like Pacha, Shoko, Carpe Diem and ***,
which are among the most well-known.
Number nine is shopping. Now whether you prefer designer names or high street brands, or vintage
shopping, Barcelona’s got a tonne of opportunities for you to spend your holiday pennies.
At number ten is FC Barcelona’s home ground, Camp Nou, where Messi made his name and where
you can get a photograph with him. It is just outside the city but if you’re a football
fan you’d be crazy to miss it.

one. For more on Barcelona, check out our other videos. And in the meantime, happy travels!
