We actually happened upon it on accident as we were walking around and then we came back our last day. Beautiful Park lots of things to see. The fountain is amazing just gorgeous huge fountain lots of birds there. Great place for pictures right beside the fountain or up the stairs to the fountain. Lots of musicians and street performers around the park. I really am a bird fanatic so I was thrilled to see so many wild parakeets in the park. There are people feeding the parakeets bird seeds and you put some in your hand and they'll land in your hand and eat there. I loved it. There are some homeless people and one of them kind of threw a insane fit while we were there but no one was hurt he kicked over a barrier and was yelling at people. But that can happen anywhere just use caution anywhere you go. There is neat statues and there's also a little lake or pond where they had people renting rowboats we didn't do that but that looked like fun.

Beautiful park and totally free! The fountain is the highlight -- seriously stunning and perfect…read morefor photos. Skip the row boats -- they look fun but aren't worth the wait or the effort. Super close to Arc de Triomf, so easy to add to your walking route. Great spot to relax and people-watch.

The park features the beautiful work of Gaudi. Everything was stunning and this was a great way to spend the afternoon. I would recommend expecting to walk the park for 2 hours and to eat before because food is a bit limited within the park.

Being an avid Cheetah Girls fan, I HAD to come to Parc Güell and get my nostalgia on. I may or may…read morenot have skipped down the park trail like they did in the "Strut" music video. Lol. But seriously, this park is absolutely beautiful. Between the colorful mosaics, whimsical architecture, and the scenic walking trails, it honestly feels like stepping into another world. Everywhere you turn there's another gorgeous photo spot for the gram, and the views of Barcelona from up top are incredible. Gaudí really snapped with this one. My only piece of advice: when you buy tickets online, make sure you're buying them for the actual day you plan to visit... not the day you're purchasing them. My ass felt SO silly when I realized I bought mine for the wrong date. But honestly, it worked out because I just came back the next day as they were sold out for the original day I planned to come.

Parc de la Devesa was a nice park to stroll through during our visit to Girona…read more The park is home to 2,500 Platanus × hispanica trees which were planted mostly around the year 1850. Unfortunately we visited in early March when the leaves had not yet grown back, so the trees and thus the park looked a bit bare. The park is arrayed mostly in a grid-like fashion without many distinctive features. We did find a peacock coop with 4 peacocks in it which was pretty cool. From pictures, the park looks like a lush forest during the time of year that the trees have leaves on them, so that would be an ideal time to visit.

Parc de Montjuic is a public park that overlooks the city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea…read more It was an example of town planning and architecture for the 1929 International Exhibition. Today it contains museums, the Olympic Ring from the 1992 Olympic Games, a castle, gardens, a fountain, cable car, and more. A tour guide drove my husband and me to this park. We enjoyed the panoramic views of the city buildings and the sea. Our tour guide explained that a Jewish cemetery was built into the hill. Overall, I would not call Parc de Montjuic a must-see, but it was nice to see.

I've developed a fear of heights in my old age, but that only meant it took me longer.

Walking around the old city area of Girona was one of the highlights of our Barcelona trip, and…read morewalking on the old city walls was the pinnacle of that experience, both literally and figuratively! The wife and I visited Girona during the off-peak season, and it was nice to be able to stroll around the picturesque old city without running into too many people. Most tourists were hanging out around the shop/restaurant part of the city and around places like Girona Cathedral. Passeig de la Muralla, the old walls, is rated on TripAdvisor as the #1 thing to do in Girona, yet it saw only a fraction of the foot traffic. Which was great for us! Girona's walls were originally constructed by the Romans, with foundations dating to possibly the 1st century BC. Much of the present-day walls were constructed between the 9th to 17th centuries. The walls offered protection from the outside and a sweeping view of the city inside. Parapets interspersed along the walls, accessible via circular stairs, offer even better views still. The walls look out loftily towards old landmarks nearby and the modern city and large park (Parc de la Devesa) behind. The walkaway on top is fairly narrow, so two people have to squeeze past each other. There are several access points to get up onto the walls, but they do require being able to walk up some stairs. The unsupervised, simple and beautiful experience is what makes a visit to Passeig de la Muralla so wonderful. Definitely worth a visit, but shh, don't tell anyone else.
