Re: the park itself, there are many beautiful sites to take pictures and enjoy the beauty of what a rich family built for Gaudi that failed and later turned into a public park for many to enjoy. Clean, beautiful, and majestic. 5 stars and two thumbs up!

This is one of Antoni Gaudí's most imaginative creations. The colorful mosaics, unique…read morearchitecture, and winding pathways make every corner worth exploring. It's easy to spend a couple of hours wandering around, taking photos, and admiring the creative details that make this place so special. The combination of nature and architecture is very unique. The famous mosaic bench, the Dragon Stairway, and the peaceful garden paths each have their own charm. Booking tickets in advance is a good idea, especially during the busy season, since the Monumental Zone has timed entry and often sells out. Wearing comfortable shoes is also a good idea, as there are quite a few hills and stairs throughout the park.

There is a lot of history and as far I know this temple has been being built since the the late 1800's and continued to be worked on until this day. I highly recommend making reservations well in advance to experience the wonder of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the guided automated tour is spectacular and very well done and organized. Each side of the pristine chapel has beautiful meaning and full of rich and tells the story of Christ. Few notes: there is a restroom and souvenir shop available. 5 stars because anything less would be sacrilegious and disrespectful. Thank you for this historic landmark and for maintaining such a beautiful and grand masterpiece that is the La Sagrada Familia!

One of the highlights on our 2-week trip to Spain and Portugal. Gaudi's grand masterpiece in the…read moreresidential Eixample neighborhood is an icon of the city. It boasts bold, wildly creative, unmistakable organic architecture and décor inside and out - from its melting Glory Façade to its skull-like Passion Façade to its rainforest-esque interior. Really spectacular! We came at the end of the day, and the light was flooding through the stained glass window. We also did the Bell tower which has gorgeous panoramic views of the city. You take the elevator up and then down about 300 stairs down a narrow, winding staircase. Note: Buy timed entry reservations in advance, and make sure you book on the official website: www.sagradafamilia.org. I initially got scammed by Feel the City and paid €340, instead of €140. I hate that; the scammer sites are very official looking.

Definitely worth a look while you are in Barcelona.
