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.

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.

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.

When we arrived via taxi around 3:30 PM from our IHG Hotel Indigo we had some time to locate our location to meet our tour guide. We finally figured out our English tour guide meeting location where we met others on our tour. When we walked over to La Sagrada Familia Basilica our English tour guide distributed audio headsets. This UNESCO marvel offers more than just breathtaking views. It is Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece, a basilica full of symbolism and architectural brilliance. The La Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona has been under construction for over 140 years. Our English tour guide shared its fascinating history, from its beginnings to the ambitious goal of completing it in 2033. The La Sagrada Familia Basilica will be the highest building in Barcelona and the highest church in the world with a height of 172 meters. La Sagrada Familia Basilica is very impressive from its size, both outside and especially from the inside with the many colored glass windows with the sun shining through during our 4-5 PM audio tour. I feel this was a great time of day to experience La Sagrada Familia. This should be your #1 place to visit in Barcelona. Our taxi from the La Sagrada Familia Basilica to Park Guell cost 15 Euros cash including gratuity. More to come regarding our next 7 PM guided tour of Park Güell.

It seems to be popular among locals with a lot of families playing on the park and older people hanging on the benches. The highlight of the park for me were the parakeets! So many pigeons but if you sift through those, I saw a whole flock of parakeets in the trees. They were adorable and building their nest. Each time a bird would bring back some new materials for construction, they would all squawk it up in what I'd like to think was happiness, lol! My friend and I hung out here for almost an hour on the bench. We people watched, brought over our takeout pizza from Sartoria Panatieri Gràcia and had a lovely time.

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.
