Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Barcelona

"Behold the insouciant creative dynamism of Europe's most bizarre cathedral. Often called "the last cathedral" (even though it's not technically a cathedral), the Sagrada Familia inspires, delights, torments, and disturbs in equal measure. It is Barcelona's Holy Grail of religious buildings."

"Start your day by going to Sagrada Familia first thing in the morning as the lines get extremely long and the place gets incredibly crowded."

"One of Antoni Gaudí’s most famed works, and one of the most visited attractions in Barcelona, is the spectacular Park Güell. One of the city’s largest parks, it is a green space that is rich in biodiversity and offers panoramic views of the city at its feet. You can either take a stroll around for free in the natural areas or pay a fee to enter the ‘monumental zone’ where the core attractions of the park are."

"Park Guell receives more than ten million tourists every year. Within the park Antoni Gaudi built a residential complex, which became his masterpiece."

"Next, head to both, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. They are a 6 minute walk away, and are both the perfect reflection of Gaudi’s eccentric architecture. Curvy walls, weird alleyways, polychromatic colors, hypnotic paintings and much more, you’ll be able to truly get a taste of Gaudi on a more intimate level than ParcGuell. It’s a legend of architecture, of creation, the true meaning of letting your creativity run wild."

"Casa Batlló is located along Passeig de Gràcia and this street is worth walking just for the row of houses that make it famous. This is a major thoroughfare of Barcelona and we stayed in the Majestic Hotel and Spa located on this street. There are several shops and restaurants, but it is Casa Batlló that is the star attraction."

"Do you want to make your trip to Barcelona unforgettable for your kids?. Take them for a dramatized theatrical tour at Casa Battlo. Either the family’s housekeeper or Lady Ramoneta herself will show your kids the crannies and nooks of the house while telling them some unforgettable anecdotes about the family."

"If you are still not dazzled by Gaudí’s legacy in Barcelona, la Pedrera (also known as Casa Milà) will definitely conquer you. The building has six floors full of sinuous curves, impossible architectural forms and a decoration that, as in the Sagrada Familia and most of Gaudí’s works, recreates the forms of nature. But if anything stands out in the Pedrera is its unusual roof with a great artistic and symbolic power, in which its chimneys in the form of sculptures of warriors form an impressive army of stone."

"This madcap Gaudí masterpiece was built in 1905–10 as a combined apartment and office block. Formally called Casa Milà, after the businessman who commissioned it, it is better known as La Pedrera (the Quarry) because of its uneven grey stone facade, which ripples around the corner of Carrer de Provença."

"Gaudi designed the famous Cascada Fountain when he was an architecture student. On a warm day, I just like to sit and stare at the fountain. There’s also a zoo in the park and some short walking paths. Take a bottle of wine, grab some ham, and have a picnic."

"The Cascada Fountain is a beautiful fountain that is the centerpiece of Ciutadella Park. While working for designer Josep Fontserè Gaudi designed the water tanks and hydraulics. If it looks familiar, you are correct."

"Address: Parc de la Ciutadella, Passeig de Picasso, 21, 08003 Barcelona, Spain. Schedule: Open until 10:00 PM. Telephone: +34 934 02 70 00"

"Perched atop of Tibidabo Mountain you’ll find find much more than just monumental views of the city. You’ll also find the impressive Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor, an awe-inspiring neo-Gothic church surrounded by a Romanesque fortress of stone. The church is the work of the Spanish architect Enric Sagnier and was completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier I Vidal in 1961, after 59 years of construction."

"Tibidabo should be your first stop if you’re a first time visitor to Barcelona. The breathtaking views from Tibidabo are simply spectacular!. You can see the entire city of Barcelona, in all its glory, right below you."

"The basilica of Santa María del Mar, located in the Born district, is considered the best example of Catalan Gothic architecture thanks to its elegant and austere façade, its endless columns and the beauty of stone surfaces. The temple, which inspired the famous novel “The Cathedral of the Sea” by Ildefonso Falcones, was built between 1329 and 1383 and was funded by the parishioners of the neighborhood, who helped raise it with their money and hard work. As a curiosity, camouflaged between the beautiful windows of the basilica you can find a shield of FC Barcelona."

"Built between 1329 and 1383, Santa María del Mar is a remarkable basilica. It is considered by many as the best example of Catalan Gothic architecture."

"This impressive 145 meter high skyscraper became a symbol of the urban landscape because of its contemporary design, which plays with the opposite concepts of massiveness and lightness. Jean Nouvel and b720 Arquitectos created a cylindrical building topped with a glass dome, working on concrete structural walls that were covered with colorful glass louvers. This exterior layer provides a changeable facade that seems to be lighter."

"French architect Jean Nouvel’s mission when designing the rocket-shaped Torre Glòries (formerly Torre Agbar) was to create a building that would become a symbol of ‘Barcelona the international city’. He describes the Torre Glòries as “architecture of the earth, without the heaviness of stone”. And there is, indeed, something organic and ancient-looking to the shape of the modern tower."

"Perched atop of Tibidabo Mountain you’ll find find much more than just monumental views of the city. You’ll also find the impressive Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor, an awe-inspiring neo-Gothic church surrounded by a Romanesque fortress of stone. The church is the work of the Spanish architect Enric Sagnier and was completed by his son Josep Maria Sagnier I Vidal in 1961, after 59 years of construction."

"Tibidabo should be your first stop if you’re a first time visitor to Barcelona. The breathtaking views from Tibidabo are simply spectacular!. You can see the entire city of Barcelona, in all its glory, right below you."

"The political and cultural center of the city, Placa Sant Jaume (or Saint James’s Square), is guarded, on one side by the seat of the Catalan Government, El Palau de la Generalitat, and on the other, by the Town Hall of Barcelona. The uniform of the policemen at the entrance and the flags flying on their roof should tell you which one is which. The Catalan police, called the Mossos d’Esquadra, will wear the traditional Catalan barretina hat, similar to the French birret. El Palau opens its doors to the public on key days such as St. Jordi (23rd April), La Merce, the city’s patron saint (24th September) and on the Catalan National Day – 11th September."

"Restaurants La Barceloneta. As well as producing legendary tapas for almost 50 years, since 2009 El Vaso de Oro has been serving Fort beer at the perfect temperature, straight from the brewery in L’Hospitalet. One of their delectable 'platillos' (small plates of food) accompanied by a slender flute of ice-cold beer should be a rite of passage for any beer fan in Barcelona."

"Another amazing choice for traditional Spanish tapas in Barcelona is called El Vaso de Oro, and it’s practically hidden away in the Barceloneta neighborhood. This place gets BUSY and is full of atmosphere. Order a draft beer and some tapas, and you’ll definitely know that you’re in Spain!"

"If you want to spend a pleasant evening with friends in a cute cafe, then Buenas Migas is the ideal spot for some cheerful time and good food. It has a cosy ambience with charming decors. As for their food, they only serve homemade dishes made from quality ingredients, which they sell for an affordable price."

"With multiple spots around town, Buenas Migas is an easy-to-find—and yummy—Cheapo option. Choose from focaccia pizzas, ample salads, plus an array of sandwiches and pastries. A focaccia pizza will run you between €4 and €5 (flavors include ‘meat-lovers’, tomato and basil, and four-cheese)."
