Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece
Our walking tour through Barcelona starts at the Sagrada Familia. The Sagrada Familia is the absolute masterpiece of Antoni Gaudí, the masterpiece he was never able to finish. The Sagrada Familia is a cathedral, which is both grand and bizarre at the same time. The exterior of this cathedral alone has so many details that your eyes will not be able to take it all in. Take the time to take in the Sagrada Familia during your city trip through Barcelona. This also counts for the inside. The inside of the Sagrada Familia has so many special details. But it is above all the great light through all the special, colored stained glass windows, which impresses in this cathedral. The Sagrada Familia is actually a must visit when you are in Barcelona.

Casa Batlló, a fairy tale in Barcelona
The next stop on our walking tour is Casa Batlló. It's a 1.8km and 22 minute walk to this next stop on our Barcelona walking tour. Casa Batlló is a fairytale-like building in the Eixample district of Barcelona and a must see during your city trip to Barcelona. The facade of Casa Batlló is a true fairytale and you could easily transfer it to the fairytale forest in the Efteling. But the inside of Casa Batlló is just as special. For example, did you know that this house in Barcelona does not have a single straight wall?
Really everything in Casa Batlló is strange, but strange in a good way. The spaces, the colours, the roof terrace, there is so much to see at Casa Batlló. A visit to Casa Batlló is great fun for the children, because they receive an audio/video tour when they enter, which also makes a visit to Casa Batlló interactive. We therefore advise you to definitely visit Casa Batlló during your walking tour through Barcelona.
Adress: Pg. de Gràcia, 43, 08007 Barcelona

Casa Milà-La Pedrera, the most beautiful roof terrace in Barcelona
The next stop on our walking tour through Barcelona is Casa Milà - La Pedrera. It is a 500 m and 7 minute walk to this next stop on the walking tour, Casa Milà - La Pedrera. Casa Milà - La Pedrera is again one of the special buildings of Antoni Gaudí. Although the facade of this building may not be as fairytale-like and impressive as the facade of Casa Batlló, this vaulted facade is also a very special piece of architecture. The undulating roof terrace of Casa Milà - La Pedrera is the main attraction of this unique building. The roof terrace is really a special piece of architecture, but there is also plenty to see inside Casa Milà - La Pedrera. The attic of Casa Milà - La Pedrera with its vaulted ceilings is especially beautiful.

Casa Vicens, the first house of Gaudí in Barcelona
The next stop on our walking tour through Barcelona is Casa Vicens. It is 1.5 kilometers and 20 minutes to Casa Vicens. Casa Vicens is the first house that a still young Antoni Gaudí was allowed to design and a must see during your city trip to Barcelona. The style of Casa Vicens is completely different from his other buildings, making this house a standout in Barcelona. In Casa Vicens you do not see the wavy lines that you see in most other buildings by Antoni Gaudí, but many right angles and loose tiles. In addition to natural stone, you will see many red bricks and ceramic tiles in Casa Vicens. Another special part of this house is that the house has no corridors. All rooms flow into each other. Casa Vicens is different from the other Antoni Gaudi buildings we see on our walking tour through Barcelona.

The gems of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona
Visiting Gaudí's buildings isn't cheap, so most people don't visit all the buildings inside. As far as we are concerned, the Sagrada Familia and Parc Park Güell are the absolute toppers, with Casa Batlló at number three. Now the buildings of Gaudí are also gems to admire from the outside, so even if you don't go inside at all, you will still be impressed by the remarkable talent of Antoni Gaudí after this walk.
