Spain Square
Make sure to wear comfy shoes! You'll be walking a lot on those beautiful tiles and cobblestones. I seriously regretted my choice of footwear when my feet started to hurt.
Don’t miss the small details on the buildings—some are stunning. I wish I had taken more time just to admire the intricate carvings and tile work. Bring a camera with a good zoom!
Alhambra
Prado National Museum
I recommend starting your visit at around 10 AM when they open. The crowds are way lighter and you can enjoy the art without being jostled around.
If you're on a budget, try to visit on weekends or free entry days! You can get in for free on certain nights, just check the schedule online before you go.
Look out for the short audio guides! They’re inexpensive and provide awesome insights into the most famous pieces—definitely helped enhance my experience.
Sagrada Familia
Casa Batllo
Plaza Catalunya
Plaza Mayor
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
My advice would be to grab a snack at the museum café but to eat outside. The views of the river and bridge are stunning, and it adds to the experience.
After your visit, stroll along the riverfront. It's a beautiful space to reflect on the art and soak in the surroundings – I loved that part!
If you're planning to explore the museum thoroughly, dedicate at least half a day. I didn’t realize how much there was to see and rushed through some exhibits
Fountain of Montjuic
Try to avoid visiting on weekends if you can. I was packed in like sardines and couldn’t get good pictures. Weekdays are way less crowded!
