Top Culture in Catalonia

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!

Don't forget to check the schedule for the mass. I stumbled upon a service and it added a special vibe to my visit, even though I didn't plan for it.

I suggest visiting early in the morning, like around 9 AM. You'll find fewer crowds, which means better photos without random people in the background.

I thought the architecture was stunning, but some areas around the arch can be tricky to spot, so keep your eyes peeled for the small paths that lead to it!

I think packing your own snacks is a smart move. The onsite café can be a bit pricey, and there are lots of spots to chill and munch inside.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can explore without feeling rushed. Plus, you can snap those Insta-worthy pics!
