Sagrada Família
Construction started in 1882; Gaudí took over in 1883 and redirected it entirely — it has now been under construction for over 140 years and still isn't finished. Inside, the stained glass turns sunlight into something that makes atheists go quiet.

Park Güell
The ticketed monumental zone is Gaudí's fever dream in broken ceramic, with city views that make the climb worthwhile. Skip the free outer park unless you want a photo with a costumed dragon.
🕒 9:30–19:30 (varies seasonally); timed-entry tickets required — book at parkguell.barcelona

La Rambla
A 1.2-kilometre promenade where the city goes to watch tourists watch back — human statues, flower stalls, overpriced coffee. Keep a hand on your wallet and enjoy it anyway; the energy is real.

Barcelona Cathedral
Free to enter in the early morning, ticketed after noon; the cloister houses 13 geese that nobody can satisfactorily explain. The surrounding Gothic Quarter lanes are better walked than read about.
🕒 Daily; free until ~12:30, paid admission 12:30–17:30 (check cathedral website for current times)
