WHAT TO SEE

The must-see for all visitors to Barcelona is Gaudí’s famed cathedral, Sagrada Familia (sagradafamilia.org, tickets
start at €15), with its soaring towers and kaleidoscope stained-glass windows. Book your ticket online to save time
on lines. For more Gaudí for free, stop by Park Güell. If you have a bit more cash on hand, be sure to upgrade your
ticket for the Sagrada Familia to include a climb up the towers for breathtaking views of the city. Head next to the
Museu Picasso (museupicasso.bcn.ca, €11, buy these tickets online in advance as well), which houses one of the
most extensive collections of art by the legendary artist Pablo Picasso. The posh opera house Gran Teatre del Liceu
(liceubarcelona.cat) dates from 1847. Guided tours can be booked through the theater’s website, but the best way to
experience it is by attending one of the many operas and concerts scheduled throughout the year.
