Barcelona

The first day I recommend starting with a walk on the famous Rambla Avenue which is a long sidewalk with stalls of food, flowers, and souvenirs. Since this is a central place with lots of tourists – take good care of your bags while walking and beware of pickpockets.

Palau de la Música Catalana – a concert hall that is one of the most popular sites in Barcelona among tourists. You can get there on foot / by bus/metro (about 15 minutes). Bus lines V15, V17, 45. Metro: L1, L4. It is a masterpiece created by an architect named Luis Dominic I Montaner. This is a building that is specially and magically designed with a combination of stained glass and special mosaics, and concerts are held there regularly. The cost of the tour of the place: You can take a self-guided tour inside the building (10 euros) or a guided tour (18 euros). For those who book 21 days in advance, the cost is 16 euros instead of 20. Admission is free for children under 10, and senior citizens 16 euros. A 20% discount is also given to those who purchased tickets for the tour bus in the city (the tour bus) – the ticket must be presented at the box office.

o get there take the metro line l-3 or L-1 to the Plaza España (Plaza España) station. The exit from the metro will lead you directly to the beautiful Espanya Square, directly opposite which you will see the Palau Nacional Palace, which we will reach later. Now get on bus line 150 (his bus stop is next to the metro). Line 150 ascends the mountain through several stations to the fortress at the top of Montjuic Hill. One option is to get off the bus at the entrance to the fort and then get off there by cable car or on foot. Another option is to get off the bus before arriving at the fort, at a station called Panicular from where the cable car leaves in the direction of up the hill (towards the fort), and then get off on foot.

When you visit Barcelona, ​​you should, at least for one day, behave like a local. Visit this special district, the Gracia district, and there is no doubt at all that your suitcase of experiences will be filled even more. ‍ For those interested, there is a guided tour in a package that combines the three magnificent buildings of Gaudi.

For many visitors, a visit to the Monastery de Montserrat (some look at its name Montserrat also means the devoted Mount of Teeth and when you visit the place you will immediately understand why) – which in the region of Catalonia in Barcelona (Spain) is the highlight of this trip. Montserrat is a Benedictine monastery located (or rather rock-cut) on a mountain of incredible beauty about an hour by train northwest of Barcelona. Not only does the monastery boast of ancient history and immense religious importance, but also the stunning views that surround it have become a good enough reason for a pilgrimage. Apart from this monastery, it is a national park that includes a jagged and unique mountain range so if you enjoy walking, some particularly interesting trails pass through the mountains that surround the monastery, where you can experience stunning views of the unique stone textures that exist throughout Catalonia. ‍ You can also ascend to the top of the mountain with the help of the cable car and the funicular of the place, and from there choose between several different hiking trails which all wrap around the breathtaking views of the rural Catalonia region and so different from the cityscape of Barcelona. ‍
