Barcelona Express: What to see in Barcelona in one day

Whatever the reason you just You have one day to visit Barcelona, ​​we are going to make the most of it. A city with so many things to offer is not easy to discover in a single day. So it will try to condense and fold the map so that you can visit Barcelona in one day and see as much as possible. In this post we are going to do a express tour to discover the essentials of Barcelona in one day.

Tour of Barcelona in one day

I have thought of Start with sites further from the center. So we took off that tour first thing in the morning.

Remember to adapt this tour to the available hours of your trip. If you only have a few hours, it's best to stay in the center, around Plaza Cataluña, and stay there.

Our first point on the map

Sagrada Familia

Depending on where you are, I advise you to get there by metro or bus. In this way you will save time.

our first stop It is one of the most visited sites in the city and one of its characteristic emblems of the city.

The Holy Family, of our beloved Gaudí, is all a work of art that leaves you speechless. Despite being the eternal work and being surrounded by cranes, the basilica looks majestic and impressive.

One of the most photographed sites in Barcelona. I recommend you go to the park across the street and take a picture by the pond. From that angle you can see the entire basilica and the postcard is ideal.

Shall I show you a photo?

Ale, for the next. We take the until…

Paseo de Gracia and Plaza Cataluña

Depending on where you get off your route will start in one direction or another.

Plaza Cataluña is a large esplanade surrounded by buildings, shops, pigeons and people. It is the epicenter in which the entire city revolves and one of the most visited sites.

Si still reached this point You haven't eaten. I advise you to go up to the 9th floor of the English Court. It is one of the cheapest places to have breakfast in Barcelona. Curious but true.

A breakfast with coffee and ironed croissant does not usually exceed 5 euros. Furthermore the views from that height they are absolutely awesome. You will be able to savor a coffee quietly while you watch the bustle of the city.

If you decide to return to the city with more time I recommend you go to this beautiful cafeteria in Barcelona where you can have breakfast surrounded by flowers.

in Passeig de Gracia do not entertain yourself with their spectacular stores. Spend all day walking down this street. It's the most addictive in Barcelona for a reason and we owe a large part of it to the shop windows that compete for our attention.

keep walking and you will find yourself something that stands out above all the rest

The Casa Batlló

The most beautiful house in all of Barcelona and the most special for most Catalans. Here, on April 22, is celebrated the day of Sant Jordi. A very special day in Catalonia where red roses are given to women and books to men.

The story of the dragon and the princess comes to life on this very special day. If you look at the house you will realize that the balcony is formed with stilts that simulate the bones of a dragon. Another work traditional of the ingenious Gaudí.

La Rambla and La Boqueria

Going down from Plaza Cataluña we come face to face with the Rambla de Barcelona. The grace of this walk is making your way through the people while you stop every few minutes to see craft stalls, ice creams and flower shops.

La Boquería awaits you at number 91. In order not to waste a lot of time you can eat here and enjoy the variety, atmosphere and bustle of any market.

But this is a private market. The perfectly arranged exotic fruits, artisan chocolate stalls, empanadas, tacos and all kinds of food will not fail to attract your attention. La Boqueria is a unique place in the city of Barcelona and the favorite of those with a sweet tooth.

Columbus statue

Going down La Rambla you come across the statue of Columbus pointing towards America. Since the location is not my thing, I believe the story and that's it.

Another emblem of Barcelona from where you will walk to Barceloneta.

Barceloneta and the Old Port

Here our tour ends taking a walk through Barceloneta. In the port you will be able to see all kinds of boats, from incredible sailboats to yachts with a heliport and all kinds of luxurious boats.

A good point for visit the beach if you have time or to turn around and continue with your life after getting to know one of the most impressive cities in the world.

Now I have to ask you: Will you return to Barcelona?

If your answer is yes, I'll wait for you here.
