Here under Spain - Barcelona in 1 day, you will find travel information for that day, with all the practical information including the opening hours and addresses of the different attractions.
Barcelona in 1 day:
Start your tour by walking through La Rambla quarter which is a broad, pedestrian boulevard, lined with cafés and restaurants. It's also head to Spain's most famous street for a first taste of Barcelona's atmosphere.
Continue visiting the Gothic Quarter, called Barri Gothic in Catalan, a classic medieval warren of narrow, winding streets, quaint little plaças, and grand mansions and monuments from the city's golden age.
In this quarter, discover the Cathedral with its most magnificent Gothic structure. On the Plaça del Rey, visit one of Barcelona's most fascinating sights, the Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat, combining large sections of the palace with a subterranean walk through Roman and Visigothic Barcelona.
Continue by discovering the Roman walls and see the two best surviving stretches of Barcelona's Roman walls. To finish your Barri Gothic discovery, go to the Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol, the prettiest plaza in the quarter, and have a look to the Esglesia de Santa Maria el Pi. This Gothic church has a beautiful rose window above its entrance on Plaça del Pi which is claimed to be the world's biggest.
Next, go to walk through La Ribera. This quarter was the pumping commercial heart of medieval Barcelona. In La Ribera, visit the Museu Picasso, city's most visited museum, which concentrates on Picasso's formative years and several highly specific moments in his later life. Then, admire the Esglesia de Santa Maria del Mar, Barcelona's finest Gothic church.
After that, take the way of the Casa Batllo, a gorgeous Gaudi work that you can't miss. Keep going with the Gaudi work and admire La Pedrera, a combined apartment and office block.
Finish your Barcelona's visit by discovering the most beautiful masterpiece in Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia. It inspires awe with its sheer verticality and, in the true manner of the great medieval cathedrals it emulates, it's still only half-built after more than 100 years.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
