BARCELONA

Parc de la Ciutadella

Built on the site of a former military citadel, this is one of Barcelona’s most beloved parks. Locals come here to relax by the monumental fountain (partly designed by a young Gaudí), row boats on the lake, or enjoy a picnic under the palm trees. The park also houses the Parliament of Catalonia and the city’s zoo.
 

Arc de Triomf

This red-brick triumphal arch was built in 1888 as the grand entrance to the Universal Exhibition. Its decorative friezes feature figures symbolizing agriculture, trade, and industry - a celebration of the city’s ambitions at the time.
 

Casa Batlló

Nicknamed the "House of Bones" by locals, this fantastical building showcases Gaudí’s love for organic forms. Its undulating facade, colorful mosaics, and curved windows make it one of Barcelona’s most photographed sights.
 

Casa Milà (La Pedrera)

Also known as "The Stone Quarry" this striking apartment building challenged conventional architecture with its wavy stone facade and wrought-iron balconies. The rooftop chimneys, often compared to medieval knights, offer spectacular views of the city.
 

Plaça de Catalunya

Considered the heart of modern Barcelona, this large square connects the old city with the elegant Eixample district. It is the perfect starting point for exploring the city’s most famous streets, including Passeig de Gràcia and La Rambla.
 

La Rambla

Perhaps the most famous street in Spain, this tree-lined boulevard is a bustling mix of locals and tourists. From street performers to flower stalls and open-air cafes, La Rambla captures Barcelona’s unique energy.
 

La Boquería Market

Hidden off La Rambla, this colorful market dates back to 1217. Today it is one of Europe’s best food markets, where visitors can sample everything from fresh fruit to Iberian ham, seafood, and international delicacies. The market’s buzzing atmosphere is part of the experience.
 

Port Vell

The old port of Barcelona was transformed ahead of the 1992 Olympics into a modern marina. Today it is a popular leisure area with seafood restaurants, a shopping center, and a pleasant promenade by the sea.
 

Sagrada Familia

Barcelona’s most famous landmark, still under construction after more than 140 years. The basilica combines Gothic and Art Nouveau styles and reflects Gaudí’s extraordinary vision of architecture inspired by nature. Its intricate facades and towering spires are awe-inspiring both inside and out.
 

Torre Glòries

This 32-floor skyscraper, formerly known as Torre Agbar, lights up Barcelona’s skyline with a dazzling display of colors at night. Designed by Jean Nouvel, it symbolizes Barcelona’s modern and innovative side.
 

Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic)

Wandering through this maze of narrow medieval streets is like stepping back in time. The Gothic Quarter hides countless gems - Roman walls, hidden courtyards, the majestic Cathedral of Barcelona, and charming squares such as Plaça Reial.
 

Parc Güell

Originally conceived as a private residential complex, this whimsical park became a public space filled with Gaudí’s imaginative designs. The colorful mosaics, sinuous benches, and iconic lizard statue have made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the city’s must-see attractions.
 

Montjuïc

A green hill with panoramic views of Barcelona and its harbor. The Castle of Montjuïc has served as a fortress, prison, and military museum. Montjuïc is also home to museums, gardens, and the Olympic Stadium - a perfect place to combine sightseeing and relaxation.
 

ZARAGOZA

Plaza del Pilar

Zaragoza’s most important square, located on the banks of the Ebro River. It is home to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, a Baroque masterpiece and major pilgrimage site. Every October, during the Fiestas del Pilar, the square fills with flowers in honor of the Virgin.
 

Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar

According to tradition, this is the first church in history dedicated to Mary. Inside the basilica, visitors can admire Goya’s frescoes, as well as the revered statue of the Virgin, said to have been given to Saint James by Mary herself.
 

La Lonja

An elegant Renaissance building constructed in the 16th century as a merchants' exchange. The hall’s stunning ribbed ceiling and spacious interior now host temporary exhibitions.
 

Casa del Deán & Arch

One of Zaragoza’s most charming spots. The archway connects the Cathedral of La Seo with the Casa del Deán, formerly the residence of the cathedral’s dean. Its medieval charm makes it a favorite photo location.
 

Puente de Piedra

The Stone Bridge dates back to Roman times, though the current structure was rebuilt in the 15th century. The four lion statues added in 1991 symbolize the city’s coat of arms. The bridge offers beautiful views of the basilica and the river.
 

Aljafería Palace

A highlight of Zaragoza’s rich history. Built as an 11th-century Islamic palace, the Aljafería later became the residence of Aragonese kings and now houses the regional parliament. Its intricate Mudéjar ceilings and arches are recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
