One of my favourite things to do: Go to the old bunkers at sunset and enjoy the view of the entire city. Totally stunning. It’ll probably be full with people hanging out with some drinks.

Obviously you have to go see the Sagrada Familia and a few other Gaudi landmarks. Again, be sure to book in advance. Lines can be super long otherwise. 


Nightlife:


Best club ever! Must go!

Ah you can also do fun kayak excursions that take you to some nice place to kayak around. Very cool as well. Check GetYourGuide or so for these tours. 


Also you have to visit some of the classics like Mercado de La Boqueria

[Me: I went to Mercado and it’s watered down from the past aka kind of lame]



Just strolling around La Rambla and exploring a bit is fun


I‘d also check out Montjuïc
