Official web site: La
Sagrada Familia A Giant Temple designed by the master architect Antonio Gaudi. This building has been under construction since 1882 and they've still got another 30 to 80 years (depending on funding and resources) to go before it will be finished.

whatever you think I guarantee it will cause a reaction one way
or the other.

7 Barcelona Tourist Attraction - Picasso Museum
The museum has arranged Picasso's paintings in chronological order from his early days to his final works. Arranging the paintings in this way gives you a fascinating insight into the development of Picasso thinking over time and shows how he developed the distinctive designs that he is famous for today. Very popular art gallery. No. 8 Barcelona Tourist Attraction - Imax Cinema (671,512 visits/year) Save 10% with the Barcelona Card The IMAX cinema is right next door to the Barcelona Aquarium (see above) What I like to do is go and see the 3 D movie "Killer Sharks" in the IMAX then pop over to the Aquarium to see the real thing. Adds a whole new dimension to your experience :-) No. 9 Barcelona Tourist Attraction - Miró Museum (518,869 visits/year) Official
web site: Joan
Miró
This art gallery has a wide range of Miró's work dating back as far as 1914. This artwork collection not only includes his paintings but also a good selection of sculptures, tapestries and early sketches. A wonderful collection of Miró's work No.10
National Museum of Art of Catalunya MNAC
The Magic Fountain of Montjuic - one of my favourite Barcelona tourist attractions.
Official Web Site : Fonts of Barcelona I know I said I was only going to give the top 10 most famous Barcelona tourist attractions but one site which is very popular and in my opinion a "must" visit is the Magic Fountain of Montjuic. This is a light, music and water extravaganza that just can't be missed! Performances are nightly but times vary depending on the time of year. Las Ramblas - Barcelona's most famous StreetOne other "attraction" is of course Barcelona's most famous street La Rambla. I've put together three pages on La Rambla which summarize the main attractions and hotels on this famous street. La
Rambla Hotels
There are many other Barcelona tourist attractions but this page summarizes the most visited attractions. They are not necessarily "the best" attractions in Barcelona because the city has so much to offer you. It really depends what you are looking for. If you don't have much time to visit the city some of the Barcelona tourist attractions mentioned above should most certainly be on your short list. But don't forget places like Park Guell, Casa Mila and Barcelona Cathedral that are also very interesting attractions to visit.

surprises here. If you are a footie fan then this museum is a must
see. It has wall to wall trophies, pictures and statues of the greats.
I'm not a football fan but I still enjoyed walking round this museum.
When you buy your ticket you have 2 options. You can buy a ticket
for the museum and to see the stadium or you can buy a dual ticket
where you get to see the museum and behind the scenes at the club
e.g. changing rooms, VIP lounge, press conference areas etc. For
