La Sagrada Familia Church<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How about visiting a building that has taken more than 100 years to partially complete, with ongoing construction? The La Sagrada Familia is definitely one of Barcelona\u00b4s top spots to visit during your stay in the city. The church was designed by Antoni Gaudi more than 100 years ago while its foundation was laid back in 1882. Visitors looking to spend some time exploring this architectural and historic monument can do so from outside or take a more detailed tour inside. It is important to note that an entrance fee is charged for those taking a tour within the unfinished church.<\/p>\n

Las Ramblas<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tourists looking to get a closer feel of the Barcelona culture and its people can take a walk along Las Ramblas. The long street extending from the port on the sea to Pla\u00e7a Catalunya is filled with local shopping stalls and eateries. Visitors are warned to keep their bags close and secure as this spot is also notorious for pickpockets, especially in the wee hours of the morning. No other place in the city gives visitors a better opportunity to mingle with locals and experience the true spirit of Barcelona.<\/p>\n
