Sagrada Familia is one of the famous architectures of the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, and definitively the greatest product of his life. It has been started building since 1882. Because it is an ‘atonement church’, construction fee is based on donation, explaining in this way also the slow building progress. Furthermore, Sagrada Familia is the first architectures which listed on ‘World Heritage Site’ under constructions. If you do not want to wait for the long queue, you can choose to buy the ticket online before visiting.

Montserrat is one of the mountains which you can enjoy the most spectacular view and scenery. You can easily access there by train, or you can catch the cable car to access there, too. In Montserrat, not only can you enjoy the view as the writer mentioned above, but also sightsee different attractions there, including Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, which is one of the most famous abbeys in Barcelona. Besides Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, you can also enjoy visiting the church and if you are lucky, you may watch the hymn performance by lovely children. However, do not forget the photo-taking policy. When the church is having service, you are better to avoid taking photos in order to respect the atmosphere.

Casa Milá is another attraction which you should not miss it. It is located in Passeig de Grácia. Therefore, you can easily access there by public transportation. Case Milá was built from 1906 to 1912, which was Pere Mila’s house, the millionaire during that time. Pere Milá admired Antoni Gaudí’s design on Casa Batlló, so he invited Gaudí to design Casa Milá. It was listed as ‘World Heritage Sites’ in 1984. Outside Casa Mila, you can usually see a long queue, so it is better to reserve the ticket online.
