FIND YOUR BASE
A city stay suits architecture and neighbourhood life, while a base near the beach offers a different rhythm. Choose a small property if you plan to spend your days out, or a hotel with more facilities for quiet afternoons. Compare connections to Gaudí's landmarks and the historic centre.
Experience two of Gaudí's celebrated works on a guided tour. Park Güell's shapes and mosaics are paired with the light and architecture of the Sagrada Família, with transport between the two included.
