to travel to Barcelona. Vámonos.

Number 1: the Gothic Quarter.

Start off in the heart of

old Barcelona in the winding streets of

the Gothic Quarter. It dates back to Roman times,

and it's the perfect place to get lost.

It's also home of Picasso museum,

but admissions are limited and

crowds are massive so

buy your tickets online to guarantee

yourself a spot.

Number 2: El Raval

Avoid the hustlers on las Ramblas, and go grab

a coffee in La Boqueria Market before

wandering the neighborhood of El Raval.

Long known for its vices, El Raval is full

of character and has plenty of plazas

for a leisurely menu del dia.

A three-course lunch for 10 to 15 Euros,

wine included.

After lunch head over to MACBA, the

contemporary art museum and a gathering

spot for Barcelona's international skate crowd.

Next, dive into the world of Gaudi, the

Catalan modernist architect that gave

Barcelona its distinct style 150 years ago.

Getting the intro at Casa Batilo

and Casa Milà , originally constructed as

a private mansions for Barcelona's

industrialists. Today they're open to the

public, and they offer augmented reality tours.

Number 4: the Sagrada Familia.

Gaudi's architectural masterpiece is

the Sagrada Familia Cathedral, which is

still under construction almost a

hundred years after Gaudi's death.

Crowds here are crazy.

It's easily the most popular attraction in

Barcelona, so either get here early,

book tickets online, or just take a selfie from

from across the street.

Not into churches?

Then check out Barcelona's other

cathedral, Camp Nou,

home to FC Barcelona,

one of the world's best football clubs

and the unofficial symbol of Catalan

culture abroad.

or Barcelona? Comment section.

If you can't get tickets,

don't worry. Every bar in town will be

playing the game, especially if it's El Classico.

Number 6: Parc Guell. Another must-

visit is Parc Guell, a mystical monument

of modernism built by, you guessed it,

Gaudi.

Access to the central part of the

park is restricted to a few hundred

people at a time, so book your tickets

online if you want that perfect Tinder

profile pic or just wander the outside

area out for free.

Number 7: Gracia.

From Parc Guell, walk down the hill

to Gracia, a village that has been

absorbed into Barcelona.

It's funky and bohemian and

it feels like a small-town oasis in the

middle of a big city. If you're visiting

in August, make sure you don't miss the

Festa Major de Gracia, which is a

neighborhood festival where locals

build huge human castles, known as Castells.

Number 8: Barceloneta.

One of the best things about

Barcelona is that it's right on the

Mediterranean. Barceloneta is the beach

of the city, and it's where the young and

sexy go to tan, occasionally surf, and

there's some great nightlife.

If you're at a beach for the day, the

enjoining neighborhood of Barceloneta is a

really great place to grab some lunch.

There's beautiful plazas as well as

some old school taverns that serve tapas.

Number 9: Bunkers del Carmel

For sunset, head to the hills in the

Bunquers del Carmelo, a military complex,

which helped defend the city when it was

besieged in the 1930s during

the Spanish Civil War.

A lot of people don't know this,

but during the Spanish Civil war, Barcelona was

actually run by an anarchist trade union.

To find out more about that

fascinating history, either take a walking

tour or check out the book by George

Orwell, Homage to Catalonia.

Numbers 10: tapas and nightlife.

When night falls, it's time

to get tapas, bite-size eats that cost

a few euros a pop.

One of the best places

to get tapas is the Carrer de Blai

in the neighborhood of Poble-sec

It's fun but not filling.

So if you're going to go party

make sure you order quite a few tapas

and get some patatas bravas, potatoes

which are great for soaking up the booze.

One last thing that's really important:

locals in Barcelona are having a huge

problem with tourists who are treating this

beautiful city like their personal

playground. If you go to Barcelona, please

make sure to be respectful and do not

make too much noise after 1am because

a lot of these areas have people sleeping.

Treat the locals how you would want to be treated

when you're at home. Be respectful.

Let's turn this problem around and

give foreigners a good reputation.

Okay guys. Those are our top 10

things to do in Barcelona.
