DAY TRIP
The famous one. Most people fly here and stay in the city. From Mas Luna it's a one-hour train ride — and you sleep in the quiet of the Catalan hills, away from the crowds.

The most photographed Gaudí park. Go at opening time. The Bunkers del Carmel give you a similar view of the city, free, less crowded.
Wander without an agenda. Get lost in the alleys.
Civil War-era anti-aircraft positions on a hill in the Carmel district. Free, the best sunset view of the city. Take metro and walk.
A quieter neighbourhood with great food. Mercat de Sant Antoni and Mercat de la Llibertat are better than the tourist-heavy Boqueria. Avoid La Rambla restaurants.
Camp Nou is closed for renovation (planned reopening late 2026). FC Barcelona currently plays at the Olympic Stadium on Montjuïc.
Check availability — and pack good walking shoes.
