PAID · ONE PER CITY
If you spend on one thing in Barcelona, make it this.
Sagrada Família
No free slot exists for visitors and nothing else in the city looks like the inside: a forest of branching columns washed blue in the morning and orange in the late afternoon. Book a timed ticket weeks ahead and skip the tower add-on if money is tight.
Everything above is free. This is the only paid pick on the page, chosen because no free option replaces it.
