Gaudi Trail, Barcelona

Antoni Gaudi is easily Spain's most famous architect. Born in Catalonia (the exact town is disputed), Gaudi's work has had a lasting impression on Barcelona with his Art Nouveau architecture. Even people with no previous love of architecture place visiting Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona at the top of their list of things to do in in the Catalan capital. No trip to Barcelona would be complete without visits to La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell, but there is more to Gaudi than just these two.

This Gaud� trail starts at Placa Real just off Las Ramblas (it would normally start on the other side of Las Ramblas with the Palau Guell, but this is currently covered in scoffolding). It then goes up Passeig de Gracia, taking in Casa Batllo and La Pedrera before veering off to the east to La Sagrada Familia and ends at Parc Guell.

Tour of Gaud�'s Barcelona

If it's specifically Gaudi that you're interested in (or you don't want to walk so far), this Tour of Gaudi's Barcelona is ideal. You'll take in Placa Espanya, the National Palace, Guell Park and the Sagrada Familia over an eight-hour period. This is a good introductory tour of Barcelona with some of Gaudi's highlights to be seen, but I wouldn't say it that closely linked to Gaudi. The tour above is better.
