Extended Exploration: Optional Visit to Park Güell
For those who wish to extend their experience, I recommend considering a visit to Park Güell, one of Barcelona’s most enchanting spaces designed by Antoni Gaudí. The park is known for its vibrant mosaics, unique architectural elements, and panoramic views of the city.
Since the visit must be delivered by a Licensed guide it will have to be either booked on your own (I can help you with the tickets) or we can find a private guide to conduct the tour.
