city located in the Catalonia region of the northeastern part of Spain on the Mediterranean
coast. There are hundreds, if not thousands of things to do in the city. So if you only

places. Hi everybody. I'm Antoinette and welcome back to my channel at Frolic & Courage 00:00:22:06 - 00:00:45:00

the city's artistic and cultural heritage. It features the most impressive work by the
architectural genius Antoni Gaud. Get used to his name because he has built many impressive

Familia video that I just dropped last week. It'll be in the description box down below.
The next place you don't want to leave Barcelona without visiting is Park Güell. Park Güell
is located in the Gràcia neighborhood. 00:01:46:25 - 00:02:10:19
Unknown It is accessible via metro stop on the Lesseps
station line L3 green, and it's a short walk from that metro station. But note that it
has hills and it's a pretty steep walk, which is a great warm up for the winding hills and
paths that you'll encounter in this park. Park Güell is another Gaudí masterpiece,
and it features these whimsical structures, these colorful mosaics, and has beautiful
views of the city. 00:02:10:20 - 00:02:32:06
Unknown It is 42 acres....yeah, it's a lot! Gaudí
moved to Park Güell in 1906, so while you're there, also check out the Gaudí House Museum
for an intimate look at his living quarters. I mean, Park Güell, It really feels like
you're walking through a park in a Dr. Seuss book. It is that whimsy. Prices are about
€10 to €25, with kids 7 to 12 about €7, 00:02:32:06 - 00:02:55:21

Ciutat Vella neighborhood or the “Old City,” the historical center of Barcelona. 00:02:55:22 - 00:03:20:12

L1 Red and L3 Green. La Rambla is a pedestrian street in the heart of Barcelona, and it is
lined with these artisan crafts, stalls, cafes, street performers, and bustling markets. It’s
absolutely free to walk the street with the prices depending on what you buy from each
store. 00:03:20:12 - 00:03:39:00
Unknown But you also need to know this - Barcelona
and La Rambla in particular is kind of a pickpocket central. So watch your bags there and throughout
your stay in Barcelona, make sure that your purses, ladies, have: no open flaps, they
can zip close, your hands are on it because pickpockets are kind of a thing during the
day, even, as well as at night. 00:03:39:01 - 00:04:00:20
Unknown So just be safe. Off La Rambla is Mercat de
Sant Josep de la Boqueria, also known as Mercado de La Boqueria. Early records indicate that
this market has been in existence since the 1200s. Yeah, it is a food lover's paradise
with over 300 stalls selling high quality products from raw food all the way to cooked
food. With prices ranging between €2 and €20. 00:04:00:20 - 00:04:23:02
Unknown We visited La Boqueria and I have no regrets,
so we went there first with the private chef for a cooking class to pick up fresh seafood.
And then the second time we went because, yeah, we wanted to go back. We stuffed our
faces full of a lot of great, great food. You don't want to miss La Boqueria right off
La Rambla. The fourth place you don't want to leave Barcelona without visiting is the
Gothic Quarter, also known as Barri Gòtic. 00:04:23:03 - 00:04:44:07

Vella neighborhood and there are several metro stops that are the closest. You can get off

the historic center of Barcelona, featuring a maze of these narrowing medieval streets,

meander through the streets and walk around. There are some really cool places there, like
Plaça Reial, which is a charming, lively square offering palm trees, the gorgeous fountain,
outdoor cafes. And it's one of Gaudí’s first works, these intricate lampposts. It
really does call your attention to who would think a lamp post would get your attention,
but Gaudí’s lampposts definitely do. 00:05:07:10 - 00:05:25:17
Unknown There's also the Barcelona Cathedral, Palau

station lines L2 on the Purple Line and Line L3 Green. The metro station, you guys need
to know, is actually near the base of Montjuïc. So from there you can take the funicular or

transportation on a budget which includes information about the cable car, the Montjuïc
funicular, and the prices everything. 00:07:49:24 - 00:08:11:23
Unknown So don't forget to check that out. Montjuïc
is a hill that overlooks the city. It offers a breathtaking panoramic views of the city.
It has, like a really rich history that includes iconic landmarks, museums, gardens, and the
1992 Olympic venues. Because it sits on one of the highest points in the city, it is a

There's a couple of beaches in Barcelona that you can go to, 00:09:17:20 - 00:09:39:18

neighborhood. The closest metro stop is Arc de Triomf on the line L1 Red Line. Parc de
la Ciutadella in Barcelona is a must visit due to its history and beauty. It was originally
built as a military fortress in the 18th century and was later transformed into this lush urban
oasis. 00:10:24:03 - 00:10:51:13
Unknown And I tend to think of it like Central Park
in New York, but it's in Barcelona. This massive green space in the middle of a city. It's
no longer a military fortress today, but now you can actually enjoy strolling through the
picturesque gardens and the lakes and the iconic monuments, including the Cascadea fountain.
The park has a rich heritage and such peaceful ambiance, which makes it a perfect escape
from the city. 00:10:51:20 - 00:11:12:24

is free and it's just fun to explore and hang out. You really don't want to miss it. If
you want to see what these don't miss places in Barcelona actually look like, you can watch
my “three days in Barcelona” and my “last day in Barcelona” vlogs that are linked
