Barcelona is one of the top destinations to visit in the world. Renowned for its awe-inspiring architecture, this city offers genuinely unique experiences. Basílica de la Sagrada Família began construction in 1882 and is still ongoing, making it the largest unfinished catholic church in the world. The church has an eye-catching, unique design on the outside, enticing visitors inside, where they will be treated to breathtaking views of the sunlight shining through the numerous stained glass windows. Mercat de la Boqueria is one of the most famous markets in the world. Since 1836, up to 200 local vendors have opened their stalls daily to barter with visitors on the finest local produce, meats, and much more. The market space offers more than just groceries. It also features quite a few bars and specialty shops. Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona, is a must-visit for any football or "soccer fan." Catching a game in this legendary stadium is on any fan's bucket list, but even on nongame days, the stadium offers guided tours of the facilities and club museum. The Picasso Museum Barcelona houses an extensive collection of over 4,000 works by Pablo Picasso. Many of the works displayed are from Picasso's early years and give an interesting perspective on his relationship with the city.
