Majkelo
★★★★★2 weeks agoA fantastic place—it’s well worth walking the entire loop around the park! It’s crowded, but truly worth it. The park features many interesting architectural structures by Gaudí and plenty of greenery that makes for a great photo backdrop, plus a beautiful view of Barcelona.
Michael Přecechtěl
★★★★★3 weeks agoA very beautiful park that is definitely worth visiting. It offers stunning views of Barcelona, especially of the Sagrada Família. It wasn't crowded at all. We had booked a specific time slot, and everything went smoothly. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
