★★★★★2 weeks agoStunning! So happy we got to see this in person! The detail is amazing, it’s so cool to see! We loved getting to see this, we walked around the city before heading over here, it wasn’t busy at all. A great sight to see! Definitely worth visiting if you’re in Barcelona! Wowwww😍

★★★★★4 months agoThe Arc de Triomf was so grand and impressive! The weather was great, so I just walked over to Ciutadella Park (Parc de la Ciutadella) from there. It's not usually a high priority in guidebooks, but it's pretty close to the Palau de la Música Catalana, so it might be a good idea to check it out while you're in the area.
