Magic Fountain
Tucked away in Barcelona's Montjuïc neighbourhood, the illuminated Magic Fountain has enthralled adults and children for decades. First constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, it's now the site of free open-air shows. The unique choreography brings water, colour, light, and music together for mystical performances.

Sagrada Família
No family holiday in Barcelona would be complete without a visit to Gaudí’s most iconic legacy. Construction of this famous Catholic landmark began in 1882 and is not set for completion until 2026, a century after its renowned architect died. The pinnacle of Gaudi’s distinctive architectural vision, it combines intricate, unique Gothic and Art Nouveau styles.

La Boqueria

Park Güell
Another of Gaudí’s masterpieces, Park Güell is a kaleidoscope of hypnotic colours and patterns, and the idyllic backdrop for families to enjoy the surrounding outdoors of Barcelona.
