Park Güell sits on Carmel Hill in Barcelona’s Gràcia district, where Antoni Gaudí shaped paths, gardens and buildings into a distinctive public park. Look for the mosaic salamander on the entrance staircase, the columned Hypostyle Room and the curved, tiled bench above the former Greek Theatre. Higher paths and viewpoints give you a wide look across the city, with the sea visible from some spots. The park has steep sections and plenty of outdoor walking, so bring water and comfortable shoes, and leave time to explore beyond the busiest monuments.
