Welcoming your Destination Wedding Guests to Barcelona

Our destination wedding guests often ask us for tips on what to see during a short stay in Barcelona, we put together a mini guide for you and your guests. Don’t forget to contact us if you have any questions:

First stop Gaudi

You can’t visit Barcelona without visiting one of Gaudi’s masterpieces

If your destination wedding guests are staying close to Paseo de Gracia, then you can start with Casa Batlló (Passeig de Gràcia, 43) and Casa Milà (Provença, 261-265) which is just a few blocks away. Both are must sees and unique examples of modernist architecture.

Just a few minutes away is the Sagrada Familia (Carrer de Mallorca, 401). It’s been under construction for more than 100 years, but rumour has it we will get to see a fully completed Sagrada Familia within the next 20 years! The interior is almost finished though so you’ll be able to check out high columns and colourful stained glass tiles. Make sure to buy your tickets online in advance to guarantee entry and skip the queue.

If you want a bit more of Gaudi off-the-beaten-path then head to the newly renovated Casa Vicens. To round off your Gaudí adventure don’t miss the Park Guell. Straight out of a fairy tale, this is the ideal place for your destination wedding guests to enjoy a Barcelona sunset before the wedding festivities start!
