StreetSmart Barcelona is so legible you will easily understand how all parts of the city connect. From La Sagrada Familia to Mont Juic, from Park Guell to Casa Mila, from Barceloneta to La Boqueria and from Barri Gotic to Tibidabo. Barcelona, the city of Gaudiesque grandeur has been a creative and design capital since Roman times. Studded with architectural treasures from Romanesque to Gothic, Baroque to Neo Classical, Art Nouveau to Modernista (La Pedrera) and Modern (Barcelona Pavillion by Mies van der Rohe) the city attracts multitudes of tourists.
