Where to Take the Best Photos in Barcelona – 7 Stunning Locations

Barcelona is a vibrant and visually stunning city, full of incredible sights, colors, and architecture. Simply strolling through its streets is a treat for the eyes. One of the main reasons for the city’s unique beauty is the influence of Antoni Gaudí, whose iconic works define much of Barcelona’s charm and skyline.

Here are 7 must-visit photo spots in Barcelona that you should add to your itinerary.

…

1. Sagrada Família

A visit to Barcelona is not complete without admiring Sagrada Família. This is Gaudi’s most popular building and there’s a good reason why: it’s an absolute master piece!

If you want to have a complete shot of this beauty, head over to the park in front of Sagrada Família where you’ll find a few spots to take some impressive pictures. They’re also ideal locations to just enjoy the view.

…

2. Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is another highlight that was designed by Antoni Gaudí. This building is a piece of art and definitely something you need to see during your stay in Barcelona.

You can admire it from the outside or make your way in to visit the inside. Entrance tickets are €35 per person and are advised to be booked in advance.

In terms of taking photo’s here: this can be a little challenging as this spot gets pretty crowded during the day. I advice to come first thing in the morning if you want to see this stunning building without a huge crowd in front of you.

An additional tip is to cross the street where you’ll find another great photo spot!

…

If your agenda allows it, plan your trip around the 23rd of April. On this day, roses and books are exchanged to celebrate the tradition of Sant Jordi. Many people in the city are carrying roses that day while Casa Batlló is decorated with hundreds of red roses. Definitely something to consider when booking your next trip to Barcelona!

3. El Beso de Joan Fontcuberta

4. Park Güell

You can’t go to Barcelona without visiting the famous Park Güell. Even though the park was smaller than I expected, I was impressed by its beauty and the stunning views over the city.

Make sure to book your tickets in advance as they tend to sell out quickly (definitely in high season). A single entry ticket costs €13 (Spring 2022).

…

5. Pont del Bisbe

The next photo spot is located in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. In one of the many small streets, you’ll find Pont del Bisbe. Definitely worth passing by during your stroll in the historic centre of Barcelona.

…

6. Parc de la Ciutadella

Parc de la Ciutadella is one of my favourite places in all of Barcelona. And it’s a picturesque one as well! This green oasis allows for a fun and romantic stroll in the park. If the weather allows it, you can do a picnic here as well. The most photographed spot in the park is definitely the Font de la Cascada.

…

7. Arc de Triomf

If you saw Arc de Triomphe in Paris and thought it was impressive, then the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona won’t disappoint you. This spectacular construction leads to the entrance of Parc de la Ciutadella. If you’re in front of it, it’s like a gate to heaven.
