The mobile app was very useful and informative. The Barcelona hop-on hop-off tour was very sensible, and we couldn't have seen everything in one day on our own. Thanks to this tour, we got a complete tour of Barcelona. We did the full tour and then got off at the stops we liked. You can get off at any stop you want and then get back on the bus. Getting around the city on your own might end up costing you more in tickets, so this tour makes more sense. I'm attaching some photos of the beautiful sights we captured from the bus :)

I tried Barcelona's Hop On – Hop Off service during a weekend visit and, overall, it was an interesting and useful experience, especially for those visiting the city for the first time. You can hop on and off whenever you want, which is really convenient if you want to explore the city at your own pace. We purchased the 48-hour pass so we could cover all the lines. The service covers many of the main attractions such as the Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló, and Barceloneta, with panoramic views from the open-top bus. The staff are always polite and helpful—I recommend it.

My visit to the Moco Museum was an excellent experience from start to finish. The collection of modern and contemporary art is vibrant, thought‑provoking, and surprisingly accessible. The audio guide made a huge difference: it offered clear, engaging explanations that helped me dive deeper into the meaning and context behind each piece, transforming the visit into something much more immersive. One of the highlights was the multi‑sensory installation featuring lights and sound effects. It created a truly atmospheric environment that felt both playful and emotionally captivating — definitely one of the most memorable parts of the museum. A practical tip: I highly recommend purchasing tickets through the app. It’s quick, convenient, and noticeably cheaper than buying the full‑price ticket at the entrance.

Beautiful Cathedral well highlighted by our guide. The history was well explored and explained by our guide . We would never have known about the 13 geese without the guide. She also talked about the festival of Sant Elulia too which brought the exhibits to life.


The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, commonly known as the Barcelona Cathedral, is a remarkable architectural and religious monument in the capital city of Catalonia. Constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, the cathedral is known for its magnificent gothic style of architecture. The Barcelona Cathedral is where his holiness, the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain sits.

Why visit Barcelona Cathedral?

  • There's an adjoining cloister that features a verdant tropical garden that is home to 13 white geese that represent the age Saint Eulalia (the saint the Barcelona Cathedral was built in honor of) is believed to have died.

Barcelona Cathedral Highlights

The Cathedral floor and cloister

Located right next to the Barcelona Cathedral and easily accessible from the cathedral floor, is the cloister. It was built much later than the cathedral, sometime in the 14th century, and is considered just as beautiful, if not more. It is loved for the charming courtyard with tall palm trees; a refreshing change of scenery in the Gothic Quarter. Here, you also get to see the 13 geese bathing in the Well of the Geese. The geese are believed to represent the age at which Saint Eulalia was martyred. It is also one of the only places to host Barcelona's most striking tradition of 'Ou com Balla' or dancing egg.

The choir

One of the most magnificent sights and significant sculpture works inside Barcelona Cathedral is that of the choir or choir seats that date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Built in the Catalan Gothic style, its canopies and pinnacles were made by the sculptor Michael Lochner and his disciple Johan Friedrich at the end of the 15th century. Having preserved its charm as is, on these seats you see the details such as the coats-of-arms of the knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece which were painted on the backs of all the choir seats.

The Museum

Gothic Barcelona Cathedral has a small museum too, that is located under the gallery of the cloister next to the chapel dedicated to Saint Lucia. The museum does not have too many artefacts on display. However, the few works here are considered to be of great importance, like the works of Spanish gothic painter Bartolomé Bermejo. You will also find the terracotta sculpture of Saint Eulalia by Anthony Claperós, and paintings of Saint Bernardino and the Guardian Angel. Another significant piece is the monstrance, from the late-14th century, made up from the campaign throne of King Martin the Humane.

Chapel of Lepanto

The Chapel of Lepanto was built as a small chapterhouse or place to hold meetings. It is considered special because it holds an unusual crucifix known as the Holy Christ of Lepanto. The crucifix is famous for its slanted shape, which according to legend occurred when it was aboard a royal ship under the attack of a cannonball fire. It is believed that the crucifix miraculously leaned to the side on its own to avoid the fire and has stayed slanted that way since. Another story says the cross was in the ship and was moved to cover a large hole that would've sunk the ship.

Rooftops

To enjoy spectacular views of the city of Barcelona take the elevator up to the rooftops from the Barcelona Cathedral. It can be accessed through the chapel of Innocent Saints. This is an especially good idea if you're on a time-crunch, you'll only have to pay a small fee to use the lift. Once here, you get to take in the views of central Barcelona and some of the well-known parts of the city like the two bell towers, the two lateral pinnacles, the cimborio crowned by the Holy Cross, the cloister and just a beautiful panoramic view of Barcelona.
