Palau Güell was one of the first important commissions Antoni Gaudí received at the start of his career. Eusebi Güell (industrialist, politician, and patron of the arts) wanted Gaudí to build him this peculiar urban palace as an extension of the family home on La Rambla.
Today, you can book Palau Güell tickets online and visit a palace that's considered one of the masterpieces of the city's architectural landscape.
If you're really looking to elevate your Barcelona adventure, look no further than the Barcelona Port Cable Car. This aerial tramway soars high above the 'Modernisme' architecture and bustling streets of the Catalan capital, providing a splendid bird's-eye view of the city.
The Port Cable Car crosses the historic harbor of Port Vell and connects the Montjuïc hill with the seaside suburb of Barceloneta. It's not to be confused with the Montjuïc Cable Car, which links the upper terminus of the Montjuïc funicular with Montjuïc Castle.
