The seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Cathedral of Barcelona is a giant Gothic temple also known as Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia. The entire church is ornate with spires and towers looking up into the sky. The architecture inside is breathtaking and we recommend taking the elevator to the top, to enjoy magnificent views of the city. If your visit is on a Thursday, don’t miss the antique market, Mercat Gotic, held from 10am to 8pm on the square in front of the cathedral.
Cathedral of Barcelona is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Barcelona.
You can almost feel history unfold as you stroll along the maze-like alleys of Barri Gotic in the heart of old Barcelona. It is also has a very hip and contemporary vibe, so the neighborhood is not just for the history buffs and the culture vultures. There is just so much to see and do in this bustling part of the city.
Visit. The beautiful gothic Barcelona Cathedral is free to visit, however, make sure you are dressed modestly in order not to be turned away at the door.
