We have three nights/two days (Tue, Wed) in Barcelona. And not falling prey to pickpockets sounds like the most important thing to do here.
Me, I want to see La Sagrada Familia, of course - the booking schedule makes it seem like this will take the better part of a day if we include a guided tour and climb one of the towers. And it will cost €22.80 each (avg) (or AU135 for the four of us) (entry to the basilica only - ie excluding the guide and tower - costs € €13.80 avg ea€)
I've now booked for Wednesday,24Sep 1Oct: entry @ 10:30, tour @11:15, nativity tower @ 12:45.
(BTW English-language tours are 11:15, 12:30, 13:45, and 15:00 in summer and go for an hour.)
Ky's already expressed interest in the Parc Guell by Gaudi, and there's also the Illa de la Discordia with several other Gaudi creations.
The Barrio Gotico (Gothic quarter) sounds fascinating, but we might go for the Barcelona History Museum instead, for a pre-digested version.
My well-travelled friend, Cake/Rhiannon, recommends getting out of Barcelona and taking the funicular up to Monserrat. A quick google suggests we definitely need to do this.
What else should we do or avoid?
