5 Incredible European Wonders to Experience

Barcelona’s Park Güell is a masterpiece

Bring some local tapas and a strong Spanish coffee for a picnic at an outdoor park-meets-museum. Barcelona’s Park Güell is a masterpiece by famed architect Antoni Gaudi. Colorful tiles cover nearly every surface. The structures, sculptures and pillars are accented with lush vegetation. Finding the fun (think giant rainbow-hued lizard!) motifs displayed throughout the park makes it hard to believe that it was constructed over 100 years ago as a site for upscale homes.

Gaudí House Museum

Walking through the park you’ll notice a “pink tower,” which is the Gaudí House Museum, a classic show-home preserved from when the area was a builder’s showcase. The joy of visiting this World Heritage Site lies in discovering a hidden artistic element at every turn – like the undulating bench overlooking the city of Barcelona. Snag a seat on the bench for a Spanish tapas picnic and marvel at all its creative splendor.

      Beautiful! Gosh, I haven’t been to any of these places. So many fascinating places. I’m a fan of fragrances and I would love to visit Le Studio des Fragrances at Galimard. Visiting that place and creating my own bottle of perfume would be a dream come true.Thanks for highlighting these cities!

      Informative list, thanks. I must say that these awesome places are worth checking out. It’s worth it to sit back and enjoy a well-earned meal at Il Tramonto while watching the sun set. I would love to witness that beautiful sunset with my fiance. thanks for this excellent post!

      So many fascinating places. Travelling around the world sounds like a goal worth pursuing. I’ve talked to countless people about their adventures and experiences in life. It’s really an accomplishment to see and enjoy the wonders of this world. Time to update the bucket list, perhaps. ?

      Majestic. That’s the word I could describe to those places. I think that Europe is everyone’s favorite continent. I’m going to Budapest this summer, heard that is an amazing city as well. Great read.
