Sagrada Familia and Park Guell are the 2 of Gaudi's most famous masterpieces. This guided tour that takes you to both these architectural wonders will help you not only expose you to a peripheral view but also help learn what it was that drove Gaudi's modernisme movement and its significance to the Catalan region. With varying colors and curved lines, Park Guell is an urban retreat unlike any other, perfectly portraying Gaudi’s design principles. Sagrada Familia Barcelona has been under construction for the last 136 years! However, that itself is a testament to its grandiose and glory.
