If you do your internship in the city of Barcelona you will have the chance to enjoy its cultural wealth. 

La Sagrada Familia and Gaudi

First of all, La Sagrada Familia. This religious building has become one of the symbols of the city of Barcelona. Gaudi is the creator of the sumptuous architecture that makes the Sagrada Familia so special. With its architecture between Gothic and modernism, the Sagrada Familia is a must-see in Barcelona. That’s why you have to visit this basilica both from the outside and the inside. 

Gaudi is an architect who marked the architecture of Barcelona. Indeed, we can find many monuments that are works of the Catalan architect, such as the Casa Batllo, the Casa Mila, the Parc Güell, or the lamp posts with offbeat design in the square of the Arch of Triumphs. Gaudi was one of the most prodigious architects of his time, and his artistic touch can be found throughout Barcelona.

Triumphal Arch and Ciutadella Park

The Triumphal Arch is located on a large avenue that you can walk down to reach the Ciutadella Park. This park has huge fountains, a lake on which you can take a boat ride. You can also visit the zoo and a museum. The park is full of beautiful places. 

Montjuic 

At the top of the Montjuïc mountain is the Montjuïc castle. You can get there by taking a cable car ride. Once on the hill of Montjuic, you can enjoy an incredible view of the whole city of Barcelona

Tibidabo and Sagrat Cor

Tibidabo is a must-see point in Barcelona. At the top of this mountain you will find a small amusement park, as well as a Ferris wheel to get even more height. A beautiful church named Sagrat Cor is located at the top of the mountain. From the top of Tibidabo you can see the whole city.
