From there, make your way to the Pl. de Catalunya and take the half-day walking tour through l’Eixample (which you have now started in revers), Barcelona’s gridded upper neighborhood that is jam-packed with Modernist sights, including Casa Milà and La Manzana de la Discòrdia, where you can pick up the Ruta del Modernisme pass that offers discounts on sights all over the city. After pondering the chimneys of Casa Milà, catch the #24 bus from the Pg. de Gràcia up to your last Modernist stop of the day: Park Güell in Gràcia. Wander through the colonnades, park it on the longest and most crooked bench in the world, and snap a photo with the drooling lizard. At the end of the day (and the beginning of a long night), head down to one of l’Eixample’s many trendy bars and clubs.See less »
