beautiful views but there’s no maps around the garden so easy to get lost since it’s so big. would’ve also liked a guide or description of the plants to learn from.

Most European attractions require advance booking, but buying tickets online is very convenient, which is great for someone like me who decides to visit on a whim while on a business trip.
As for the Sagrada Familia, it's fine if you see it as a work of art by Gaudí, but as a church, it feels a bit ostentatious.
In short, it's a landmark building, and you definitely shouldn't go in to see it, but if you've seen the Sagrada Familia in Cologne, Florence, and the Vatican, this one is just so-so.

Casa Batlló is absolutely stunning! Gaudi's design is full of whimsy and imagination, with exquisite and unique architectural details, making you feel like you've stepped into a fairytale world. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance to fully appreciate every corner; it's also incredibly photogenic and definitely worth a visit!

It's best to go for photos when the sun is shining. They offer free audio guides with headphones, which is very convenient. They even have Chinese-language audio guides available. You can see the Sagrada Familia from the rooftop. Pretty good.

Tossa is really a very suitable town for vacation. The water is super clear. There are restaurants and hotels along the coastline, and there are many choices.
It is a summer resort. October is their last busy month. Some restaurants and hotels have closed down. Although the outdoor temperature is still over 20 degrees, the water feels super cold when you go in.
The stone town at the end of the beach is the best viewing platform in the town. It is not too tiring to climb up, and there is no extra charge. The view and scenery are good.

A hidden gem in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. This museum offers an exceptional exhibition from beginning to end and is truly a must-see. While Picasso's masterpieces are the main attraction, the temporary and featured exhibitions are equally impressive. The museum is beautifully curated, and the admission fee is very reasonable, making it one of the best cultural experiences I have ever had.
