North of Gràcia is where you'll find the strange, enchanting land of Park Güell. Way back in 1900, Count Eusebi Güell (hence the park's name) hired renowned architect Antoni Gaudí to design a miniature city of houses for the elite. While Gaudí's artistic work was enthralling — to say the least — this project turned out to be a commercial flop and was abandoned in 1914. Fortunately, the city foresaw what a masterpiece this village was and purchased it in 1922, transforming it into a park.
From the quaint Hansel-and-Gretel vibes to the multicolored mosaic tiles, this park is one you must experience in person, not to mention the terraced area at the top offers breathtaking views of both the park and city.
