Must go! With the tickets, no need to queue very long. Can easily spend 2-3 hrs there! In mid-October, the sunset is late, getting in around 5pm, we can enjoy fully the light changes inside.

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.

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.

The Palace of Music itself is a work of art and well worth a visit. The flamenco dance performances in the evenings are also very special and highly professional, with unique lighting that creates an immersive and atmospheric experience.
