How many days do you need in Barcelona?
5 days is the right length for a first trip to Barcelona. That leaves time for the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gothic Quarter, plus a slow afternoon on the beach. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Montserrat or Girona.
