Park Güell - forget about the city noise!

The park area contains amazing architectural structure that fit one-to-one the beautiful natural surroundings. This masterpiece of Gaudí also belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage and is the perfect location for having a pleasant walk and a relaxing stay far away from busy city life. The highlight of the Güell park is the huge terrace area that offers amazing views of the park and of Barcelona. The mosaic designed seats glimmer in the sun and invite you to linger on the sunny terrace. Don´t forget to take a photo of the little dragon that can be found on every postal card of Barcelona. If you are staying at Barcelona hotels in Gracia, you are in the right district to discover the charm of the Park Güell. The green metro line (L3) will bring you the park. Just get off at the stations "Lesseps" or "Vallcarca" and follow the street signposts up to the park. You can visit the park daily from 10 am to 7 pm. Go there with your family whenever you want and enjoy the views on the city and a nice picnic on the grounds. The Barcelona apartment Sors Parc Guell is perfect for families and groups of friends searching for accommodation in Barcelona in a more tranquil area. You might also consider the Barcelona apartment Town House Horta Park Güell in the outskirts of Barcelona. On the weekends, a lot of artists and musicians are performing in the park.
