Barcelona is a city to look at. And, depending on where it is done, all of it seems to fit in a glance, because its surface, of about 100 square kilometers, is not as large as that of many other capitals. There are many locations to discover, today we focus on the highest points of the city, which will give you the best views.

The ‘skyline’ of Barcelona is one of the most spectacular of the great European capitals. From the Mediterranean coast the most significant and characteristic constructions emerge: from the Agbar tower to Montjuïc, passing through the Sagrada Família, the Mapfre towers, the W hotel, the Columbus monument or the three chimneys of the Paral·lel, among many others.
