Beaches & parks
Park Güell
Gaudí's hillside park with mosaic terraces and views over the city. The monumental area needs a timed ticket; it is a 25–30 minute taxi from the port.
Boat & day trips
Montserrat monastery
A mountain monastery set among dramatic rock pinnacles, reached by train from Plaça d'Espanya and then a rack railway or cable car. Only for long port days; trains are roughly hourly, so leave a generous margin for the way back.
