| Cheap Barcelona La Sagrada Familia-Editor’s Choice Gaudi’s masterpiece and the main attraction of the city, this work in progress looks like nothing else. Majestic spires rise above facades like something out of an alien landscape. You can appreciate this work of art from outside, but if you buy a ticket, which supports the construction, you can climb the towers for a view of the city. La Pedrera Another of Gaudi’s elegantly curving designs, this apartment building is one of the city’s most famous sites. You can enjoy the exterior for free, but to truly appreciate it, buy a ticket to see the rooftop terrace, a modernist landscape of curving stairways and oversized, strangely reimagined chess pieces. If you’re in Barcelona in the summer, come here on a Friday or Saturday night and put up 10 euros for a rooftop evening of live music, and a free glass of cava, Spanish champagne. Close by, along Passeig de Gracia, you’ll find more modernista pieces--Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. Montjuic Visit the site of the 1992 Olympic Games and the 1929 World Fair on this hill overlooking the city, offering some impressive parks and museums, and some amazing views. Explore Montjuic Castle and the Olympic Stadium, Joan Miro park or the enormous Magic Fountain, where a musical light show takes place every summer evening. Although some museums and attractions on Montjuic aren’t free, the sights and enormous plazas will offer hours of enjoyment. What's your favorite cheap thing to do in Barcelona?
