Barcelona is a vibrant and welcoming city, not only for its two-legged visitors but also for our beloved four-legged friends. With breathtaking architecture, green parks, and sunny beaches, this city offers numerous options to enjoy with your dog.
Poble Espanyol
Poble Espanyol is an open-air museum that recreates various types of Spanish architecture, with 117 buildings representing constructions from almost all regions. Located in Montjuïc, it is perfect for strolling with your dog, as long as they are leashed, and exploring streets with white houses and blue pots that evoke Andalusia.
Poble Espanyol is not only about architecture; it is also about art, tradition, and craftsmanship. Don’t miss the Fran Daurel Contemporary Art Foundation, where you can see a collection of modern and contemporary art with over 300 works by artists like Picasso, Dalí, and Miró.
Casa Batlló
One of Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces and a Barcelona icon, Casa Batlló is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and 100% dog-friendly cultural spaces in Barcelona, welcoming your four-legged friend. Enjoy a tour of this modernist building, part of the UNESCO World Heritage, and marvel at its elements inspired by the sea, nature, and fantasy.
