Barcelona is full of photogenic corners that blend history, architecture, and breathtaking views. However, we all know the struggle of finding the perfect spot—whether it's to enjoy the city or snap the ultimate photo or video for social media. If you're looking for the best places to take photos in Barcelona, here’s a must-visit list:

1. The Cactus Garden at Mossèn Costa i Llobera

Located in Montjuïc, this garden is home to one of the largest collections of cacti and succulents in Europe. Its exotic landscape, paired with sea views, makes it an ideal place for unique photos. Mossèn Costa i Llobera also offers a stunning panoramic view of Barcelona’s coastline and port, allowing you to capture the city’s beauty in a single shot.

 

2. Palau de la Música Catalana

This breathtaking modernist concert hall is an architectural masterpiece. Its colorful interior, featuring a magnificent skylight and intricate mosaics, provides a perfect setting for elegant captures. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this palace was designed by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner in 1908.

 

3. The Rooftop of Palau Güell

One of Gaudí’s lesser-known works, this rooftop adds a touch of fantasy to your photos. It offers stunning views and features chimneys transformed into beautiful sculptures made of exposed brick, trencadís mosaics, marble, glass, ceramic, and stone. It’s the perfect spot for surreal and modernist-inspired photography.

 

4. Carrer del Bisbe

Located in the Gothic Quarter, this street is famous for its neo-Gothic bridge, the Pont del Bisbe. It’s one of the most photographed places in Barcelona and an ideal location to capture the city’s medieval essence. Built in 1928 by Joan Rubió i Bellver, the bridge spans Bisbe Street, which was once the main artery of Roman-era Barcelona.

 

5. Casa Padua

A hidden gem in the city, this modernist house stands out with its colorful façade and nostalgic charm. Its vintage appeal makes it a unique photography spot. Located near Lesseps, it was built in 1903 by architect Jeroni Granell i Manresa. Originally constructed for the Catalan bourgeoisie, the house remained unused for several years until its restoration in 1992, resulting in a perfect fusion of modernist and contemporary influences.
