We are sure you will be impressed. From Midtown Luxury Apartments we recommend that you do not miss the opportunity to see these wonderful buildings.
What is the route of modernism?
Barcelona's modernist route is a tour of the capital where you can discover the best works by Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch. In it, you will be able to enjoy incredible palaces, surprising houses, the temple symbol of the city, an immense hospital, pharmacies, shops and more than 120 different works that show how modernism took root with force in this city.
To make this route is recommended to buy the guide ‘Ruta del Modernismo de Barcelona’ which includes more than 100 buildings and points of interest as well as a year's worth of discounts on admission to all of Barcelona's modernist monuments and special offers for other Catalan modernist routes.
