How to plunge into the fairy-tale world of Park Güell in Barcelona
In this unusual park created by geniuses of architecture you feel like in the fairy tale of the brothers Grim. Everything here is made of forgiving materials, sometimes even waste and broken glass, but turned into masterpieces.

How to do?

1. Go to the area of ​​Gracia, near the center of Barcelona.
2. It is best to start your walk from Olot Street. Two gingerbread houses will meet you right at the entrance - here is the house of the gatekeeper and the administration.
3. Next, go up the unusual staircase directly to the mosaic sculpture of the lizard. This sculpture is considered to be a symbol of Barcelona.

5. Then go up to the terrace at the top of the temple with an excellent viewing platform and an unusual bench of Gaudi, which repeats the bends of the human body.
6. Following the temple in all directions, narrow paths run up that will lead you through the wonderful flora and fauna of the park.
7. Don't loose yourself in this fairytale.
