França is the second busiest railway station in the city, but it’s regarded as the most beautiful. When the lobby of the station was redesigned in the 1920s, architects incorporated the classical noucentista style and added marble, bronze, and crystal decor, as well as a curved glass and metal canopy that stretches over the station’s 12 tracks.
Visit the station on an architecture-focused walking tour that stops at França as well as spots like the Gothic Quarter and cast-iron marketplace in El Born. You can also take a tour to sights that have been important in the history of the Catalan independence movement. Alternatively, opt for an organized treasure hunt, which will take you to sights around the city (including the train station).
