Park Güell is one of Barcelona’s most iconic landmarks and a masterpiece of Antoni Gaudí’s creative vision. Perched on a hill in the Gràcia district, this enchanting park offers sweeping views of the city alongside whimsical architectural designs. Originally conceived as a residential project, the park is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and showcases Gaudí's signature style, with colourful mosaics, curving structures, and imaginative sculptures. From the famous lizard at the entrance to the serpentine bench of the Terrace, every corner of Park Güell is a testament to Gaudí’s ingenuity and a must-visit for any traveller.

STRAAT Museum redefines the gallery experience inside a spacious warehouse at Amsterdam’s NDSM wharf, reachable via a free ferry from Centraal Station. Inside, over 180 monumental works by 170 global artists (including Eduardo Kobra’s towering Anne Frank mural) were created on-site, preserving the spontaneity of outdoor graffiti. The raw, industrial space lets you watch artists at work during rotating exhibitions. Unlike traditional museums, STRAAT embraces street art’s rebellious roots: massive stencils by Banksy-esque provocateurs share space with hidden tags. The café serves gluten-free treats, and the gift store stocks affordable prints. Post-visit, explore NDSM’s open-air murals that blur the line between museum and street art.
