Ready for an education in local botany? Parc del Laberint d'Horta should make your list of places to visit, located 4 mi (6.4 km) from central Barcelona. Why not live the cultural experience and visit the cathedral, museums, and art galleries in the area. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Park Güell and Jardines del Principe de Girona, both nearby.
