MUSEU DEL PERFUM Museum

Offline map Google map ( 93 216 01 21; www.museudelperfum.com; Passeig de Gràcia 39; adult/student & senior €5/3; 10.30am-1.30pm & 4.30-8pm Mon-Fri, 11am-2pm Sat; Passeig de Gràcia) Housed in the back of the Regia (Click here) perfume store, this museum contains everything from ancient Egyptian and Roman (the latter mostly from the 1st to 3rd centuries AD) scent receptacles to classic eau-de-cologne bottles – all in all, some 5000 bottles of infinite shapes, sizes and histories.

MUSEU DEL MODERNISME CATALÀ Museum

( 93 272 28 96; www.mmcat.cat; Carrer de Balmes 48; adult/child under 5yr/child 5-16yr/student €10/free/5/7; 10am-8pm Mon-Sat, to 3pm Sun; Passeig de Gràcia) Housed in a Modernista building, the ground floor seems like a big Modernista furniture showroom. Several items by Antoni Gaudí, including chairs from Casa Batlló and a mirror from Casa Calvet, are supplemented by a host of items by his lesser-known contemporaries, including some typically whimsical, mock medieval pieces by Puig i Cadafalch.

The basement, showing off Modernista traits like mosaic-coated pillars, bare brick vaults and metal columns, is lined with Modernista art, including paintings by Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol, and statues by Josep Llimona and Eusebi Arnau.

UNIVERSITAT DE BARCELONA Architecture

( 93 402 11 00; www.ub.edu; Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 585; 9am-9pm Mon-Fri; Universitat) Although a university was first set up on what is now La Rambla in the 16th century, the present, glorious mix of (neo) Romanesque, Gothic, Islamic and Mudéjar architecture is a caprice of the 19th century (built 1863–82). Wander into the main hall, up the grand staircase and around the various leafy cloister, or take a stroll in the rear gardens. On the 1st floor, the main hall for big occasions is the Mudéjar-style Paranimfo.
