Barcelona with a baby or toddler (0-2)
With a baby or toddler, stay on the flat side of the city. The aquarium, the zoo and Parc de la Ciutadella are close together and easy with a stroller. Leave the Gaudí interiors for another trip, or take a carrier, because Casa Batlló stores strollers at the door and Park Güell is steep.
