In this breathtakingly beautiful Barcelona time-lapse video, Shanghai-based filmmaker Rob Whitworth gives the city a completely different look that feels a little surreal and a whole lot animated.

Whitworth walked around the city to film its stunning sights and you can really sense his love for the city shine through in the Barcelona time-lapse video. Showcasing everything from the Sagrada Familia to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya and the Palau de la Música Catalana, the [Barcelona GO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colombo-and-serboli-architecture-1)! video is pulsating with energy and a vibrant soundtrack that accompanies you as you take an exhilarating tour through Spain’s second-largest city, which is known for its architecture, culture and arts scene.

"In few other cities is it possible to walk from spectacular location to spectacular location. I had a fantastic time adventuring around Barcelona's winding streets making this film," says Whitwoth.
