Description

Enjoy a seamless pickup service from your hotel and a comfortable ride as your expert guide takes you on an unforgettable full-day tour filled with captivating stories through Barcelona. Every corner tells a story, and each street is a masterpiece. The tour begins by the Mediterranean Sea, following the scenic coastline to the historic Old Port. Your guide will then take you to the Gothic Drassanes and the iconic Columbus Monument at the start of Barcelona’s famous La Rambla.

Later, you will head up Montjuïc Mountain to the stunning Mirador de l'Alcalde, where panoramic views of Barcelona’s breathtaking skyline await. Once the heart of the 1992 Olympics, Montjuic still houses the impressive Olympic Stadium.

Next, you’ll marvel at Plaza España, a grand square designed for the 1929 International Exhibition and inspired by Saint Peter’s Square in the Vatican. Nearby, you’ll discover urban treasures like the Magic Fountain, the Mies Van der Rohe Pavilion, and the National Palace, all fine examples of Barcelona’s architectural diversity. The tour will continue down the mountain and venture into the Old Town, where you will leave the vehicle to fully immerse yourself in the enchanting Gothic Quarter. As you wander through its narrow streets, your guide will reveal the hidden gems and the rich Roman and Medieval history of the neighborhood.

After exploring the Old Town, your guide will lead you to l’Eixample, the first district designed to extend Barcelona beyond its ancient walls. Created in the 19th century by the visionary urban planner Ildefons Cerdà, l’Eixample is characterized by its wide boulevards, offering a refreshing contrast to the Old Town’s charmingly chaotic streets. Your adventure in l’Eixample begins at the vibrant Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona’s central hub. From there, you'll wander along Passeig de Gràcia, a boulevard renowned for its Modernist architecture. Here, you will admire the striking façades of Gaudí’s La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, along with Casa Lleó Morera and Casa Ametller, each a masterpiece of architectural design.

After an exciting morning, you'll have the chance to unwind and savor the local cuisine, including Paella and Sangria - often called “a match made in heaven.” Following your culinary adventure, your guide will take you to Barcelona’s crown jewel, La Sagrada Familia, with skip-the-line access for a seamless visit. With your guide, you’ll discover the hidden religious symbolism in its façades before stepping inside to marvel at Gaudí’s extraordinary vision, from the uniquely shaped columns to the basilica’s organic architecture.

The tour concludes with a visit to Park Güell, nestled on a hill with breathtaking views of the city. Here, you’ll witness how Gaudí blends his unique architectural style with nature, creating a fantastical landscape that will leave you captivated.
