Description

Discover the history of Barcelona by walking around the oldest neighborhood of the city: the Gothic Quarter.

From here, you will walk down one of the most beautiful and famous avenues of the city, the Ramblas, and as you stroll this street, the guide will tell you how the city was founded by Emperor Augustus. Then you will arrive at the old port of the city, where you can see the remains of the old city wall as you walk through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter, before arriving at Nova Square. Here, in the center of the Gothic Quarter, you'll be able to admire the Cathedral of Gothic style. 

As you walk around Barcelona, your guide will be telling important facts about figures in the history of the city, such as St. Roque or Wilfredo the Hairy, and you will also discover how the current design of Catalonia's flag was developed. Next, walk around Plaza del Rei and Plaza del Pi, until you reach Plaza de Sant Jaume, the current administrative and political center of the city. Finally, see the town hall, and the Palau de la Generalitat. 

At the end of the tour, you have the option to go to a local bar to taste typical local tapas. Take the opportunity to chat with your guide, and ask for recommendations for the rest of your time in Barcelona.
