Your Itinerary

Basilica de la Sagrada Familia

The famous work in progress from Antoni Gaudi and one of Barcelona's iconic landmarks. We will discuss it from the outside and if you have booked at ticket in advance (as we will discuss well in advance of your trip) then you can go inside for a visit (visits are approx. 1-3 hours).

Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)

Take a journey through Barcelona's multiple layers of history learning about the Roman and medieval histories, cultural legends and traditions, and see how it fits in with the modern elements of present day. Depending on our determined itinerary, we can breeze through a few of the main sites in the Gothic quarter, or we can do an exclusive tour seeing all of the main points. Duration can range from 45 minutes to 3 hours. All points are without entry fee.

Barcelona Cathedral

This is part of the Gothic quarter. We will definitely stop in front of it, don't you worry! We will not go inside during the tour.

Las Ramblas

This is also part of the Gothic quarter. Just marking so that you know we will be seeing and discussing it ;-)

Port Vell Barcelone

Port of Barcelona. We can have a beautiful stroll along Barcelona's port which is one the most important elements of Barcelona's many "cities"

Parc de la Ciutadella

The famous park in the center of Barcelona. We can have a stroll through the park and visit some of its famous landmarks inside such as the fountain, mamouth, and the Parlament. Learn about the origins of the park and its place in Barcelona's history.

Arc de Triomf

Barcelona has its own Arc de Triumph. Learn about why it was constructed and what it stands for.

Placa d'Espanya

See the famous plaza with many beautiful landmarks surrounding it. You will learn about the history of the various points and depending on the itinerary we will go to visit some of them up close.

Parc de Montjuic

Jump into nature without leaving the city! The famous hill at the side of the city hosts various famous landmarks such as the Castle of Montjuic, the Olympic stadium, and the Palace as well as many hidden gems. We can arrange an itinerary to view the top important spots or to explore it in further detail. Due to the distance from the rest of things, Montjuic usually takes up a bit of time from the day, so the "duration" could range from 1 hour to 4 hours if you want to walk around by foot to various points.
