Barcelona Full Day: Sagrada Familia, Casa Vicens & La Pedrera

The tour starts in front of Casa Vicens. This was the first project of Gaudí, when he was a young graduate! For the first time, he was able to use all his creativity to deliver a unique place inspired by Oriental motives. You will access Casa Vicens and hear a live introduction from your guide. Then you'll have some time to explore the house at your own pace

The area surrounding Casa Vicens is the neighborhood of Gràcia, a small town that used to be in the banlieue of Barcelona until the city expanded at the end of the 19th century. While you walk down its narrow streets, you will appreciate how it has kept a genuine air that makes it one of the most attractive areas in town for locals.

You will then arrive at Passeig de Gràcia, the most exclusive boulevard in the city. We could call this street Barcelona’s 5th Avenue. In the past, rich families started a competition in the area to have the most eccentric facades: that’s why we found such a rich heritage. Listen to some local anecdotes while you stroll towards the next Gaudi stop.

The guide will explain the facade, and you'll hear anecdotes, meanings and symbolism behind every detail of it

Casa Milà is the last work that Gaudí completed in his life. Looking up at this building, you'll learn some anecdotes - it is now one of the most renowned buildings in Spain, but at first everybody hated it! But now, La Pedrera (the quarry), as locals call it, is one of Barcelona's must-sees. You will get a skip-the-line ticket and an audioguide in your selected language to explore the full building at your own pace. After Casa Milà, you will have a 2-hour break for lunch. Our guide will provide some local recommendations and indications for you to find the afternoon meeting point.

The afternoon starts in front of one of Barcelona's hidden gems: Sant Pau Hospital. Not long ago, until 2005, this was a full functioning public hospital where Barcelonans could go whenever they were sick: what a nice place to recover! The Sant Pau Hospital has more than 20 modernist pavilions surrounded by gardens. Here the patients found fresh air and sunlight to overcome their diseases. Since 2015, Sant Pau doesn't have any sanitary activity and now it's a museum to appreciate the history and the architecture of this building. The guide will explain the history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site building, one of Barcelona's hidden gems
