Book a 2-hour tour to see the best selected highlights of Barcelona’s Old Town. Your Private Guide will meet you in the Eixample district, known for its characteristic strict grid street plan. Here, you will see the city’s most prominent landmark, the spectacular La Sagrada Familia Basilica by Antoni Gaudi. Another place of interest will be the art nouveau La Monumental, which used to host the infamous bullfighting events that the Spanish culture is known for. You will pass Arco de Triunfo and enter the Gothic Quarter, which is the oldest part of the city. Explore its narrow, winding streets and listen to Barcelona’s history and legends. The tour will end in front of the ornate Palau de la Música Catalana, the best place to discover Catalan music.

Book a 3-hour tour to see more of Barcelona! On this extended tour you will discover the heart of the Gothic Quarter with the imposing Gothic Cathedral of Barcelona and discover the ruins of an ancient Roman city with its walls, gates and towers. With your Private Guide, you will not miss any of its hidden gems, such as Bishop’s Bridge, Sant Felip Neri Square and Plaça de Sant Jaume with the town hall and Palau de la Generalitat.

Book a 4-hour tour to enrich your experience with a visit to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. Skip-the-line tickets are included to avoid wasting time standing in line at the ticket office. This 14th-century Catalan Gothic church is rich in history and art. It will surprise you with its purity and unity of style unusual for such a large medieval building. The guide will explain why Santa Maria del Mar is known locally as the “church of the poor” and tell you the legend of Santa Maria by the Sea. You will explore the basilica’s 3 naves, crypt, stands and roof terraces that offer amazing views of the Old Town!

The 1880s Basilica of La Sagrada Familia is still under construction, partly due to the delays caused by the Spanish Civil War, however its magnificent Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau form is still absolutely heart-striking. Antoni Gaudi’s phenomenal design will astonish you with the richness and intricacy inspired by nature and enhanced with the vibrant light that streams through the stained glass panels. It’s a must-see in Barcelona!
