Your tour begins in Plaça de Catalunya, an ornate square in the center of the Catalan capital. From here, you’ll stroll through the Gothic quarter — replete with shadow-shrouded alleys and medieval architecture — and listen to a vivid retelling of Barcelona’s historic heyday.
Stop at Cathedral Avenue for your first glimpse of La Sagrada Familia’s magnificent façade, Barcelona Cathedral, and then cross the Jewish Quarter to Plaça Sant Jaume. Here, you’ll admire City Hall and the Church of Santa Maria del Mar before heading to the Parc de Montjuic for panoramic vistas of the city.
Then, descend the hill to head inside one of the world’s most famous modernist masterpieces, the Basilica de Sagrada Familia. Receive a detailed historical overview of the monument from your guide, learning about the legendary architect, Antoni Gaudi, and then head inside to explore further.
Spend as much time as you like inside the church — generally, one hour is recommended — and admire the magnificent interior architecture.
