Itinerary
In the first part of the visit, we will enjoy a walking tour through El Born and the Gothic Quarter. We will have the opportunity to stroll along one of Barcelona’s most important streets and see landmarks such as the Arc de Triomf, the Barcelona Cathedral, and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. We will marvel as we discover the multitude of details on the façades of the buildings we encounter along the way. We will walk through the narrow streets of the city’s old town and uncover the secrets it hides.
At the end of the walking tour, we will board a climate-controlled bus for a panoramic tour of Barcelona. We will make several stops at Montjuïc Hill, which was the Olympic area during the 1992 Olympic Games. The first stop will allow us to access the Montjuïc Cable Car, offering breathtaking views of Barcelona.
It will then be time to return to the office, passing along Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona’s most important streets, home to two of Antoni Gaudí’s most famous works: La Pedrera and Casa Batlló.

About Barcelona
Barcelona sets Gaudí's fantastical buildings and a medieval Gothic Quarter between Mediterranean beaches and green hills, with food and nightlife to match.
Antoni Gaudí's work defines the city's image. The Sagrada Família rises over the Eixample, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà line the elegant Passeig de Gràcia, and Park Güell's mosaic terraces look out over the rooftops. The Gothic Quarter keeps its cathedral, narrow lanes and hidden squares, and El Born adds the Picasso Museum and the soaring church of Santa Maria del Mar.
Top-ranked sights in Barcelona: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
