Itinerary
Barcelona's Arc de Triomf, stunning land mark built in the 1888. We begin the tour with a view of this monument that serves as the basis for the introduction of the tour. Ideal place to take the first photos.
Old Monastery built in the 945 AD. The first stop in the Born district is a church that helps us to understand the importance of religion in Medieval Barcelona.
Unesco modernist musical palace. A must stop to appreciate the exotic architecture of Barcelona's Modernism in the old town.
Local market where we can try some tapas, drinks and also use the toilet.
The most important basilica in the old town offers a wonderful story of Barcelona's perseverance and faith. We will stop here to listen to it and take some pictures.
Important monument commemorating the city where on September 11, 1714 the most tragic defeat in its history took place.
Old market now converted into a museum where you can still see the medieval city of Barcelona. Exemplary place to understand the old city and the defeat of 1714.

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).
