Itinerary

1

Palau Moja

Start your tour at the famous Ramblas, the heart of the city centre.

2

Mercat de la Boqueria

Enjoy this walking tour of the Old Town and visit the famous Boqueria Market, considered one of the best markets in the world because of its modernist design and the richness of products it offers.

3

Las Ramblas

Enjoy a walk along the must-visit Las Ramblas, probably the most famous avenue of the city, home to many bars, restaurants and shops.

4

Palau Guell

At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city centre. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with a very limited space.

5

Cat, Fernando Botero

Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the Old Town, that attracts people from diverse social, cultural and geographical backgrounds. Visit the Rambla del Raval to take a picture with the enormous Cat Statue by Fernando Botero, probably the cutest statue you will ever see.

6

Montjuic Castle

The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city.

7

Parc de Montjuic

The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendour. You can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona and, if the day is bright and clear, up to the Pyrenees.

8

El Molino

Return to the Old Town by Cable Car: relax and enjoy the ride. Your tour ends in a very good area for some local tapas. Ask to your guide for the best spots to visit.
