Itinerary

Parc de Montjuic

The beach is surrounded by the latest architecture, best represented by the World Trade Centre and the transformed Old Port. Maintaining its authentic charisma, Port Vell is now full of restaurants, nightclubs and fantastic shops.

L'Eixample District
To continue the tour we will drive you through the Eixample district, designed by Ildefons Cerdà after 1895 , to expand the city. (The word “Eixample” actually means “expansion” in Catalan). Passing by the streets of this elegant neighborhood, you will note that Cerdà’s concept of urban planning was revolutionary and utopian.
5
Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
Our guide will than take you to the breathtaking Sagrada Familia. Get inspired by Gaudi's masterpiece, considered as the most emblematic landmark of Barcelona. There are no words to describe the feeling one gets when entering this magnificent temple of Modernism. The organic shapes found throughout its structure, the light filtering through its stained glass windows and the symbolic nature of the building’s sculpted façade will probably be the highlight of this tour.
6
Passeig de Gracia
In this tour you will also get the opportunity to pass through the luxurious avenue of Passeig de Gracia, with its typical Catalan architecture. The avenue is home to the most remarkable façades of modernist buildings, including Gaudi’s La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and Domènech's Casa Lleó - Morera or Casa Ametller.
7
Abadia De Montserrat
You will visit the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat which enjoys a stunning location, surrounded by a scenic natural landscape before we wander in the monastery surroundings. Enjoy the unparalleled views offered by this region, which was declared as a Natural Park in 1987. We will also discover the Holy Cave where the virgin, represented by the Romanesque statue of the “Black Madonna”, is said to have appeared.
