Barcelona - Tour of Barcelona

Arrive in Barcelona and check into hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Breakfast and meeting with the guide. Beginning of the visit to discover the most important monuments of the city: Las Ramblas, Plaza Catalunya, the Boquería Market and its perfumes, and then the striking Barrio Gotico with the contrasting colors of the Palau della Musica and the majesty of the Gothic architecture of the Cathedral and Santa Maria del Mar, excellent examples of Catalan Gothic style. In the afternoon, continue the visit with the Paseo de Gracia and the famous house-works of modernist architect Antoni Gaudí: La Pedrera (Casa Milà) and Casa Battlò. We then continue with a visit to Montjuic from where you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the city and harbor. Also on Montjuic is Poble Espanyol, an open-air museum in which Spain's most emblematic buildings, in terms of style and architecture, have been reconstructed. Return to the hotel, dinner and overnight stay.

Breakfast and guided tour of Barcelona's most iconic monument: the Sagrada Família. Gaudi's masterpiece is not just a church; it is a real temple, as its full name, Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, suggests. Its construction began in 1882 and is still going on, thanks to donations from the faithful. The tour continues with a visit to the Parque Güell, a green area in which everything, including buildings, is a tribute to nature: very well known are the stained-glass mosaic ceramics with which many statues and fountains in the park are made.
In the afternoon, free time at leisure. Return to hotel, dinner and overnight stay.

Breakfast and departure with your guide to Colonia Güell, a village suspended in time and located about 23 km from Barcelona. This village, also known as Santa Coloma de Cervelló, was founded in 1890 by wealthy industrialist Eusebi Güell. Here it will be possible to visit Gaudí's Crypt, one of the Catalan architect's hidden treasures and one of his unfinished works.
