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

Pass by the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the finest modernist building and one of Europe's leading opera houses. Located on the Rambla, every year it hosts major opera and ballet productions and symphony concerts. 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.

With your expert guide have a look at the façade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with very limited space.

Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of 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.

Take the Montjuic funicular and get ready for the best views of Barcelona from the top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline.

Reach the Montjuic Castle with your expert guide and enjoy an exclusive visit. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city.
We invite you to an exclusive visit, not opened to the general public, where you will be able to enter the dungeons of the several political prisoners that have marked the history of the city.

Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where the city reveals itself in total splendour. By this exclusive visit, access to the Tower of the Castle, and admire 360º views over Barcelona and, if the day is bright and clear, up to the Pyrenees.

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 your guide for the best spots to visit!
