FIRST-CLASS | TAILOR-MADE: From the whimsical delights of Gaudi’s imagination to the classical beauty of the city’s Gothic quarter, discover the unique culture of Catalonia in Spain’s most enchanting and imaginative city. Then, combine gourmet food and Catalan culture and visit famous tapas bars and La Boqueria market.
This 4-day stay in Barcelona invites you to experience the beauty, romance, and whimsy of Catalonia’s great capital.
Enjoy a full day touring the city with a small group, starting at Montjuic Hill, site of both the 1992 Olympics and the Catalunya National Art Museum. No visit to Barcelona would be complete of course without visiting Sagrada Familia. Gaudi’s swirling monument to God is still yet to be completed, but nonetheless looks and feels like a gateway to another world. Visions of Gaudi’s genius also line Passeig de Gracia, home to the undulating La Padrera, and colourful Casa Batllo.
The Gothic Quarter offers a very different side of Barcelona, but one that’s no less memorable. Take a short guided walk filled with Roman history and stunning architecture, before you dive into the fashionable Born district – the ideal spot for a tapas lunch. Afterwards, head to Park Guell, Barcelona’s favourite urban playground where Gaudi’s imagination comes to life in the form of giant mosaic lizards, gingerbread houses, and other flights of fantastical, yet functional fancy. Your tour ends by returning to La Padrera for a ‘skip the line’ tour.
Your second full day in Barcelona is far more relaxed, with a three hour tapas tour inviting you to try the unique flavours of Catalonia, plus visit local markets like iconic La Boqueria, where you can learn about fresh ingredients and local wine.
