Full-day Barcelona highlights tour from Costa Brava

Get right to the heart of the city on this Barcelona highlights tour, your passport to experience some of the city's most important cultural and historical gems. Your day will be brimming with awe-inspiring sights such as the Sagrada Familia basilica and the modernist architecture of Sant Pau. Olivia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The facades of Gaudí's masterpiece are well worth a closer look - nature-inspired details blend with spiritual symbolism, and each side tells a different biblical story. The Nativity Facade teems with life and detail, while the Passion Facade captivates with its dramatic, minimalist design.' Your adventure begins with an guided walk around the exterior of the Sagrada Familia basilica, a work in progress that never fails to mesmerise. As you take in the elaborate facades, you'll appreciate why this is Antoni Gaudí's most famous creation. Next, we'll whisk you off to Sant Pau, the city's hub of modernist architecture. Here, you'll discover the former medieval hospital now listed by UNESCO, offering some truly unmissable photo opportunities. Finally, free time allows you to explore more of Barcelona's vibrant streets around the harbour, and a scenic bus ride offers up fabulous vistas overlooking Plaza España and Las Arenas. This full-day guided city tour of Barcelona promises a feast for the eyes and a wealth of cultural knowledge that will leave you enriched and inspired.
