About This Adventure

About

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, a 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. 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 a very limited space. Continue your walking tour to discover the Raval, the most multicultural and off the beaten path district of the 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 top. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the Montjuic Cable Car and wonderful views of Barcelona’s iconic skyline. Reach the Montjuic Castle to enjoy a private visit allowed only to our small group. The Montjuic Castle has been a military fortress since its early beginning, witnessing the change of political power in the city. Along the visit, 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 Barcelona reveals itself in total splendour. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where you can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona. Take the unique chance to shoot your best pictures of Barcelona at sunset time.

Continue your tour visiting the Olimpic Barcelona. Pass by the Olympic Stadium and the Palau Sant Jordi, famous for hosting the best concerts in town. Along the way, stop at one of the best terraces in the area to savour traditional tapas paired with a local wine or beer. After your break, get ready to assist to the enchanting show of the Magic Fountain. It was constructed for the 1929 Universal Exhibition and was meant to be a temporary installation, but the visitors and the people of Barcelona loved it so much that decided to keep it. We are sure that you will get fascinated too by the colorful dancing water of the fountain that everynight creates magic in Barcelona. MAGIC FOUNTAINS SWITCHED OFF DUE TO DROUGHT PROTOCOL
