guided walk around Barcelona’s old town 

small-group tours accompanied by qualified guide 

historic quarter with bars and restaurants

What to expect

Narrow side streets, hidden courtyards as well as majestic city palaces and open squares along with a dazzling array of bars and restaurants make up the charming atmosphere of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. So come with us on a walk through the old town, discover a vital part of the city’s history and follow your guide through the quarter’s labyrinthine alleys into the heart of Barcelona.

Together with the quarters Raval and Barceloneta, el Barrio Gótico makes up the old town of Barcelona, whose many historic buildings stem from the 14th and 15th century, the city’s heyday as a naval power. However, its origins go all the way back to Roman times under emperor Augustus. In the centre at Plaça Sant Jaume, where today Barcelona’s town hall and the Catalan government building stand proudly vis-à-vis, the Roman Forum once had its place and the quarter’s Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia was built on the remains of a Roman temple. Starting in the late 19th century, the Gothic quarter underwent massive restoration works and, just in time for the 1929 International Exhibition, regained its original splendour, which still attracts tourists and locals today.

What to Expect
Barcelona’s skyline is unthinkable without its outstanding landmark, the Sagrada Família, just like a stay in the city is unthinkable without a visit to Gaudí’s most extraordinary masterpiece.

Construction of the architect’s very individualistic interpretation of a gothic church started in 1882 and is famous for its unusually long time of construction but, even more so, for its unparalleled design. 135 years after laying the first stone still unfinished, it impresses the visitor with its originality and wealth of form and detail, in which Gaudi harmoniously combined Christian iconography and naturalistic elements. The Nativity Facade, the first to be finished in 1930 and declared World Heritage in 2005, depicts the birth of Jesus and is richly decorated with scenes from nature. The 75 metre high columns in the basilica rise to the ceiling and branch out, resembling trees, and walking down the light-flooded central nave of the basilica evokes the sensation of strolling through a forest.

Although incomplete, the Sagrada Família is without a doubt Barcelona’s most popular tourist attraction and receives millions of visitors each year. In order to ensure a pleasant visit for everyone, the monument assigns timeslots, which should be reserved in advance. Your admission also includes a visit to the adjoining school and the museum. Gaudí’s former workshop, which has been turned into a visitor centre, documents the construction of the Sagrada Família with models, drawings and photographs on display.

Learn more about Barcelona’s famous architect and his designs in the interpretation centre 'Espai Gaudí'.

Visit the Pedrera Apartments, the Inner Courtyards and the Exhibition Room.

Step into the 'Garden of Warriors', Casa Milà’s exceptional rooftop-terrace.

What to expect:

Built between 1906 and 1912, Casa Milà is a favourite with tourists from all over the world, owing to its eye-catching, irregular facade, which has earned the building its nickname ‘La Pedrera’ (The Quarry). 

Gaudí’s design of the house, though controversial at the time of construction, is nowadays considered one of the most extraordinary examples of Catalan modernist architecture and was declared part of the UNESCO World Heritage in 1984. But not only Casa Milà’s facade has turned the building into a cultural icon. Its interior is just as astonishing and impresses the visitor with a unique combination of structures, forms and colours, inspired by Gaudí’s great passion for nature.

Many decorative elements, however, also fulfil a practical function, an idea essential to modernist architecture. Casa Milà’s breathtaking rooftop-terrace is the best example for this functional approach, as ventilation towers and chimneys were given the artistic form of warriors. 

The tour through the building includes the Pedrera Apartments, where an audiovisual presentation recreates the life in Casa Milà at the beginning of the twentieth century. It includes the temporary exhibition as well as the Gaudí interpretation centre with models, photographs and videos. Don’t miss any details and learn more about Gaudí’s life and work with the included audio-guide.

Tour through the Art Nouveau building, including the interpretation centre 'Espai Gaudí' about the architect’s life and work with designs, models and audiovisual presentations

Access to the Inner Courtyards and the Exhibition Room on the main floor of the former Milà Residence

Visit to the Pedrera Apartments with a combination of audiovisual presentation and original elements, like period furniture, works of art and household accessories 

Admittance to the exceptional roof-terrace, also called 'the garden of warriors', with ventilation towers and chimneys turned into sculptures

What to Expect
Casa Milà certainly stands out from the surrounding buildings on prestigious Passeig de Gràcia. Nothing less than revolutionary at the time of its construction, the building didn’t only have admirers and its crude, white facade inspired the inhabitants of Barcelona to its still popular nickname La Pedrera (The Quarry).

Constructed between 1906 and 1912, Antoni Gaudí designed the building as one continuous curve, refusing any straight lines. Its rounded interior walls are decorated with mural paintings of flowers and plants, naturalistic elements, which can be found throughout the house in its wrought ironwork, sculpted stone columns and even in its woodwork and furniture. The design of Casa Milà made use of innovative concepts, such as a self-supporting facade, a basement garage and the stunning roof-terrace. One of the most remarkable features of the building, the roof exemplifies the modernist idea of combining functionality and aesthetics, and skylights, staircase exits, ventilation towers, and chimneys are sculpted into artistic forms.

But what was controversial at the time is now one of Gaudí’s most famous works and top exponent of Catalan Modernism. Recognised in 1984 by the UNESCO as World Heritage, Casa Milà attracts thousands of visitors every year. With your skip the line ticket you’ll avoid these queues and get access to the main floor, courtyards and the spectacular roof-terrace. Learn more about Gaudí’s life and work in the interpretation centre and through the included audio guide.

Enjoy the 19th century city palace on an informative audio tour. 

What to Expect

Take a tour through the majestic city palace Güell, which doesn’t only represent the lifestyle of a family but also captures the atmosphere of turn-of-the-century Barcelona. Built between 1886 and 1890, Palau Güell was constructed in a time when the city was rapidly growing, bringing great social as well as cultural and urban changes about. This transformation of Barcelona into a modern city is reflected in Gaudís architecture, which breaks with old conventions and looks for new forms of expressing itself.

Commissioned by Eusebi Güell, a Catalan industrialist and Gaudí‘s long-term patron, the city palace was designed to meet the family’s daily needs as well as fullfill their demands as host of Barcelona’s high society. Gaudí gave major structural elements an equally important decorative function and combined classical elements with ideas of the upcoming modernism. Innovative in its use of light and space, was the design of the house inspired by the Mudéjar style of architecture of southern Spain and impresses the visitor with its richly decorated walls and ceilings and use of valuable materials like marble, alabaster and stained glass windows. 

Owing to its exceptional architectural value, Palau Güell was declared part of the UNESCO world heritage in 1984 and receives today thousands of visitors. A tour through the palace takes you on an informative audio tour from the basement to the stately main floor and the roof-top terrace with its fancyful chimneys and ventilation towers, which already offer a glimpse of Gaudí’s future works.
