Barcelona, a City with a Heart that Pounds 24/7
Barcelona is an energetic modern city rooted in tradition and best discovered through the variety of Barcelona tours where you can sample top attractions before you explore the city on your own.

It’s so Gaudí
Colorful, eclectic, and whimsical wonders from Barcelona architect Antoni Gaudí are Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, and the Sagrada Família cathedral towering high above the city. Park Güell a playful garden complex full of rich-hued mosaics is another Gaudí masterpiece and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site visited on most Barcelona tours.

Wow Me with Monumental Wonders
Barcelona tours stop at the main highlights including the Barrio Gótico quarter with its narrow alleys revealing plazas, markets and museums as well as the Picasso Museum where works from artist Pablo Picasso are stored in Gothic mansions. Casa Amatller and Casa Lleó-Morera are modernist buildings in Barcelona’s famous Illa de la Discòrdia area that make picture-perfect camera shots.

A Day at the Park
Do like the locals and head toward the heartbeat of the city, La Rambla. The tree-lined pedestrian mall is where leisurely strolls are encouraged as you take in the sites and sounds of Barcelona. Enjoy 4.2 kilometers of golden sandy beaches along the Mediterranean Sea or the colorful water show at the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc best appreciated after sunset.

A Cornucopia of Flavor
Barcelona tours reveal enticing culinary delights during a stop at the world famous La Boqueria market. At many of city’s fine restaurants, savor local cuisine such as Crema Catalana custard or hand-picked Goose-Necked Barnacles; an odd-looking crustacean devoured by foodies.

Whether your vacation calls for days on the beach or nights in the streets, before leaving to explore Barcelona tours, ensure your visitor’s checklist includes the Barcelona Card offering free travel on public transport, discounts and savings at many city venues. It can make a real difference!
