Offered in: English

Enjoy 360° views over Barcelona and explore quieter corners of the Gothic Quarter and El Born on a walking tour with no more than 6 guests.

We’ll meet outside the Palau de la Música Catalana, then wander through historic streets, Roman remains and medieval squares. Alongside landmarks such as Barcelona Cathedral, Plaça del Rei and Plaça Sant Felip Neri, I’ll show you local places and details many visitors walk past without noticing. We’ll also see the Roman walls and the remains of the Temple of Augustus.

The tour moves at a relaxed pace, leaving time for questions, photos and recommendations tailored to your stay in Barcelona. On morning tours, the panoramic views are from the bell tower of a historic church. On afternoon tours, we’ll enjoy them from a rooftop viewpoint instead.

The morning bell tower climb is optional. Its final staircase is narrow, and guests who prefer not to climb can wait on a bench inside the church.
