Begin your journey in the Plaça Sant Miquel as you hear about human towers 10 stories tall. We'll continue to other historic squares with Roman roots, admire a stunning cathedral, and snap photos of public art. Your journey continues into the El Born neighborhood, home to the stunning Palau de la Musica, a modernist masterpiece that captivates with its ornate design. At each turn, your guide shares stories and points out details you might otherwise miss.
