Offered in: English and 1 more

Barcelona looks different from above, and this small-group tour shows you both sides of the city: the lively streets of the Old Town and the wide views from Montjuïc.

Set off along La Rambla with your guide, stopping at La Boqueria market and the façade of Gaudí’s Palau Güell, then cross into the Raval, the old town’s most multicultural neighbourhood, to meet Botero’s famous cat.

Ride the funicular and cable car up to Montjuïc Castle, a fortress that has watched over the city for centuries, and hear its story from the Spanish Civil War to today. From the top, enjoy 360º views of the port and the city, reaching the Pyrenees on clear days, before heading back down to Poble-sec, one of the best areas in town for tapas.

- Small-group walk through the Old Town and the Raval
- Funicular and cable car rides, both ways
- Guided visit to Montjuïc Castle
- See La Boqueria, Palau Güell and Botero’s cat
