GAUDÍ TOUR
Gaudí was a visionary architect working during Barcelona’s Modernista (Art Nouveau) period at the beginning of the 20th century. Most of his extraordinary buildings are in Barcelona, with seven listed as World Heritage sites by UNESCO.
This tour will show you some of his extraordinary buildings and teach you about the detail, symbols, structural secrets and innovation. It will finish at the famous Sagrada Família, an extraordinary church which has been funded entirely by private donations. The building has become part of Barcelona’s identity and is visited by millions of people every year.
BARÇA TOUR
This tour begins in Montjuïc to visit the ’92 Olympic Ring and the story of how these impressive sports facilities transformed the city. The next stop is the FC Barcelona Stadium at Camp Nou. It’s the biggest stadium in Europe with a capacity of 98,787. The tour includes visits to changing rooms, the bench, the chapel and the press boxes. Last on the itinerary is a visit to the football museum - the most visited museum in Catalunya - with over 100 years of trophies, photos, videos, and the Pablo Ornaque collection of football curiosities and antiques.
MONTSERRAT TOUR
Visit the Benedictin monastery perched halfway up the Montserrat mountain. After a spectacular drive along the Llobregat River, you’ll be driven 2,300 feet up where you can visit the monastery, basilica, museum, Stations of the Cross, as well as bars, restaurants and shops. The museum has paintings by El Greco, Picasso and Dalí among others, as well as treasures from ancient Egypt. There are also paths, stairs, caves, chapels and hermitages scattered over the mountain, which has extraordinary landscapes and wonderful views.
