Make the most of your day in Barcelona with this beautifully crafted full-day private tour – inclusive of all transport and skip-the-line tickets to several iconic and UNESCO World Heritage venues. Your chauffeur will pick you up at the port and drop you off in the Gothic Quarter where you will meet your guide. Your day begins with a walking tour of the charming Gothic Quarter – a maze of cobbled medieval streets lined with trendy bars, busking musicians, artisanal leather and jewelry boutiques, flower stalls, and street food vendors. You’ll see the Roman ruins of the Temple of Augustus and also visit the magnificent Gothic Cathedral. Take the elevator up to the terrace for incredible views of the Gothic Quarter; go down to the crypt and explore the cathedral’s cloister, where 13 geese live among the palm trees.
Taxi to your next stop: the former Hospital de Sant Pau, now a UNESCO World Heritage site and singularly unique example of modernist Catalan architecture. One of the largest art nouveau structures in the world, this complex spans dozens of rooms, halls, and courtyards and originally functioned as a hospital. Constructed between 1901 and 1930, the building remained an active hospital until 2009, when a new hospital was built. Restored and reopened in 2014, the Hospital de Sant Pau is now a must-see stop on any Barcelona visit.
After exploring Sant Pau, your guide will offer some recommendations for lunch (cost not included), before taking you into your second UNESCO-listed site of the day: the Sagrada Familia, the most famous (unfinished) basilica designed by Barcelona’s beloved architect Antonio Gaudi. As your senses try to absorb all the colors and sculptures, your guide will tell you the many stories of this special place, and take you to Gaudi’s tomb in the church’s crypt.
After taking in all the Sagrada Familia’s wonders, you’ll be able to relax as you’re chauffeured back to the port.
