For this private walking tour your guide will meet you at the arrival point of the shuttle which serves the cruise port (The Cruise Bus shuttle makes the journey between the various terminals of the port and the beginning of the Ramblas, near the statue of Christopher Columbus, every 10 minutes).
The tour will start with the famous
Ramblas
, the well-known Barcelona promenade, and the
Gothic Quarter
. The Gothic Quarter is Barcelona’s historic centre: its history takes you from Barcelona`s foundation, to its medieval past as an important commercial port of the Mediterranean, up to a more current time with still visible remains from the civil war.
Then you will go to
Paseo de Gracia
avenue, the most exclusive avenue in Barcelona, discovering the achievements of the greatest modernist architects, including the
casa Batlló
and the
Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
by
Gaudí
, as well as other lesser-known but equally surprising modernist buildings.
At lunchtime, your guide will take you to the restaurant of your choice (we normally offer
tapas restaurants
to eat quickly). We can show you different quality restaurants at moderate prices, outside of tourist circuits.
After lunch you will visit the
Sagrada Familia
, an unfinished cathedral, is Gaudi's last work before his accidental death. This cathedral impressive for its size and design is a unique work of art that will take your breath away.
Visit of the exterior, the interior and the museum.
Your guide will then take you back to the departure point of the port shuttle around 4:30 pm (most of the cruise companies want you back onboard before 5 pm).
