Private Tour of Old Town, Montjuic Castle and Magic Fountain

Step into La Boqueria, the city’s legendary market under its iron and stained-glass entrance, where locals shop for seafood, fruit and Catalan specialities.

10 min

Admire the façade of Palau Güell, the mansion a young Gaudí designed for his patron Eusebi Güell, with its parabolic arches and wrought-iron gates.

10 min

At the beginning of the century, the high class of Barcelona wanted to live in the city center. The most remarkable example of this desire is the Palau Guell, the house of the same Guell family that founded the construction of the Park Guell and the major patron of Gaudi’s work. Have a look at the facade of this private house, where a young Gaudi shows already all his talent to master the light and create beautiful shapes even with very limited space.

10 min

Cross into the Raval, the old town’s most multicultural neighbourhood, and meet Botero’s giant bronze cat on the Rambla del Raval, one of the city’s favourite photo spots.

10 min

Ride the funicular up the hillside, then glide over the trees in the cable car as the port and the city skyline open up beneath you.

20 min

Enjoy a visit to the castle, a military fortress that has witnessed every change of power in the city. Enter the dungeons, closed to the general public, where political prisoners were held, and hear the stories of the Spanish Civil War and of Lluís Companys, the Catalan president executed here in 1940.

1 h

Arise from the dungeons to the sky to admire a bird’s eye view of Barcelona and its surroundings. The best way to admire Barcelona in all its beauty is from high above the city. This is where Barcelona reveals itself in total splendor. With our exclusive visit, you will have access to the Tower of the Castle, where you can admire a 360ª views over Barcelona and, if the day is bright and clear, up to the Pyrenees.

30 min

See the the Magic Fountain show, where water, light and music come together below the Palau Nacional. Built for the 1929 International Exhibition and designed by Carles Buïgas, it was meant to be temporary, but Barcelona loved it too much to let it go.

20 min

Take a well-earned break on a terrace. Enjoy a selection of traditional tapas paired with local Catalan wine, while your guide shares tips on Barcelona’s food culture and the best places to eat during your stay.
