Barcelona Tours

Make the Most Out of Your Time in Barcelona

Spain is one of Europe’s great treasures and no city captures the spirit of Spanish creativity quite like the country’s second city, Barcelona. Almost all Barcelona tours include the famed architecture of Gaudi and the Park Güell but the city is so much more than the Sagrada Familia and his other works. Barcelona is a city of history and enchantment; a city that will capture your spirit and leave you longing for more.

Despite the cliché, a trip to Sagrada Familia is a worthwhile aspect of Barcelona tours; it is, after all, the symbol of the city and represents one of Gaudi’s greatest works. The Park Güell is home to a number of other Gaudi masterpieces and was originally intended [unsuccessfully] as a housing development. For more of Gaudi, the city offers a plethora of other sights worth seeing and many Barcelona tours will focus solely on him and his works.

A number of Barcelona tours will also take you to the Columbus Monument; the 1888 structure built to honour Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the new world for the Spanish crown. From the top you can get a 360 degree view of the city. The city is also home to its own triumphant arch, the Arc de Triomf, which was also built in 1888 as an opening gate to the World’s Fair. If relaxing on a stretch of sand is more suited to your needs, Barcelona is home to one of the best urban beaches in the world; you can spend a day letting the cool Mediterranean breeze wash over your sun-kissed skin.

Whichever options you chose for you Barcelona tours, be sure to take in as much of this amazing city as your time allows. It truly is one of the jewels of Europe.
