Welcome to Barcelona Walking Tour: Old Town, Historic Port and Barcelona Cathedral

Your Barcelona City Tour starts next to the famous Boqueria Market, where you’ll meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people and go straight to where it all began; the center of the old city. Passing fragments of 2,000-year old Roman Walls, you’ll step into the Plaza Nova to see a mural by Picasso.

Insidethe Barcelona Cathedral you'll enjoy a fully guided visit to the cloister and eventually make your way up to the rooftop where you'll take in magical views from the terrace.

Then you'll head into the narrow side-streets of the old city to see some of its most fascinating landmarks. We’ve carefully crafted a route that showcases the best of this small area, weaving together a rich tapestry of stories from the Romans all the way to the present day. As you go, you’ll follow in the footsteps of a martyr, explore the old Jewish Ghetto, and get some architectural history in a square that used to be the favorite of Antoni Gaudí. Since your Barcelona city tour is led by a local guide, you’ll also get some insight into modern politics, including Catalonia’s quest to gain independence from Spain.

Your final stop on this Barcelona City Tour is the historic port, where you’ll learn about its ancient connection to the sea, see a modern sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein.

For travelers visiting Barcelona for the first time, this tour is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with the city and develop the sort of local knowledge that will set you up for the rest of your stay. There is no easier, or more enjoyable, way to begin your vacation in Barcelona.

Note: Due to safety reasons, in a case of bad weather the Cathedral roof top terrace may not be accessible.
