See the city through the eyes of an architect who works here and knows it inside and out. This outdoor Barcelona walking tour covers the city’s finest Modernist and Art Nouveau treasures and even some hidden gems you won’t want to miss. Along the way, your expert guide points out the unexpected details and shares insider stories to make each design come alive.
Linger beneath the sculpted façades of the Sagrada Família as your guide deciphers their meaning. Learn how the remarkable Sant Pau Recinte Modernista, a 27-building masterpiece by the inimitable Lluís Domènech i Montaner, became the world’s largest Art Nouveau complex. See whimsy come to life in stone and iron at Casa Batlló and La Pedrera. You’ll even enter the Casa Amatller cafe to learn about Barcelona chocolate-making and join the tradition, dating to 1797, by trying a taste.
You’ll leave not only having seen more, but understanding more — how shape, color, and imagination combine to give Barcelona its unmistakable character.
