About this activity

Discover the historic heart of Barcelona as you explore elegant Gothic architecture and stroll through hidden squares. You will explore Plaça Catalunya and the famous Ramblas, walking past landmark buildings, such as the Liceu Opera House.

Nip onto Plaça Reial and explore the colonnaded square. Walk down Carrer Ferran, one of the main commercial centers of the 19th-Century, and pause at charming Plaça del Pi with its beautiful Gothic church, Santa Maria del Pi.

Discover one of the narrowest streets in the city at Carrer Petritxol and grab a local “suïs” (hot chocolate topped with cream). Continue to Plaça Sant Jaume, center of the city’s political activity with the City Hall and the Palau de la Generalitat facing each other across the square.

You will go to Plaça del Rei at the heart of the Gothic Quarter to discover the medieval marvels, such as the lookout tower of King Martí, Santa Àgata’s Chapel and the Saló del Tinell.
