With this private tour, you will get an overall view of Barcelona's multiple personalities. The order of your tour is flexible; it can vary according to the group's preferences, the starting and returning point, and the state of the traffic and even the weather. Avoid queuing with a reservation and a licensed guide. These tours provide an overview of the the best sights and attractions the city has to offer.
We will see Montjuïc Hill, which is both a cultural (Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC), Fundació Miró, the German Pavilion (Miess Van der Rohe) and a sportive one (the Olympic Ring). It was urbanized in 1929 for the International Exhibition.
We will stop at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, which was part of the Olympic Ring, the nerve centre of the Olympic Games. We will also visit St. Jordi Pavilion, Picornell swimming pools, the University of Sport, Calatrava Communications Tower, etc.
We will visit Mirador de l'Alcalde (Mayor's Lookout). This balcony over the Mediterranean offers a panoramic view over the whole city and port. There is a monument here dedicated to the typical Catalan dance, the Sardana.
Between La Rambla and the sea beside the medieval Drassanes, which houses the Maritime Museum, the Columbus column was built to commemorate Columbus' return from America which was to the city of Barcelona where he was met by the Catholic Kings.
We will show you the seafront of the Old Port, which has been converted, into a popular city port near the city centre. There are many attractions such as the Aquarium, the IMAX cinema, restaurants, nightclubs and shops.
We will see the Arc de Triomf, the entrance to the 1888 Exhibition. The Arc is found at the top of a wide avenue with lovely Modernist lamp posts leading down to Ciutadella Park.
The beautiful Passeig de Gràcia is a central boulevard known for its luxurious design shops and famous international brands. You will find several Modernist buildings including two houses by Gaudí: Casa Batllò and Casa Milà or "La Pedrera."
We will also visit The Sagrada Família, an unfinished temple by the genius architect Antoni Gaudí, who dedicated the latter part of his life to this work. The Sagrada Família is a synthesis of his overall conception of architecture. The richness of detail and its significance need explaining in order to appreciate this fascinating and extraordinary building in full.
