The City of Barcelona

Overview

You will be met at your cruise port, where you will board your comfortable transportation - ready for this exciting half-day city tour! Your guide will drive you to all of the must-see sights in the city, making sure that you have plenty of opportunities to walk around and see everything up close, depending on your interests.

See the Cathedral and Antoni Gaudi's famous La Sagrada Família, Barcelona's funkiest church (outside view). Begun in 1883, it is still not finished! If you wish to purchase tickets for Park Güell (extra supplement), a garden complex with fascinating architectural elements situated on a hill in the Gràcia district. From the large cross at the Park's high-point you'll get the most complete view of Barcelona and the bay, including the Sagrada Família and the Montjuïc area.

Now make your way to Monjuic, a hill rising 700 feet above the city's commercial port and providing some of the best views of Barcelona and on the way, you will pass nearby another of Gaudi's works, Casa Mila, a deeply controversial building. Its rippled stone facade and harsh wrought-iron balconies earned it the nickname "La Pedrera." This will be followed by Casa Batlló, known locally as "Casa dels ossos," or house of bones, due to its exterior skeletal quality.

To maximize your time ashore, tickets are pre-purchased to Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia at the time of booking - these are non-refundable. Visiting these incredible landmarks, you will want to spend as much time as you can! At the end of your city tour, you will board your transport to return to your cruise port. Please ensure you let us know about the entrance tickets, the entrance tickets have limited availability so it is important to reserve these as soon as possible.
