Detailed itinerary

Meet your local guide at the entrance of the Gran Teatre del Liceu, located along the lively Las Ramblas. This historic opera house, dating back to 1847, marks the perfect place to begin your cultural journey through Barcelona’s architectural wonders.

Stop 2

Discover one of Antoni Gaudí’s early masterpieces, designed for his patron Eusebi Güell. Your host will reveal how Gaudí’s use of space, light, and innovative materials transformed this urban mansion into a symbol of modernist creativity. Admire its ornate ironwork, parabolic arches, and rooftop chimneys that foreshadow the architect’s later works.

Stop 3

Continue to the famous Casa Batlló, a stunning example of Gaudí’s organic style. Hear stories about how this once-ordinary building was reimagined into a fairytale façade of vibrant tiles, curved lines, and symbolic details representing the legend of Saint George. Your guide will explain how the house reflects Gaudí’s deep connection to nature and Catalan identity.

Also known as La Pedrera (“The Stone Quarry”), this UNESCO-listed structure showcases Gaudí’s revolutionary approach to architecture. Learn how its flowing stone façade and wrought-iron balconies redefined Barcelona’s cityscape. Your host will share insights into Gaudí’s experimental techniques and how locals continue to draw inspiration from his vision.

Stop 5

Conclude your tour at La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí’s unfinished masterpiece and Barcelona’s most iconic landmark. Your guide will share the story of its intricate symbolism, from the Nativity and Passion façades to the awe-inspiring towers reaching toward the heavens.
