Detailed itinerary

1

We begin at the remains of the Roman walls and aqueduct, where Barcelona’s story first began. These stones mark the city’s foundation as Barcino, a Roman settlement that grew into the vibrant metropolis we know today.

2

This Gothic-Renaissance gem, once the home of an archdeacon, now houses the city’s archives. Don’t miss its famous modernist mailbox, designed by Domènech i Montaner, with symbolic motifs of swallows and turtles.

3

The majestic Gothic Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia towers over the heart of the city. Step inside to admire its soaring nave, stunning stained glass, and the cloister, home to 13 resident white geese.

4

A unique museum created by the sculptor and collector Frederic Marès. Beyond sculptures, it houses an extraordinary collection of everyday objects that tell the stories of centuries past.

5

Discover the legacy of one of Europe’s greatest medieval powers. The archive preserves centuries of documents, while the Gate of Sant Jordi, with its striking Gothic style, celebrates the patron saint of Catalonia.

6

This atmospheric square transports you back to medieval times. Surrounded by the Royal Palace and Gothic buildings, it was here that Columbus was received after his voyage to the New World.

7

Stroll down this historic street, once bustling with booksellers. Today it retains its old-world charm with some of the oldest shops in the city.

8

A lively square that blends history with modern Barcelona. It was once the site of medieval trade, now a busy meeting point full of energy.

9

The political heart of Barcelona since Roman times. On one side stands the City Hall, on the other the Palau de la Generalitat, seat of the Catalan government.

10

Hidden in a courtyard, you’ll find four towering Roman columns — the remains of a temple dedicated to Emperor Augustus. A true hidden treasure of ancient Barcelona.

11

Celebrate Catalonia’s most emblematic tradition: castells, or human towers. This monument captures the strength, balance, courage, and teamwork behind this UNESCO-recognized heritage.

12

Named after the author of Homage to Catalonia, this square has a modern, alternative atmosphere and is known for its striking street art.

13

One of the most famous squares in Barcelona, lined with palm trees and arcades filled with cafés and nightlife. Look out for the distinctive lampposts designed by a young Antoni Gaudí.

14

A vibrant street connecting the Gothic Quarter with La Rambla. Once part of the medieval city, today it’s alive with shops and restaurants.

15

Step into one of the oldest parts of the city. Narrow streets whisper the stories of Barcelona’s Jewish community, which flourished here in medieval times.

16

A hauntingly beautiful square marked by the scars of the Spanish Civil War. The baroque church of Sant Felip Neri stands as a symbol of resilience and memory.

17

Pause by the Bishop’s Fountain, an iconic photo spot in the Gothic Quarter. Its Gothic arches frame one of the most picturesque corners of Barcelona.

18

A modern mosaic made of thousands of tiny photographs, forming an image of a kiss. A celebration of love, diversity, and the small moments that create a bigger picture.
