Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

We start our tour at the Plaza de Catalunya which is considered the city centre of Barcelona but also where the old city meets the new. We find interesting motifs along the plaza before moving on through the city.

Stop 2

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia dates back to thirteenth century and is a truly iconic landmark worth both visiting and photographing. We make sure that you get to find interesting angles and perspectives on this incredible architectural marble.

We also stop to photograph the ancient church which dates all the way back to 998. We focus on finding interesting angles and compositions which may not be obvious on first approach.

The very iconic red bricked triumphal arch is a landmark not to miss. It serves as a backdrop for many famous pictures from Barcelona and we will of course create our own iconic images of this exceptional landmark.

Both from the outside as well as the inside of the public library built in 1895, there are incredible photographic options. With respect for the people and the surroundings we will strive to make some truly outstanding images for you to bring home from a memorable tour.
