What makes Sagrada Familia & Barcelona Small Group Tour with Hotel Pick-up a unique experience ?

Get the chance to see examples of town planning and architecture especially designed for the 1929 International Exhibition.
Continue your visit of the city heading to Barcelona’s waterfront, passing by well renowned citysights, such as the must-visit Las Ramblas, probably the most famous avenue of the city, home to many bars, restaurants and shops.
Along the way in the Ramblas, you may pass by the most known covered market of the city, La Boquería. Have a look to the main entrance and feel the hustling and bustling of the market from the minivan.
Pass by the Barceloneta, once the home of fishermen, people associated with the fishing trade and the metal industry, and nowadays one of the city’s most visited and popular districts. The neighbourhood, with its narrow, rectilinear streets, was built on a military grid structure to provide accommodation for the former inhabitants of La Ribera who had lost their homes due to the construction of the Citadel Park.
Continue the day with a walking tour of the medieval Old Town of Barcelona. Enjoy a stroll in the Gothic Quarter, where the history of Barcelona began. Learn about Catalan traditions and Barcelona’s origins, while exploring enchanting corners, picturesque plazas and the narrow alleys of the Gothic quarter.
Walk in a maze of winding streets dating back to roman times, live the passing of times through medieval and gothic architecture, have a look to the transformation of a city from its oldest times to a modern and vibrant lifestyle.
As you explore Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter you’ll come across one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Inside a small medieval courtyard, the four columns from the Temple of Augustus have survived despite the passing of the centuries. They are more than 2,000 years old, like Barcelona itself.
Pass by the Barcelona Cathedral and discover its façade and the combination of Romanesque, Gothic and neo-Gothic styles due to the fact that it was built over six centuries. Funded by donations from the medieval brotherhoods and guilds, the building work in Santa Creu commenced in 1298 and was completed around 1890, following the original plans, in the neo-Gothic style.
The romantic, slightly faded Plaça Sant Felip Neri is an unmissable corner of the Gothic Quarter. Presided over by the baroque church from which it takes its name, the square features a number of historic elements that make it particularly attractive.
Along the way, pass through Passeig de Gràcia, with its typical Catalan architecture. The avenue is home to the most remarkable façades of modernist buildings, including Gaudi’s La Pedrera, Casa Batlló and Domènech’s Casa Lleó – Morera or Casa Ametller.

Pass by the old Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, declared a UNESCO World Heritage for its exceptional beauty and functionality. It is one of the foremost works of Lluís Domènech i Montaner, the leading architect of Catalan Modernisme, and the teacher of Gaudi at architecture university.
The life project of a genius or a fool, with no doubts the Sagrada Familia will leave a lifelong impression. Experience a moment full of emotion, admiring Gaudi’s masterpiece, considered as the most emblematic landmark of Barcelona.
