Barcelona Highlights on Foot
  • Shopping time included

by coach & on foot

This experience is ideal for those who love to explore a city on foot, delving into its hidden corners and rich history. After an approximately 30-minute coach journey you will begin your walk by passing the Palau de la Musica Catalana and the Church of Santa Maria del Mar, located in the vibrant Born Quarter.

From here, you will enter the Gothic Quarter, a maze of cobbled streets teeming with history and art at every turn. Enjoy an interior guided visit to the Barcelona Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture.

Continue exploring the city’s iconic sites as you visit key landmarks such as Sant Jaume Square, the heart of Barcelona’s political life; Plaça del Rei, an historic royal square; the Jewish Quarter, filled with centuries of cultural heritage; and the tranquil Felip Neri Square, bearing poignant reminders of the Spanish Civil War.

You will end your experience with a informative drive through the city, marvelling at the iconic Modernist buildings that define Barcelona’s unique architectural landscape before arriving back at the ship.
