Activity itinerary

Placa del Rei
  • 15m
Step back into the Middle Ages as you wander into the heart of the Gothic Quarter. Here rises King Martin’s Watchtower, a breathtaking medieval gem where Christopher Columbus was welcomed by the Catholic Monarchs after his return from the New World. Standing on these very stones, you’ll feel the echoes of one of history’s great turning points.
Barcelona Cathedral
  • 20m
Prepare to be awed by the majestic Barcelona Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece that dominates the city’s skyline. As your expert guide unveils tales of bishops, queens, and rebels, you’ll gaze up at soaring spires and intricate facades that seem almost otherworldly. It’s not just a church — it’s a monument to centuries of faith, power, and artistry.
Church of San Felipe Neri
  • 15m
Tucked away in a quiet square lies San Felipe Neri, a place of haunting beauty. The baroque church and its surrounding plaza bear the scars of the Spanish Civil War, bullet holes still visible on ancient stone walls. Both poignant and peaceful, it’s one of Barcelona’s most moving hidden corners — a reminder of resilience amid tragedy.
Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi
  • 15m
Rising proudly in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, the Santa Maria del Pi enchants with its elegant rose window — one of the largest in the world — and its 15th-century Gothic architecture. A living testament to Barcelona’s golden age, this church invites you to pause, look up, and let its beauty wash over you.
Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar
  • 15m
Known as the “Cathedral of the Sea,” this awe-inspiring church was built stone by stone by Barcelona’s merchants and sailors. Its pure Catalan Gothic style, soaring columns, and luminous stained glass make it one of the city’s most beloved landmarks — a place where devotion meets the grandeur of the Mediterranean spirit.
El Fossar de les Moreres
  • 20m
End your journey at the Fossar de les Moreres, a solemn yet powerful memorial honouring the fallen defenders of Barcelona during the 1714 Siege. More than just a square, it is a place of memory and defiance, where the eternal flame reminds visitors of sacrifice, resilience, and Catalonia’s unbroken identity.
