Guided City Break in Barcelona

Each day our experienced leader will lead you on a sightseeing walk of Barcelona, exploring the different areas of the city. Although you should expect to spend most of the day sightseeing by foot, Barcelona’s metro network will also be used during the programme.  

Highlights of the sightseeing programme include:

Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter)

The city’s Gothic Quarter is an intriguing labyrinth of atmospheric, narrow streets that are a world away from the bustling La Rambla. Pass the Gothic cathedral and a wonderful array of medieval buildings.

La Boqueria

This public market just off La Rambla is an Aladdin’s cave of seafood, artisan products, charcuterie and other fresh produce.

Gaudí’s masterpieces

Highlights include Gaudí’s unfinished cathedral, La Sagrada Familía, the distinctive Casa Milà apartment block and Parc Güell with its colourful mosaics.

Museu Nacional Art de Catalunya

Housed in the Palau Nacional, the museum combines a collection of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and modern art.

Admission fees

Admission fees are not included in the cost of the holiday. As a general guide, you should allow around €55, although reductions on admission costs are often available for students and senior citizens. 

Local transport

During this City Break the sightseeing programme will involve the use of the metro. Your leader will provide further information on arrival in Barcelona. 

In the evenings

This holiday is sold on a bed and breakfast basis. However, your leader will make arrangements at local restaurants should members of the group wish to eat together.
You will find that most guests enjoy dining together but the choice is yours. If you do choose to dine independently, your leader will be happy to offer suggestions and advice.

Festive Barcelona

Visit Barcelona over Christmas for an alternative festive experience.  

This City Break follows the same itinerary as our normal Barcelona sightseeing programme. However, please note that there may be some small changes due to Christmas opening times. On Christmas Day, a 3-course dinner is included in the price of the holiday.
