About this experience
You will stroll along the fashionable Passeig de Gracia and enjoy the masterpieces of Catalan modernists. Visit one of the best European reserves and ascend to the top of Tibidabo Mountain with a breathtaking view of the city.
What to Expect
Modernist masterpieces and bird's eye view of the city
In 4 hours, we will talk extensively about Spain, Barcelona and the Catalans. I will reveal the most interesting facts about local history and architecture. I will suggest where to eat deliciously, where to go in your free time and what to bring from the Catalan capital. The tour program includes:
- Passeig de Gracia - you will walk along the most elegant street in Barcelona, explore the 'Quadrat d'Or' with the best works of the modernists and determine which building you like best.
- Collserola Park - a favorite relaxation spot for the people of Barcelona. I will show you the coziest, quiet paths away from cars, which will ultimately lead us to the top of Tibidabo Mountain. Along the way, I will talk about the city's history and its famous residents. I will also mention the differences between Catalans and other Spaniards, as well as the distinction between Catalan and our mentalities.
- Tibidabo Mountain - the best spot to enjoy a panoramic view, understand the city's layout, and hear how it has changed throughout history.
- Basilica of the Sagrada Familia - I will explain why the Basilica of the Holy Family elicits such a strong and controversial reaction from people.
- Amusement Park - the first amusement park in Spain. The program does not include rides, but even just looking at them is a pleasure. They convey the spirit of the past, kindness, and childhood.
Who is this tour for
For those who want to enjoy nature on vacation without sacrificing the cultural component.
Organizational Details
- The tour does not require special sports training. The only condition is a love for walking. The ascent of the mountain takes from 1 to 1.5 hours, but the climb is gentle and comfortably alternates with flat terrain.
- I recommend bringing a water bottle
- Please do not wear flip-flops and high-heeled shoes. You will be much more comfortable in sneakers or trainers. Clothing - any (shorts, trousers, jeans), not restricting movement.
- We will use the metro to ascend the mountain slightly from the center. The uphill walk - from the point where the most picturesque path begins. We will also return by metro (15 minutes). The ticket is not included in the price - 4 euros (round trip).
- The tour will end at Catalunya Square
