Activity itinerary

Roman Aqueduct

  • 10m
We begin at the remains of the Roman walls and aqueduct, where Barcelona’s story first began. These stones mark the city’s foundation as Barcino, a Roman settlement that grew into the vibrant metropolis we know today.

Casa de l'Ardiaca

  • 10m
This Gothic-Renaissance gem, once the home of an archdeacon, now houses the city’s archives. Don’t miss its famous modernist mailbox, designed by Domènech i Montaner, with symbolic motifs of swallows and turtles.

Cathedral of Barcelona

  • 10m
The majestic Gothic Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia towers over the heart of the city. Step inside to admire its soaring nave, stunning stained glass, and the cloister, home to 13 resident white geese.

Museu Frederic Marès

  • 5m
A unique museum created by the sculptor and collector Frederic Marès. Beyond sculptures, it houses an extraordinary collection of everyday objects that tell the stories of centuries past.

General Archive of the Crown of Aragon

  • 5m
Discover the legacy of one of Europe’s greatest medieval powers. The archive preserves centuries of documents, while the Gate of Sant Jordi, with its striking Gothic style, celebrates the patron saint of Catalonia.

Plaça del Rei

  • 5m
This atmospheric square transports you back to medieval times. Surrounded by the Royal Palace and Gothic buildings, it was here that Columbus was received after his voyage to the New World.

Baixada de la Llibreteria

  • 5m
Stroll down this historic street, once bustling with booksellers. Today it retains its old-world charm with some of the oldest shops in the city.

Plaça de l'Àngel

  • 5m
A lively square that blends history with modern Barcelona. It was once the site of medieval trade, now a busy meeting point full of energy.

Plaça de Sant Jaume

  • 5m
The political heart of Barcelona since Roman times. On one side stands the City Hall, on the other the Palau de la Generalitat, seat of the Catalan government.

Temple d'August

  • 5m
Hidden in a courtyard, you’ll find four towering Roman columns — the remains of a temple dedicated to Emperor Augustus. A true hidden treasure of ancient Barcelona.

Monument als Castellers

  • 5m
Celebrate Catalonia’s most emblematic tradition: castells, or human towers. This monument captures the strength, balance, courage, and teamwork behind this UNESCO-recognized heritage.

Plaça George Orwell

  • 5m
Named after the author of Homage to Catalonia, this square has a modern, alternative atmosphere and is known for its striking street art.

Plaça Reial

  • 10m
One of the most famous squares in Barcelona, lined with palm trees and arcades filled with cafés and nightlife. Look out for the distinctive lampposts designed by a young Antoni Gaudí.

Carrer de Ferran

  • 10m
A vibrant street connecting the Gothic Quarter with La Rambla. Once part of the medieval city, today it’s alive with shops and restaurants.

Jewish Quarter

  • 5m
Step into one of the oldest parts of the city. Narrow streets whisper the stories of Barcelona’s Jewish community, which flourished here in medieval times.

Plaça de Sant Felip Neri

  • 5m
A hauntingly beautiful square marked by the scars of the Spanish Civil War. The baroque church of Sant Felip Neri stands as a symbol of resilience and memory.

Carrer del Bisbe

  • 5m
Pause by the Bishop’s Fountain, an iconic photo spot in the Gothic Quarter. Its Gothic arches frame one of the most picturesque corners of Barcelona.

The World Comes To Life With Each Kiss

  • 5m
A modern mosaic made of thousands of tiny photographs, forming an image of a kiss. A celebration of love, diversity, and the small moments that create a bigger picture.
