From there, we will travel back in time, going from the Roman era through to the early Middle Ages, when the Catalan counts were controlling the Mediterranean Sea and Barcelona was the capital of an empire. Included in this part of the tour is also a visit to the Jewish Quarter, the Royal Palace, the original 2000-year-old Roman Temple, and parts of the Cathedral. Before our lunch break, we are off to the Born district where the guide will point out a variety of restaurants and tapas bars suitable for lunch before ending the tour in the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar church – one of the most beautiful in Barcelona.

Your guide will happily provide you with suggestions for tapas, cafes, and restaurants and ensure your taste buds are happy with whatever you may be craving. Once your stomach is full, it is time to make our way to the famous Park Güell, a city garden designed by Anton Gaudi. Our guide will lead the group down through the park explaining the tantalizing garden concept and introducing you to some of Gaudí’s most bizarre creations. Next, the bus will take us through the traditional Catalan neighborhood of Gracia, a lovely part of the city with a bohemian vibe. We will stop at one of the most famous Gaudi buildings of all: La Pedrera. We will have an hour here to explore the monument. Thanks to our Skip the Line policy there will be no waiting in the queues! After the visit, our tour will end here at around 4 pm. There is the Diagonal metro stop (L4 & L5) just in front of the building. Still, have energy? Many travelers usually prefer to stroll down the impressive boulevard of Passeig de Gracia towards Placa Cataluña.

A comfortable Bus will take you to the mountain of Montserrat, a jagged mountain climbing up 4,051 feet (1,236 meters).

The rocks of Montserrat were formed by natural cement of sand during the centuries. The wind and rain shaped the mountain with strange and varied forms.

Creative imaginations see human or animal shapes in some of these peaks, giving those names and inventing legends to explain their fantastic origins.

This trip to Montserrat will allow you to enjoy the wonderful and breathtaking views of Montserrat Mountain, one of nature’s special creations amongst tranquility and beauty.

You will go up to Montserrat with the Cog-Wheel Train. This will drop you in the middle of the Monastery. It is a 15-minute trip with a privileged and spectacular view of the mountain.

The train has panoramic windows, making the actual journey a delight for the senses. The train is air-conditioned as well as wheelchair-friendly.

You will visit the Royal Basilica of Montserrat, which holds the famous 12th-century Romanesque carving of Verge Moreneta (the Black Madonna). This famous statue of the Black Madonna is visible from a distance.

The Benedict Sanctuary of Montserrat was founded in 1025 and provides a mystical backdrop for the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia, who is enshrined in the monastery’s Royal Basilica.

The little monastery soon began to receive pilgrims and visitors who spread the word of the miracles and wonders performed by the Virgin. Word of mouth led to more and more pilgrims visiting Montserrat.

Today, Montserrat has been modernized to continue attending to the needs of pilgrims, one thousand years after it was originally founded.

You will be given free time to visit the audiovisual exhibition about the history and creation of Montserrat and taste typical liquors of Montserrat, handmade by the monks of the monastery (both activities are included).

ADDITIONAL INFO:

Please be aware that some walking is included during this tour; we recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes.
You have approximately 1 hr 15 min of free time for lunch (from April to October) and 45 min (from November to March) between both parts of the excursions. Lunch is not included.
A correct dress code is requested to enter the Basilica at Montserrat. It is not permitted to enter with tank tops, strapless shirts, short shorts, or sandals.

General Tips, Recommendations, and Advice

While Barcelona has a warm, balmy climate it is still adjacent to the sea, which means weather can sometimes be unpredictable. When it does rain, it rains in full tropical style. Although it is unlikely, we recommend having a layer or two just in case. If it is the summer, you have much less to worry about.

If you are doing a tour that includes Montserrat Mountain, definitely bring layers regardless of the season. The weather on the mountain tends to change swiftly.

Wear sunscreen! The sun in Barcelona is strong. Even if you are enjoying a lovely sea breeze, the sun can still burn your skin. It is best to be cautious and not battle a painful sunburn!

Wear comfortable shoes. Barcelona is an old city full of charming cobblestone streets and lovely historic districts. Comfortable shoes are essential for the walking tours offered on this list. On the Montserrat tour, you will be walking on a mountain. Sneakers are a great choice.

Make a “must-see” list for your trip. This list will help you navigate our article, as many tours are offered and it can be hard to narrow down which ones you are most interested in.

In addition to your “must-see” list, try to have an open mind for tours and landmarks that weren’t on your radar. Sometimes the most memorable experiences happen out of spontaneity and an open mind.

Book Online!

All of the tours covered and highlighted in this article can be easily booked online for your convenience. Typically booking online also gives you a better chance to enjoy a discount.

Did you know?

One fun fact about Barcelona City Tours is that they often include visits to the “Superblocks.” These are innovative urban planning projects aimed at creating pedestrian-friendly zones within the city. In these areas, several city blocks are interconnected, and traffic is restricted to the perimeter, making the interior streets car-free or significantly reduced in traffic. Superblocks are designed to prioritize the well-being of residents and visitors by providing green spaces, playgrounds, outdoor seating, and cultural activities in the heart of the city. They promote a sense of community, reduce pollution, and contribute to a more sustainable and enjoyable urban environment. Exploring these Superblocks on a city tour allows you to witness Barcelona’s commitment to innovative urban planning and sustainability while enjoying a unique urban experience within the bustling city. It’s a testament to Barcelona’s progressive approach to urban design and livability.

We hope that you have gained valuable insight from this article. Acquiring knowledge about the city you are traveling to ensures that you fully enjoy the experience.

Knowledge is power for your upcoming adventure to Barcelona. From the oldest medieval district to the modern one, there are always things to do in Barcelona , to visit and discover.
