The tour:
Experience the top attraction in Barcelona – the Sagrada Família. With more than two million visitors a year, the Sagrada Família is the most famous of Antonio Gaudí’s buildings. This tour is very informative and one of the most-booked guided tours at Barcelona-Museum!

The guide will start off in front of the church and tell you about the cathedral’s inception and construction in general as well as about Gaudí himself. Then you enter the Sagrada Família through the group entrance, which is faster than entering through the regular one. The guide will then switch to a headset – this will let you enjoy the inside a bit better, and it also makes the entire tour much more relaxed. Afterwards, you can stay inside until the Church closes, if you like. Visit the museum in the basement, or climb the towers for an amazing view of Barcelona.

The tour:
This is an entertaining tour about modernism in Barcelona. For the Catalan Renaissance, the modernist style led to a kind of cultural re-birth (which is fitting when you consider the meaning of the word “renaissance”). Gaudí and his colleagues were a part of this zeitgeist and mixed traditional crafting with modern technology. The guide will lead you up from the old city to the Eixample district, where you will learn a lot about the modernist buildings that can be found there. Among them, there are such famous Gaudí buildings as the Casa Batlló, the Pedrera, and, of course, the Sagrada Família! But also modernist buildings by other architects of this time: like Palau de la Musica or Casa Amatller!
(Please note that all buildings will be examined from the outside.)

Another attraction is this beautiful Gaudí park in Barcelona. The Park Güell is located above the Gracia district, and it gives you an amazing view of Barcelona. It was designed in the 1900s and is an architectural marvel full of fountains and benches made of colorful mosaics. It is also well known for the brightly colored dragon in the entrance area.
