Tour description

English version, French text below 👇

Discover the sites of Barcelona's nearly 2,000-year-old Roman colony and let your imagination bring to life the Roman Forum in today's Plaça de Sant Jaume, which remains the centre of Catalan political power after more than 20 centuries.

On this 2-hour guided tour, walk along one of the best-preserved Roman walls in the world.

Go back to the medieval era and admire the architecture and monumental buildings of the Gothic Quarter. The Plaça del Rei, with its Viceroy's Palace and magnificent Royal Palace, is sure to impress. It was here that the Catholic monarchs welcomed Christopher Columbus back from his first voyage to the Americas.

Admire Barcelona Cathedral and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, which represent the Catalan Gothic style par excellence. Despite its size, Santa Maria del Mar was built in record time. This area is full of trendy bars, restaurants, and small shops, allowing you to immerse yourself in the essence of Barcelona.

Walk along the famous Ramblas and discover why Barcelona is so popular with visitors. This bustling semi-pedestrian avenue is frequented by street performers and lined with small cafés and restaurants serving Catalan specialties. Also, visit the famous Boqueria market and explore its colourful stalls to discover traditional Catalan gastronomy.
