Casa Batllo. Casa Batlló is one of Antoni Gaudí’s most imaginative creations on Passeig de Gràcia. Redesigned in 1904, the building is famous for its colorful mosaic façade, bone-like balconies, and a roof shaped like a dragon’s back.

Plaça d’Espanya. Plaça d’Espanya is one of Barcelona’s largest and most important squares, built for the 1929 International Exhibition. It is marked by the twin Venetian Towers and sits at the foot of Montjuïc, near the Magic Fountain and the former bullring, now the Arenas shopping center. The square serves as a major transport hub and a grand gateway to the Montjuïc area.

Casa Amatller. Casa Amatller is a prominent Modernist building on Passeig de Gràcia, designed in 1898 by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Its distinctive stepped gable façade, inspired by Flemish Gothic architecture, contrasts with Gaudí’s neighboring Casa Batlló. Rich decorative details and sculpted stonework reflect the wealth and taste of the Amatller chocolate-making family who commissioned it.

Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) is housed in the grand Palau Nacional on Montjuïc hill. The museum is renowned for its outstanding collection of Romanesque frescoes, as well as Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern Catalan art. Its elevated position also offers panoramic views over Barcelona from the terraces.

La Mansana de la Discòrdia. La Mansana de la Discòrdia, meaning “Block of Discord,” refers to a famous stretch of Passeig de Gràcia where leading Modernist architects competed through bold designs. The contrasting façades and decorative styles earned the block its nickname, making it one of Barcelona’s most striking showcases of Catalan Modernisme.

L’Anella Olímpica de Montjuïc. L’Anella Olímpica de Montjuïc is the main Olympic complex built for the 1992 Barcelona Games. Located on Montjuïc hill, it includes the Olympic Stadium (Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys), Palau Sant Jordi, and surrounding open spaces. Today, it hosts major sporting events, concerts, and public gatherings, offering wide views over the city.

La Pedrera. La Pedrera, officially known as Casa Milà, is one of Antoni Gaudí’s most iconic Modernist buildings on Passeig de Gràcia. Completed in 1912, it is famous for its undulating stone façade and surreal rooftop chimneys. The innovative structure, natural light-filled courtyards, and flowing forms reflect Gaudí’s distinctive architectural vision.

Plaça de Catalunya. Plaça de Catalunya is Barcelona’s central square and main meeting point, linking the historic old town with the modern Eixample district. Surrounded by shops, cafés, and major avenues such as La Rambla and Passeig de Gràcia, it serves as a key transport hub and a lively gateway to the city.

Montserrat. Visit the national park of Montserrat – admission entry included in the price. Montserrat is a dramatic mountain range about one hour from Barcelona, known for its unique serrated rock formations and panoramic views. It is home to the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, which houses the revered Black Madonna (La Moreneta), Catalonia’s patron saint. The area combines natural beauty, spiritual significance, and excellent hiking opportunities.

Santa Maria de Montserrat. Santa Maria de Montserrat is a Benedictine monastery founded in the 11th century, dramatically set within the Montserrat mountains. It is one of Catalonia’s most important spiritual sites and home to the revered Black Madonna (La Moreneta). The abbey also features a basilica, a renowned boys’ choir, and sweeping views over the surrounding landscape.

El Born. El born is one of Barcelona’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, known for its narrow medieval streets, boutique shops, lively cafés, and vibrant nightlife. Blending history and creativity, it is home to landmarks such as Santa Maria del Mar and offers a mix of local culture, artisan stores, and a relaxed yet trendy vibe. We will enjoy a guided walking tour in this best part of Barcelona's old quarters.

Santa Maria del Mar. Santa Maria del Mar is a striking 14th-century Catalan Gothic church in the El Born district of Barcelona. Built between 1329 and 1383 by the city’s merchants and shipbuilders, it is known for its pure architectural lines, soaring columns, and luminous stained-glass windows. The interior feels unusually open and harmonious, making it one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic architecture in Spain.
