Your itinerary

Barcelona is delightfully walkable, so spend a day strolling between three must-see works by Gaudi, whose intricate architectural designs have left a longstanding mark on the city. We’ve arranged priority tickets for Casa Mila, Casa Batllo and, of course, the iconic Sagrada Familia, so you can simply wander to the front of the queue and marvel at the kaleidoscopic tiles and geometric motifs.

For a behind-the-scenes look into Barcelona, you’ll also head out on a?tour of the city with an expert guide. There’s no set route, but your guide?knows every corner of the city and can tailor the tour entirely to your interests, whether you’d rather focus on the lesser-known neighbourhoods, away from the crowds, or head for the buzzing shopping streets for some souvenirs. After even more art? Visit a few galleries, take a tour of the flea market or (re)discover the city through its street murals.

Come evening, sit back and relax on sun-soaked terraces, indulging in copious amounts of tapas and sangria. Throughout your stay, our?local Concierge?will be on hand to satisfy any last-minute needs or desires, so you don’t need to worry about a thing – apart from what tapas to try at their favourite restaurant…
