  • Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) - Our first stop will be the Plaza Nova, where you will find the ruins of the Roman Walls.

Next, we will visit the majestic Cathedral of Barcelona with its impressive façade.

Immersed in the heart of the Gothic Neighbourhood, we will visit the Plaza del Rei. It is bordered by diverse palace buildings; this picturesque square with its typical architecture evokes the political and economic prosperity of medieval Barcelona.

After that, we will visit Plaza Sant Jaume where its most important buildings for the Barcelona and Catalonia society are located: the Town Council and the Palacio de la Generalitat.

On the photogenic street called Calle del Bisbe, we arrive at the unique Plaza de Sant Felip Neri, one of the City’s most charming Medieval spots.

From there, we enter the old Jewish Neighbourhood where we will learn about its interesting history as we stroll along its narrow streets.

Our route through the historical City Centre will end at busy Plaza del Pi.

  • Las Ramblas - Next, we will begin a stroll along the Las Ramblas, towards the port; we will stop at each one of the most emblematic places of this famous avenue such as the Boqueria Market, Liceo Opera Palace, La Plaza Reial, etc.

Before arriving at the sea, we will discover the first relevant architectural work by Antonio Gaudí: The Güell Palace, a building that has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

At the end of the Ramblas Boulevard, the monument to Christopher Columbus is undoubtedly one of the city’s icons; this will be our last stop prior to commencing the navigation by boat.

  • Port Vell - The boat excursion by the prestigious nautical company “Las Golondrinas” will have an approximate duration of 1 hour. As we navigate, we will discover the port and the maritime façades of Barcelona. It will be a relaxing ride with unique images of the city and its environment.

Well worth it! - We had Monika take us through the Gothic quarter, las ramblas and on a boat tour. The tour was very informative and a great way to start off our stay in the Gothic quarter and surrounding area! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn the history of the area as well as other places to check out in the area.
