Additional Information

You’ll see the vibrant “La Cara de Barcelona” sculpture, a pop art creation by Roy Lichtenstein. And we’ll visit Port Vell, Barcelona’s historic old port. Stroll along the waterfront, where tradition and modernity meld and merge, as you take in panoramic views of the Mediterranean.

Cross the iconic Rambla de Mar, a movable wooden bridge that leads you to Maremagnum, a lively commercial complex on a charming island, where you’ll hear the stories of how this area has evolved through the centuries.

We’ll dive into Barcelona’s maritime history outside the Drassanes Reials, the Royal Shipyards. Your guide will share about the ancient Kingdom of Aragón and the naval power that has shaped the region.
Finish your Barcelona walking tour at the majestic Columbus Monument, standing at the end of La Rambla. Your guide will bring you to the entrance, where you can begin your ascent to the top for sweeping 360-degree views of Barcelona and the sea.
