From street level, the church’s Gothic architecture is striking.
Strutting through Old Town, pass the beautiful square of Placa Sant Felip Neri, which hides some of Barcelona’s secrets. Famed architect Antoni Gaudi was a parishioner here — nearby is the site where he was struck by a tram and killed. This tucked-away courtyard is also featured in the Woody Allen movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Continue along the long pedestrian street of Las Ramblas to Santa Maria del Pi, a 14th-century church in the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic). Ascend the bell tower to admire one of the best views of Barcelona, capturing its colorful jumble of rooftops, historic landmarks and bustling city squares. From here you’ll get a better sense of Barcelona’s Roman influence, as many medieval Gothic-style buildings come into clearer view. Toast with a glass of cava as you touch Barcelona's sky.
Traverse a stretch of cobblestone streets in the historic city center to reach the El Born district, where imposing Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar stands. Climb to the roof and admire the city sprawling below your feet.
Throughout your tour, your guide will explain Barcelona’s history and architecture, and point out important buildings and landmarks. Conclude your 2.5-hour tour back where you started.
