Discover the secrets of the Gothic quarter and the marvelous art Nouveau district. And at the end stroll through a exquisite garden overlooking the Mediterranean sea and marvel at the beautiful skyline of Barcelona from a vantage point high above the city.If you have limited time, but want to take a bite out of the old and the new town in one day, then this tour might be just right for you.
You will embark on a journey of exciting discovery. It is a journey from Roman times up to the early 20th century. First you will explore the secrets of the Gothic quarter. you will venture deep into this fascinating neighborhood and immerse yourselves in its turbulent history.You will see the ancient stones can talk and they have quite a story to tell.Then you will take the metro to the Eixample district, where the upper middle class and rich industrialists who had fled the confines of the old town, flaunted their wealth by constructing magnificent palaces and townhouses.
While strolling through this beautiful district, you make the acquaintance with Gaudí and some of his contemporaries and since the short coffee break you had earlier in the Gothic quarter is not enough on this 5-hour tour, you will have a hot chocolate break in the palace of an 19th century chocolate factory owner.
After admiring some of Barcelona’s most mind boggling town houses (they all are fantasies of stone, glass and iron), you will go to this beautiful park, which is only a metro and a cable car ride away.
