Complete Gaudi Group Tour - Casa Batllo, Park Guell & Extended Sagrada Familia Visit

Gaudí is synonymous with Barcelona. During this comprehensive guided tour around four different Barcelona neighborhoods, you'll have the chance to step inside three of the architect's most famous works and walk by a couple more. This carefully thought-out tour combines walking, public transport, and a private transfer to help you make the most of a day dedicated to Gaudí's genius. The morning tour starts at Casa Batlló, probably Gaudí’s most impressive residential project. Once inside, you'll be amazed at the smart solutions Gaudí found to solve architectural problems throughout the house. One of the highlights is the roof, designed to look like the scales of a dragon, one of Barcelona's symbols. Then, you'll stop to have a look at Casa Mila (La Pedrera) and Casa Vicens, both of which you can visit at a different time on your own, after the invaluable insights you'll have from your expert guide. However, if you opt for the afternoon tour instead, you'll be able to step inside Casa Vicens in the company of your guide. Up next is Park Güell, a fascinating park that feels like a microcosm of its own, where you'll be able to further explore Gaudí's genius and enjoy some of the best views in Barcelona, too. The tour ends at what must be the most iconic landmark in Barcelona: La Sagrada Família. The church will leave you speechless with the splendor of its facades and almost unreal interior.

Sagrada Familia is not Barcelona's only church

While Sagrada Familia finally received its consecration from Pope Benedict in 2010, Barcelona boasts more than just this iconic church. Locals often favor Santa Maria del Mar as their top place of worship. Despite enduring a significant earthquake in 1428 and a devastating 11-day fire in July 1936, evident in the lingering scorch marks, the church stands resilient. With towering columns set 43 feet apart and expansive stained glass windows, the interior creates a celestial ambiance. Barcelona Cathedral offers another unique encounter, reflecting centuries of history with Nordic-inspired elements, dating back to the 11th century, and recent reconstructions using the original Montserrat stone. Explore the cloister with 13 contented geese and the crypt dedicated to the 13-year-old martyr Eulàlia. For stunning views of the Old City, it's worth paying the small fee to take the lift to the cathedral's roof.
