Overview

Step back more than 2,000 years on this private walking tour through the historic heart of Barcelona, led by a local guide who adapts the route to your interests.

Starting next to Plaça de Catalunya, you will uncover the origins of Roman Barcelona and its ancient remains, then wander through the medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter, past the Cathedral and Plaça del Rei to Plaça de Sant Jaume, where the Catalan government still sits today.

Along the way, stroll down La Rambla past the colourful Boqueria market and the elegant Plaça Reial, before ending in El Born at Santa Maria del Mar, the 14th-century basilica whose stones were carried from Montjuïc on the backs of the neighbourhood’s dockworkers.
