Our tour covers all the main highlights of Barcelona, including the famous buildings and monuments designed by Antoni Gaudí (Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, Park Güell, and more).  You get the option to skip the line at Park Güell, and you can also finish the tour at the Sagrada Familia if you have skip-the-line tickets for the visit inside (outside visit is already included).

Itinerary

  1. Sagrada Familia Basilica.

    The Sagrada Família is a large, unfinished Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. Construction began in 1882, and the project is known for its unique blend of Gothic and Art Nouveau styles, with a heavy emphasis on natural and symbolic forms. Key features include its three facades (Nativity, Passion, and Glory), numerous towers representing the apostles, evangelists, and Virgin Mary, and a design deeply inspired by nature.

    Architectural style and design

    • Gaudí's vision: Antoni Gaudí took over the project in 1883 and infused it with his distinctive style, creating a building inspired by nature rather than straight-line structures.
    • Symbolism: The basilica is filled with symbolism. The three entrances represent the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love.
    • Facades: The Nativity Facade is dedicated to the birth of Christ. The Passion Facade is stark and dramatic, depicting the crucifixion and suffering of Jesus. The Glory Facade, still under construction, will represent the path to God and glory.
    • Towers: The basilica will have 18 towers. The completed towers include those dedicated to the apostles, the evangelists, the Virgin Mary, and eventually, the tallest one will be dedicated to Jesus Christ.

    History and construction

    • Timeline: The project began in 1882 but has been under construction for over 140 years. Gaudí dedicated the last years of his life to the project, but he only saw parts of the Nativity facade and the crypt completed.
    • Delays: The construction faced significant delays due to factors including Gaudí's death in 1926, the destruction of original plans during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, and material shortages throughout the 20th century.
    • Current status: Construction continues today, with major milestones like the inauguration of the Virgin Mary tower in 2021 and the four evangelist towers in 2023. The central tower of Jesus Christ is scheduled for completion in 2025.

  2. Park Guell.

    Park Güell is a public park and garden complex in Barcelona, Spain, famous for its unique architectural elements designed by Antoni Gaudí. Originally intended as a housing development for wealthy families by industrialist Eusebi Guell, the project began in 1900 but was never completed as originally planned. It became a public park, and its unique design was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984. The park is known for its organic shapes, colorful mosaic work, and iconic features like the dragon staircase and undulating benches

  3. Monserrat Mountain.

    The Serrated Mountain, or The Montserrat Mountain, a multi-peaked mountain range in catalonia, Spain,  a multi-peaked mountain range in Catalonia, Spain, is famous for its distinctive saw-like rock formations. It is a significant cultural and spiritual landmark, home to the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey. The mountain is situated about 30 miles northwest of Barcelona and is part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. Its striking pink rock is a type of sedimentary rock known as conglomerate, composed of rounded stones cemented together over millions of years.  The mountain is home to the Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria de Montserrat. Founded in 1025, it is a major site of pilgrimage.
