Embark on a journey through time with our Gothic Quarter Barcelona Tour
Old Town Barcelona – Half Day
Another fantastic area to explore in Barcelona is the Old Town. Here, you’ll step back in time as you wander past Roman constructions from over 2,000 years ago, admire medieval buildings, and see historical sites like the King’s Palace and the King’s Square. We’ll also pass by the stunning Cathedral, the City Hall, and the Government Palace in Plaça de Sant Jaume. And, of course, no visit is complete without a stroll down La Rambla and a peek inside the vibrant Boqueria Market (note that it’s closed on Sundays).
If you’re up for it, we can add on the ancient Jewish Quarter or the trendy Born neighborhood. This route is mostly a walking tour where we admire the exteriors of these iconic sites.
Want to see even more? We can dive deeper into the Old Town with visits to the magnificent Palau de la Música Catalana, the Picasso Museum, or Palau Güell (one of Gaudí’s creations). To make time for these, you might need to skip some of the previous sights or opt for a full-day tour for the complete experience!
