Take a walk through Paradise and discover an idyllic spot in the city where peace and tranquility rules. Explore Gaudí’s stone fantasy with this visit to Park Güell, declared a world heritage site by Unesco. Don´t miss out!

Everything in Barcelona is just that little bit different and when it comes to parks, the city boasts perhaps the most colourful and curious one in the world as this guided tour of Park Güell will reveal. Discover Antoni Gaudi's architectural marvel on this walking tour and explore the most important sites as you learn all about the history of the park and its designer. Enjoy stunning views of the city and visit Gaudi’s former home, which is now a museum dedicated to him.

Park Güell was first commissioned by the Güell family as part of a landscaped housing development that would be a Utopian ‘garden city’. However the venture was unsuccessful and the area was bought by the municipality and turned into a public park, with a handful of completed structures left as a hint of what might have been.

See the colourful dragon mosaic staircase made from broken tiles and take in the views from the large central terrace framed by a snaking series of benches in the form of a sea serpent. Below the terrace is the vaulted lower court, which has 86 Doric columns in the form of massive tree trunks. Walk along the colonnaded pathways and see how Gaudi integrated nature with architecture. He even built birds’ nests into the walkways and terrace walls.

The park also contains a beautiful pavilion where the great architect lived for most of the last two decades of his life. It is now the museum and among the exhibits you will find a collection of extravagant bespoke furniture designed by him.

Enjoy a bilingual guided tour of the famous Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, one of the most visited monuments in Spain. Regardless of your personal beliefs, the architecture, art and history that comes with this cathedral will leave you impressed from the minute you set eyes on it. During the tour you will see the exterior and interior of the basilica of Gaudí while your guide gives you the key points to understanding the symbolism used in such an emblematic temple that has been under construction since 1882.

Admire the original architecture of this unique piece consisting of three facades inspired by the three key moments in the life of Jesus Christ: his birth; passion, death and resurrection and glory. In the Sagrada Familia Christians can recognize the principles of their faith through structures, shapes and geometries inspired by nature. But for non-religious people, this work can be just as interesting in understanding the Christian religion: the history of the church, the Holy Scriptures, the tradition of devotion to the Saints, Christian doctrine and worship, etc. Whatever the motivation of your visit, you will find the Sagrada Familia a dream world to lose yourself to.

The first time you see the Sagrada Familia, you’ll probably be unsure of what to make of it. With tall airy spires that seem to defy gravity and seemingly cartoonish artistic details, Gaudí’s most ambitious project challenges and stuns over 3 million visitors per year. Today, it’s the most visited building in Spain. Your English-speaking local guide, an expert in all things Gaudí, will share stories and anecdotes that will help you get the most from your visit.

Highlights:
- Visit the Sagrada Familia, a UNESCO-listed masterpiece of Catalan Modernist architecture, which showcases Gaudí at the peak of his talent
- Our trademark Skip the Line access means no waiting in the famously long lines at the Sagrada Familia, potentially saving you hours of time
- Your expert local English-speaking guide will enrich your visit with the fascinating stories surrounding the construction of the Basilica and the genius behind its conception
- A personal headset is included so your guide can provide continuous commentary to enrich your experience.
- Limited groups of 25 people or fewer ensure you won’t feel lost in the crowd.

We’ll marvel at the two stunning completed façades and eight dizzying towers inspired by the peaks of Barcelona’s holy mountain Montserrat. After more than 100 years of tireless work, the façade is still under construction and it’s easy to appreciate why. Our guide will share tales of Gaudí’s love affair with his final work, how he considered the project his personal holy mission and the great personal sacrifices he made to ensure its completion. Sadly, he would not live to see it finished. Such was the complexity of the design that despite taking on the project at 31 years of age, Gaudí only lived to see the completion of one facade, one tower, the apse and the crypt.

Our trademark Skip the Line access will bring us straight past the long entrance lines and into the heart of the Basilica. You’ll feel as though you have stepped into an alternate universe. Gaudí’s characteristic dislike for straight lines will become disorientingly evident as we pass beneath rows and rows of tree-like pillars. Though construction is ongoing and not estimated to be completed until 2030, much of the Basilica can be visited today. The entrance fees collected from groups such as ours continue to ensure enough funding to see Gaudí’s dream through to completion. The Basilica was consecrated and declared a minor Basilica in 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI.

Whether you have visited the Sagrada Familia already or this is your first time, this constantly evolving masterpiece will never fail to surprise and inspire you!
