Barcelona Architecture Tour

A finely tuned day on the town for architecture lovers and experts.

Barcelona’s architecture is unrivaled anywhere else in the world. Nowhere can you admire ancient Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals and palaces, dream-like “Modernist” creations unlike anything you’ve ever seen, and slick contemporary constructions, all within minutes of each other. The distinctiveness of Barcelona’s buildings, the city’s rare union between old and new, and the intelligent urban layout are fascinating to all, especially those who understand architecture and urban planning. There’s a reason those who do, will travel any distance to witness the phenomenon for themselves and, if they’re lucky, to contribute with architectural gems of their own! Today, no big-name architect’s repertoire is complete without at least one work in Barcelona.

If your desire is to discover, decipher, and interpret the architecture of Barcelona, in an in-depth and intelligent way, then this tour is for you.

Barcelona’s buildings are diverse in style, vast in quantity, and often dispersed throughout the city’s different neighborhoods, as are the masterfully-designed urban spaces. And their constructions span a continuum of over 2000 years, with important landmarks left behind in each era. So, the clearer you can be with us about your specific tastes and the types, styles, and time periods you’d like this tour to include, the easier our job will be. We’ll tailor the experience to you.
