The city that took Freddie Mercury's breath away is just a trip up the road from the Costa Dorada. This full day visit to Barcelona offers you a chance to discover its modernist architecture and sporting glory. You'll see the soaring Sagrada Familia basilica, stroll down the world-famous Las Ramblas and visit the Olympic Stadium on a hill high above the city.
Your Barcelona city tour kicks off with an external view of the Sagrada Family basilica. Resembling a wave-worn sandcastle, the most famous creation of modernist architect Antoni Gaudi is still a work in progress. Its elaborate façades will have you looking up all the time.
Next, you'll have a couple of hours of free time in the centre. The Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, shopping in Portal de l'Angel – there's so much to do and see before the visit to Montjuic hill. The location of the main stadium from the 1992 Olympics, it boasts great panoramic views over Barcelona and the coast.
