Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
Construction of La Sagrada Familia began in 1882 and continues to this day, standing as one of the world’s most extraordinary architectural achievements. Blending neo-Gothic elements with Gaudí’s visionary design, the basilica is dedicated to the Holy Family and renowned for its three grand façades — the Nativity, the Passion, and the Glory — each portraying moments from the life of Jesus. Inside, vibrant stained glass windows bathe the space in color, while 18 soaring towers symbolize Christ, the Gospels, the Virgin Mary, and the 12 Apostles. Fittingly, Gaudí rests eternally within his greatest masterpiece.

Next, you’ll take a short 20-minute drive with your guide up Carmel Hill, where you’ll visit the enchanting Park Güell — another of Gaudí’s masterpieces. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided exploration of this whimsical park filled with colorful mosaics, imaginative sculptures, and breathtaking views over Barcelona.
3
Enjoy priority skip-the-line access to this vast 17-hectare park filled with gardens, monuments, and Gaudí’s creative genius. Wander through a colorful wonderland of shimmering mosaics and whimsical sculptures inspired by animals and nature. Begun in 1900, Park Güell was so beloved by Gaudí that he made it his home. Climb the famous dragon staircase, explore its winding paths, and finish at the summit for breathtaking panoramic views across the city of Barcelona.
