Barcelona Walks: Gotic

Published on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 by Michelle Onorato

No visit to Barcelona is complete without exploring Barri Gotic - the oldest section of the city. Barcelona Walks hosts a two hour guided walking tour through the heart of the Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter) where ancient architecture surrounds you in the most romantic setting. Here Roman ruins, maze-like alleyways, chapels, and palaces greet visitors while boutiques, cafes, art, and museums stir up imagination and creativity.

The Gothic Quarter will please those looking for a historical escape within a modern city while an experienced tour guide creates a one-on-one intimacy with the use of individual headsets.

Tour goers, be prepared to fall in love with the romance of royalty, feel saddened by the heartbreak of tragedy, and stay on the lookout for Hollywood filmed locations.

English speaking tours depart daily at the Information Office located in Placa de Catalunya at 10am. Catalan/Spanish speaking tours depart every Saturday at 12pm. Prices for adults are €12 and children ages 4 - 12 are €5. Tour-goers are asked to arrive at least 20 minutes early for check-in.

*Please note that space is limited, so try to make reservations in advance.

To book your reservation, go to www.barcelonaturisme.cat or call +34 932 853 832.

Guy and Girl Travels Tip:The Information Office at Placa de Catalunya is located underground, so you have to take the escalator down as though you were heading into a subway. Once inside, you’ll find many tourism brochures. This is a great place to book tours or shows ahead of time.
