Tour description

Barcelona , ​​capital of Catalonia, is known for its art and architecture. This city is called the capital of modernism because of the buildings that make up this metropolis. Stroll through its streets and let yourself fall in love with the works full of color, history and magic.


Guell park:
I'll wait for you at the door of Park Güell to enter this magical place known for its colorful ceramic mosaics and architectural elements integrated into nature. Gaudí permeates the entire park with that personal and eclectic style. In addition, this emblematic work was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
It is an important work by Gaudí, but it is also part of the group of art nouveau representations, better known as modernism.

Did you know that this park was designed as luxury residences? However, it ended up being known as a public park, which today is one of the most visited places in Barcelona. It is located on top of a hill and offers some of the best panoramic views of the city and the sea. It is worth stopping to enjoy them for a few minutes.

The entrance to this park allows you to enjoy a pleasant walk through the 12 hectares that form it. It should be noted that it is divided into two:

  1. Forest area , which has free access, without entry.
  2. Monumental zone , which only allows access to 1,400 people per hour.

Enjoying this park is enjoying the emblematic spaces that you can find inside. You will be able to enter seven small paradises, no more, no less, where you can enjoy a unique experience.

  • Would you like to take a tour of Park Güell in a more intimate way and without having to follow a group of 40 people?
  • Do you want to learn from a professional guide the anecdotes and curiosities about Gaudí's project and how it ended?

If the answer is yes, you are in the right place!!
