The Best Introduction to Gaudí and Modernism in Barcelona
Our tour will begin at the designated time in Plaza Cataluña, in the heart of Barcelona. Once we're all gathered, we'll begin our 2-hour walking tour of Gaudí's best works in Barcelona.
We'll delve into the epicentre of modernist Barcelona to reach our first stop - the so-called Manzana de la Discordia, which is where the majority of Gaudí's most famous works are found. We'll admire the splendour of Casa Batlló, the famous house of bones which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005.
As we continue on, we'll stroll past the Paseo de Gracia, where we'll see more of Gaudí's work, as well as other modernist buildings. From the natural forms of La Pedrera by Antonio Gaudí, to the elegance of Casa Lleó Morera, with its lavish sculptures and the Casa Amatller with its peculiar animals, you'll be amazed.
After appreciating the variety of modernist architecture at the Paseo de Gracia, the adventure will continue as we board the metro, heading towards an iconic symbol of Barcelona—the renowned Sagrada Família. Standing before this architectural masterpiece, we'll marvel at Gaudi's supreme expression of modernism.
Our tour will end after a total of 2 and a half hours, right in front of the Sagrada Familia.
