You’ll then enjoy a 30-minute visit at Gaudi’s bizarre Parc Guell, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then it’s on to Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) Cathedral, Barcelona’s most famous landmark. You will have around 30 minutes to explore this notable structure.

You will also visit Barcelona’s Monumental Bull Ring and the famous Cathedral Sta Maria del Mar, the only complete Gothic church in Catalonia. The tour ends near the Picasso Museum which exhibits works from the world-famous painter’s delightful blue and pink periods (ticket not included).
