If you're short of time and want to see as much as possible in one day, this trip includes many of Barcelona's top sights. Kick off with the Barça Immersive Tour, see the stellar Sagrada Familia, tour history-steeped Montjuic and see the famed ‘magic fountain'. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The Camp Nou is closed for renovations from 2023, but FC Barcelona has put on a show to make up for the stadium tour. The brand-new Barça Immersive Tour is an interactive multimedia experience about one of the world's greatest football clubs.'
After you've visited the Barça Immersive Tour, you'll head to Antoni Gaudi's unfinished modernist masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia church, to see its highly intricate façades. The exterior, which features a number of spires, towers and biblical scenes, incorporates elements of Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture. Next, you'll have some free time in the Port Vell area, where you can explore Las Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter, have a bite to eat or maybe visit the Aquarium.
After exploring under your own steam, you'll set off on a panoramic tour over Montjuic, a hill just southwest of Barcelona city centre. You'll pass by the Olympic Stadium – from the 1993 Summer Games – en route. The hilltop viewpoint gives you a fantastic rooftop perspective on the city below, so get ready to snap lots of photos. Round off your day with a stop at Plaça d'Espanya's ‘magic fountain' – an impressive water show that's a riot of sound and colour.
