Explore Barcelona’s history, culture, and wine in a guided tour through Arc de Triomf, Ciutadella Park, El Born, and the Gothic Quarter.
- Arc de Triomf - Starting point of the tour and one of the important landmarks of Barcelona. Built as an opening gate to an area that was completely remodeled for the 1888 World Fare. A great place to start with an introduction to our tour after which we will visit this wonderful area
- Parc de la Ciutadella - This is the biggest public park in the city of Barcelona and the favourite park to many Barcelonians. It’s our version of Central Park. The Monumental Cascade, the lake, remainings of the old military camp, some of the earliest Catalan Modernist-style buildings, and an indoor botanical garden, we will explore it all during our walk through the park, very relaxing
- El Born - Next, we will explore one of the oldest and most bohemian neighbourhoods in the city, El Born. We cover some important landmarks like the Cathedral of the Sea and the Born Culture & Memorial Center while we explore this neighbourhood further. El Born is famous for great food and some of the most spectacular tapas bars (of course we can give you lots of great recommendations), specialised wine & cocktail bars, finger-licking pastries, boutique shopping, art galleries and some of the most important museums in the city
- Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic) - Last stop, the Gothic Quarter, the oldest and most authentic part of the city. We will cover 2000 years of history as we roam through this maze of little streets. El ‘barrio gótico’ hides many treasures and we’ll travel from Roman times to the Middle Ages, and from Jewish history to Columbus… We will cover the layers of history in a part of the city that is literally a layer-cake, it’s easy to get lost over there but that’s why we will show you the way. Let’s time-travel together!
- Two different local Catalonian wines
- Expert local guide
During this experience, we will explore three distinct areas and numerous highlights. We blend our cultural and historical exploration with a local wine tasting. Welcome to Walking & Wining!
Our journey begins beside the magnificent Arc de Triomf, the site of the 1888 Expo. From there, we will proceed to the city’s largest public park, the stunning Ciutadella Park.
Next, we will visit the El Born area, renowned for its tapas bars, world-class wine and cocktail bars, boutique shops, art galleries, and more. It’s a very bohemian neighborhood.
Finally, we will explore the Gothic Quarter, the most authentic part of the city and the place where it all began! From Roman ruins to Medieval times, this area is a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with hidden treasures. We’ll travel back in time as we uncover 2000 years of history, concluding our tour in front of the Barcelona Cathedral with a celebratory toast. Salut!
Overall, it’s an enriching experience. Share the joy!
