Itinerary
Catedral de Barcelona
Admission included45 min
Begin this fantastic walking tour at the Barcelona Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St. Eulalia. The cathedral is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture at its finest. The Gothic Quarter is a must see when visiting Barcelona, situated in Barcelona's Ciutat Vella (Old Town). A walk through this neighborhood is a walk through European history.
You will also visit the cloisters where within the courtyard live 13 white geese, known as the Well of Geese, symbolizing the years of St Eulalia’s life before she was tragically taken away by the Romans.
Your entrance tickets also includes a visit to the top of the Cathedral for stunning views and photo ops!
Esglesia de Sant Felip Neri
Pass by
Continue your exploration of Barcelona's Old Town strolling through Plaza Sant Felipe Neri, home to the Church of Sant Felipe Neri, a hidden gem not many travellers get to experience. Learn how the church survived the Spanish Civil War, and how it was restored to its former self.
Placa de Sant Jaume
Pass by
Your guide will then walk you to the wonderful gem that is Place de Sant Jaume, once in the heart of the Roman city of Barcino, later known as Barcelona. Now the administrative district of both Barcelona and the region of Catalonia, the square is the home of the Barcelona City Hall as well as the Generalitat de Catalunya.
MUHBA Temple d'August
Pass by
Continue your stroll and walk by the impressive Temple of Augustus, dedicated to the homonymous Ancient Roman Emperor. Its columns, considered the pinnacle of Roman Architecture, reach a height of 30 feet and are as old as the city itself.
Placa Del Rei
Pass by
Continue onto Plaza del Dei, the very square Christopher Columbus met King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella after his first journey to the New World. Today the square is a cozy and picturesque gathering place with cafés, cocktail bars and restaurants.

Valentina is an excellent guide!!
Valentina is an excellent tour guide. Super knowledgeable and very friendly. We did the private walking tour of the Gothic Quarter followed by a private tour of the Picasso Museum. Both were excellent but the Picasso tour was outstanding!! Valentina was so great with the order in which we toured, the explanations and interpretations of techniques and periods during Picasso’s life. I can’t imagine we would have gotten the same experience if we’d visited without Valentina!!

Fantastic Tour of the Gothic Quarter
We had a fantastic time on our tour of the Gothic Quarter. Jordi was a great tour guide. We learned so much about the rich history of Barcelona, architecture, and the importance of the patron Saint Eulalia to the people of Barcelona. Jordi made the history of Barcelona come alive and it was a time we will never forget. Thank you, Jordi!
