Barcelona Tour Packages

From the serene beaches to the majestic peaks each destination you visit speaks of a story long engraved in the cracks of an ancient monument, behind the fresh paint of a house in the old street and in the smiles of those who live there. A tour presents a chance to not only immerse yourself in sightseeing but also a chance to connect with people from different walks of life. 

Out of all the cities in Spain, Barcelona is a treasure trove. Located on the northeast corner and as the capital city of one of the 17 autonomous regions in Spain Catalonia, Barcelona is a city that prides itself on its Catalan culture and identity. Throughout the decades, this vibrant jewel of Europe has beckoned travellers from all over the world with its rich tapestry of culture, neo-gothic architecture designed by master architects Antoni Gaudi and Jean Nouvel, Roman ruins and sun-soaked landscape. These treasures slowly unveil themselves once you begin to tour Barcelona city. 

Nestled between the hikable Mountains and the Mediterranean, Barcelona is the perfect place to wind down. With hidden alleyways, gothic cathedrals, rustic walls of the many castles scattered throughout the city, tapas and the generosity of the locals, a Barcelona tour is a must.

Places to Visit in Barcelona

Let us check out a few of the best places to visit in Barcelona

La Sagrada Familia

A tour of Barcelona is never complete without immersing yourself in the whimsical world of Antoni Gaudi and his architecture. La Sagrada Familia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a church that holds so much significance for Catalans and the people of Spain. Though it was initially intended to be a simple catholic church, with its tall spires, intricate facades, and miniature statues of Jesus, Mary and Joseph lining the front tower, La Sagrada Familia was declared a basilica in 2010. Despite its still-under-construction status, the basilica is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Barcelona.

Casa Batlló

A UNESCO-listed site of Barcelona, Casa Batlló is another one of the architectural jewels that Antoni Gaudi designed. This once private home of Josep Batlló i Casanovas, a textile industrialist is now a popular tourist stop in Barcelona. A place for seekers of architectural marvels and those who simply like to wonder about the mysteries behind uniquely designed buildings. Like each one of Gaudi’s designs, Casa Batlló and its undulated facade, irregular oval balconies, the arched rooftop made with the likeness of a dragon’s back, everything shows a glimpse into the whimsical world.

Museu Picasso

Barcelona is a city that pulsates with culture, art and history. And one gem that will truly stand out on your tour to the city of Barcelona, is the Museu Picasso. A tribute to the iconic Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso. A haven for art admirers, Museu Picasso holds an extensive collection of 4251 pieces including the paintings, sculptures, drawings and engravings by this 20th-century artist. Since the artist spent many years in Barcelona, the museum carefully coveys Picasso’s connection with the city of Barcelona during the period.

La Pedrera

Locally known as the Casa Milà, La Pedrera is a testament to the innovative mind of Antoni Gaudi. This once-private residence turned UNESCO World Heritage site is now the headquarters of the Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera, an independent foundation working towards improving the lives of people living in Barcelona. La Pedrera also houses the Espai Gaudí, a museum that showcases miniatures of the buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi and delves more into his life and secrets.

Montjuïc

The birthplace of the city of Barcelona, Montjuïc is located on the Mediterranean and the Llobregat River. This green hill is a great place for sightseeing on your tour of Barcelona. Overlooking the city, the hill has been a popular destination with structures of palaces, gardens, sports stadiums, and museums. Montjuïc is like a small city in itself and offers so much to every visitor. Travellers can start their exploration inside the castle, study the paintings and sculptures of Joan Miró placed inside the Joan Miro Foundation or spend an evening enjoying the al fresco performances at the Teatre Grec.

Whatever travel pleasures you seek, we are sure a tour to Barcelona will leave an indelible mark on your heart.  

Best Time to Visit Barcelona

Located on the Mediterranean coast, Barcelona experiences year-round pleasant weather with mild winters and warm summers. However, the city observes its peak seasons from May to August.

If you wish to enjoy the best of events, music shows, festivities, and holiday traditions, visiting in June, especially during the summer solstice will be a treat. During July and August, you will see Barcelona’s streets and beaches packed with tourists and locals alike. If you plan to visit during these months, it is recommended to make bookings months in advance. 

As the temperature begins to dip, winter and early spring is the perfect time for budget travellers to book a Barcelona tour. November to February calls for affordable accommodation and fewer crowds. It is the best time to slow down and take in the views at your own pace. Though with the cooler temperatures, you may want to hold off on taking a dip in the sea, the soft sun shining during this off-season will invite you to spend more time on the beaches and streets of Barcelona. You may also want to catch the Spring Festivals and Carnivals in the early spring weather of March. 

But if you are a mind of enjoying the best of both worlds, March to April and September to October will be your best bet. These off-season months are best known for romantically pleasing warm weather, museum marathons, concerts, bazaars and a relaxed vacation.
