Activities, Tours on July 22, 2012 9:05 am

Barcelona is a traveller’s dream city. From architecture and culture to food and shopping, the city is a vast mosaic of possibilities demanding to be explored. So much to see and do! And Barcelona City Tours is a great way to get a feel for the city.

SEE. HEAR. ENJOY.

With two routes to choose from you will have the opportunity to see all the famous sites such as Sagrada Familia, the Passeig de Gracia, the Olympic Village, the beaches, Montjuic (home to the Olympic Stadiums) and, for all football fans, the famous Camp Nou, home to F.C. Barca. The 12-language audio-tour system allows you to plug in and hear all about your surroundings as you enjoy the ride through the picturesque streets of Barcelona. These tours are great for first time visitors looking to discover the capital of Catalonia. Instead of overcrowded metros and the worry of getting lost, you can sit back and work on your tan while you decide which sights you would like to see close up.
