Gaudi & Modernism Free Tour
Discover the heart of the Catalan Modernisme movement in Barcelona on this guided walking tour that will take you on a journey to see Spain's most important modernist symbols.
Gaudi Free Tour
The tour meets at 4 pm in Plaza Cataluña, in the heart of Barcelona, ready to begin this two-hour walking tour of modernist Barcelona.
The first stop on this free tour will be the so-called Manzana de la Discordia - which is where the majority of the most famous works can be found. In the surrounding area, we'll see the stunning façades of some of the jewels of modernist architecture: the natural forms of Casa Batlló and La Pedrera by Antonio Gaudí, Casa Casa Lleó i Morera, with its elaborate windows and majestic columns, the Casa Amatller...
Next, we'll hop on the metro to head towards one of the undisputed symbols of Barcelona. Can you guess which it is? That's right, we're talking about the famous Sagrada Familia. Once we're in front of the basilica, we'll marvel at the architecture of Gaudí's greatest expression of modernism.
We'll finish the tour at 6:30 pm in front of the Sagrada Familia.
