What to expect
Your guide will meet you and lead the group on foot through central Barcelona, stopping at key Modernist facades and discussing the designers' approach to form and ornamentation. You'll spend time outside each building, examining balconies, mosaics, ironwork and rooflines up close. The tour concludes at Sagrada Familia with your metro ticket included; you're free to enter independently or return another time. Pace is steady but not rushed, with pauses for questions and observation. Expect crowds around major landmarks, especially mid-morning.
Good to know
The route is entirely flat and accessible for wheelchairs and prams. Wear comfortable shoes for roughly 2.5 hours of walking. Bring water and sun protection. Most photography is possible from the street. Your metro ticket covers entry to Sagrada Familia but guided interior tours are separate.
