Absorb the best of Barcelona and experience its diverse architectural heritage with a panoramic drive, photo stops at key attractions and some time for independent exploration at the stunning Gothic Quarter. On the tony boulevard Passeig de Gràcia, drive past a feast of elegant buildings including astounding early 20th-century creations by idiosyncratic architect Antoni Gaudí, now UNESCO World Heritage sites. Pause at Gaudí’s unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Família, a colossal basilica begun in 1883 and another UNESCO World Heritage site that epitomizes its creator’s visionary style. You’ll rejoice in the basilica’s cacophony of twisting columns, fanciful spires and stained-glass windows, architectural miracles conjured by Gaudí and his successors. Back on your coach, drive through charming neighborhoods before ascending Montjuïc, a picturesque hill and key site during the 1992 Olympics. Alighting at a well-placed lookout, you’ll discover terrific views of Barcelona and its harbor, the city’s many marvels spread out before you. At the Gothic quarter, enjoy some free time for independent exploration and strolling its narrow streets and handsome squares, lined with medieval buildings, and scattered about with remnants of walls and other constructions from an earlier Roman city.
