A city defined by art and architecture
The architecture of Barcelona by true visionaries will amaze and inspire you
Barcelona and Catalonia are world-renowned for the stunning and imaginative creations of iconic local artists and architects such as Gaudí, Miró, Dalí and Picasso.
A guided Barcelona architecture tour is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the stories of the artists, craftsmen, and families who created these stunning and iconic buildings. Through your expert guide, you will be privy to details and stories of the passion, pride and politics that went into their creation. With sparked interest, you can then explore further afield and experience the modernist masterpieces in Reus, Figueres or Cambrils.
Local knowledge about museums to visit in Barcelona will ensure that you will be able to see first-hand the emblematic artworks, art galleries, and artists that showcase the creative spirit of Barcelona and Catalonia. Through their creations, you will definitely feel the rhythm and pulse of the city and region through the ages.
Modernisme is Barcelona's gift to modern architecture. Taking a walk down Passeig de Gràcia on a Gaudí architecture tour of Barcelona will have you staring up in wonder at the beautiful Casa Batlló or Casa Milà, two of Gaudís most famous creations and UNESCO World Heritage sites. There are, however, many other stunning and important architectural sites that will inspire and delight you both on this street and throughout Barcelona and Catalonia. Once you've seen their creations, you can practice your Catalan pronunciation with the names of the less pop-famous but equally influential architects: Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch.
Consider a Barcelona museum tour or exclusive access to the Palau de la Música, or perhaps a guided tour through modernist Reus, the birthplace of Gaudí, where you can visit his childhood home and gain a deeper understanding of the worldwide impact of his architecture.
Guided visits to the art museums on Montjuïc will pack amazing art with a walk through Barcelona's greenest space and provide sweeping views across the city. Or visit the nearby Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) to enter the stunning building and enjoy the temporary exhibitions and the permanent collection that showcases contemporary art in the region.
If you're still wondering which museums to visit in Barcelona, what about a visit to the Picasso Museum and Moco Museum? Our guides can take you on a private tour with special access to exclusive spaces unavailable to the general public.
