Barcelona 3-Hour Private Walking Tour of Modernism and Gaudi
Barcelona, Spain
Discover Barcelona's most extravagant modernist buildings on this private 3-hour walking tour. Explore the Eixample district and admire works by the famed Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, including La Sagrada Familia and Casa Batlló. Learn about the sources of his inspiration and the motifs he included in his works. Discover other influential architects of the period, too, such as Lluís Domènech i Montaner, who created the Casa Lleó Morera.
At the designated time, meet your private guide at Plaça Catalunya in the center of Barcelona.
After a short introduction, set out on your walking tour of the surrounding neighborhoods. Listen as your guide tells you about the life and work of Gaudí. Learn about his sources of inspiration and frequent use of religious motifs as you head for his most famous work, the still unfinished La Sagrada Familia. See other works by Gaudí, as well, including the surrealist Casa Batlló and the La Pedrera apartment building.
Discover the work of more modernist architects as you stroll through the city. Walk down Passeig de Gracia in the Eixample district, home to Casa Lleó Morera by the influential Lluís Domènech i Montaner, as well as Josep Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller. In just three hours, gain a deeper understanding of this seminal period in architecture and its last influence on Barcelona.
Make sure to ask any lingering questions before concluding your tour back at the original departure point.
Goran was friendly and organized. He explained the various buildings and places we saw and made the walk a very interesting one. His English, at first, was a little difficult to follow - but it didn't take long to figure it out.
