Barcelona Old Town and Markets Sky Walk
Barcelona, Spain
Climb to new heights for a different perspective of Barcelona on this 2.5-hour panoramic rooftops tour. Enjoy amazing photo opportunities of the Catalonian capital as you gain exclusive entry to the rooftop of Barcelona Santa Maria del Pi bell tower. Look down over Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, Old Town and pretty plazas such as Placa Sant Felip Neri and Placa del Pi. This small-group tour has a maximum of 12 people, so you’ll have your guide’s complete attention.
Meet your guide in central Barcelona in the morning and head to Barcelona Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and St Eulalia. From street level, the church’s Gothic architecture is striking. Strutting through Old Town, pass the beautiful square of Placa Sant Felip Neri, which hides some of Barcelona’s secrets. Famed architect Antoni Gaudi was a parishioner here — nearby is the site where he was struck by a tram and killed. This tucked-away courtyard is also featured in the Woody Allen movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Continue along the long pedestrian street of Las Ramblas to Santa Maria del Pi, a 14th-century church in the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic). Ascend the bell tower to admire one of the best views of Barcelona, capturing its colorful jumble of rooftops, historic landmarks and bustling city squares. From here you’ll get a better sense of Barcelona’s Roman influence, as many medieval Gothic-style buildings come into clearer view. Toast with a glass of cava as you touch Barcelona's sky. Traverse a stretch of cobblestone streets in the historic city center to reach the El Born district, where imposing Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar stands. Climb to the roof and admire the city sprawling below your feet. Throughout your tour, your guide will explain Barcelona’s history and architecture, and point out important buildings and landmarks. Conclude your 2.5-hour tour back where you started.
My 4 star rating is an average of poor booking experience with an exceptional custom tour that we didn't actual book.

Visite exceptionnellement en VIP car seul du groupe!! Agence un peu difficile à trouver dans le dédale des rues du Barri Gothic. Ascension du campanile exigue mais qui vaut l'effort fourni avec un 360 exceptionnel sur Barcelone.
