Plaza de Catalunya
Discover the heart of Barcelona with this engaging walking tour starting at the iconic Plaça de Catalunya. Known as the city’s central hub, this lively square is the perfect starting point to explore the rich history and vibrant culture of Barcelona.
Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
Welcome to the Gothic Quarter, the oldest part of Barcelona. As we walk these narrow medieval streets, imagine the footsteps of Romans, kings, and rebels echoing beneath us. You'll see a blend of Roman foundations, Gothic arches, and 19th-century restorations. Look around—this area is full of secrets. Here’s where the old Roman forum once stood, and just a few steps away, we’ll pass under the famous Bishop’s Bridge. This is also where Picasso lived and studied. Notice how the architecture reflects centuries of change, yet the spirit of the city remains. I’ll point out some hidden symbols and stories as we go—many of which most tourists completely miss.
El Born
Now we’re in El Born, one of the most atmospheric and artistic neighborhoods in Barcelona. This area was once a medieval marketplace, and today it's known for its bohemian flair, artisan boutiques, and local bars. As we walk these cobbled streets, notice the narrow layout—designed long before cars. You’ll hear stories about how merchants lived and worked here, and how El Born was once a stronghold of Catalan resistance. I’ll point out important landmarks like the old trade guilds and the nearby Born Cultural Center, which reveals ruins from the 1700s. It’s one of the best places to feel the soul of the city.
