Day 9: Barcelona
After arriving in Barcelona set out on a panoramic visit of the city, first passing by Paseo de Gracia and La Pedrera. As you absorb the lively atmosphere explore the interesting examples of magnificent architecture, from 14th-century Gothic style to early 20th-century Modernism. Enjoy views from Montjuïc before arriving at today's featured highlight, an inside visit to La Sagrada Familia—Barcelona's most visited attraction—where you'll have a guided tour inside the crown jewel of Antoni Gaudí’s works.
Overnight: Hotel 1898

Day 10: Barcelona | Gothic Walking Tour
Today enjoy a walking tour through the narrow streets of medieval Barcelona, the core of the city, to where it all started 2,000 years ago. Discover the elegant and inspiring Catalan Gothic architecture—its charming corners and squares hidden away down ancient narrow streets. From here travel back to the Middle Ages visiting the Jewish Quarter and the El Born district. See popular locales, such as Placa Reial (Royal Square) and its Fountain of the Three Graces, Carrer Ferran, Plaça del Pi, Carrer Petritxol, Plaça Sant Jaume, Plaça del Rei (King’s Square) and Plaça Sant Felip Neri.

Also visit inside the Gothic Cathedral, with its resident flock of geese, and make a stop at the Santa Caterina Market. Finish with a walk through Moncada Street, passing the Picasso Museum toward the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar Church, one of the most beautiful in Barcelona. It is a magnificent example of Catalan Gothic architecture with soaring arches and stunning glass windows.

Day 11: Barcelona
The day is yours to enjoy Barcelona at your leisure. Perhaps visit the Picasso Museum to view some of the artist's early sketches and lesser-known works or take a pleasant stroll down Las Ramblas, Barcelona's most famous pedestrian boulevard. Venture to Parc Güell, an area originally designed by Count Eusebi Güell and Gaudi that was intended as a luxury residential community, but was instead turned into a public park and municipal garden.
