Best of Barcelona: Historic Core
99 min4.5 km11 stops
Walk the compact medieval heart that Barcelona was actually built around: from the grand crossroads of Plaça de Catalunya, down La Rambla's promenade, through the stone alleys of the Gothic Quarter to the cathedral and the seats of Catalan power, and across into El Born for the people's basilica and Picasso's early years, through the monumental arch built for the 1888 World's Fair, and finishing at the Cascada Monumental fountain in the park just beyond it. Start at Plaça de Catalunya, reachable by metro, train, or bus from anywhere in the city.
Gaudí's Barcelona: The Eixample Trail
52 min2.4 km6 stops
Walk the grid Barcelona built outward from its medieval core, following Antoni Gaudí's mark on it: from the rival modernista mansions of the Block of Discord, up Passeig de Gràcia and Avinguda Diagonal past the residential fantasies of La Pedrera, Casa Comalat and Casa de les Punxes, to Palau Macaya and finally the still-unfinished Sagrada Família. Start at Passeig de Gràcia, reachable by metro from anywhere in the city.
