Overview

After docking in Barcelona (or starting from your hotel), explore the city's highlights and enjoy optional skip-the-line access to Gaudí's-masterpiece - the Sagrada Familia.

Start with a drive up Montjuïc Hill to admire Barcelona’s stunning Olympic monuments and the splendid city views, and proceed to discover more attractions such as the National Palace, Port Olimpic, Passeig de Gràcia and Plaza de España. Enjoy a guided walking tour in the most elegant part of Barcelona's Old City (El Born) and marvel at the magnificent Santa Maria del Mar. At the end of the tour, visit La Sagrada Familia to ogle at the exterior of Gaudí’s genius work. If wanted, you can end the tour here and get optional skip-the-line tickets for an audio-guided tour inside. If you prefer to go back to the cruise ship, your hotel, or the airport, enjoy a personal drop-off with your luggage to wherever you need to go!

If you wish to arrange skip-the-line admission, email us after booking.
