The experience
Roman and medieval Barcelona, on foot through the Gothic Quarter and Old Town.
A local guide leads this 2.5-hour walk through thousands of years of Barcelona history, from a still-standing Roman city wall to the medieval Plaça del Rei, where the counts of Barcelona once held court.
The route also takes in Barcelona Cathedral, La Boqueria Market and Las Ramblas, before finishing in the Born district near the Palau de la Música Catalana — a natural point from which to keep exploring independently.
Both small-group and private options are available, for travellers who want the same route with a more personal pace.
