Gaudi & Modernisme Walking Tour
Antoni Gaudí’s incredible buildings are a monument not just to his distinctive genius but to the spirit of a generation. The 19th-century Catalan Renaissance saw the cultural rebirth of a nation that reached its peak with the Modernisme movement. Gaudí and his contemporaries took the spirit of the times and mixed modern techniques with traditional craftsmanship to enrich Barcelona.
The tour is much more than a series of photo opportunities (although don’t forget your camera!). We dig deep into the roots of the movement and explore the social unrest and political issues that the glossy guidebooks ignore.

Must See & Do in Barcelona
The City
Stylish Barcelona is a forward-thinking place, on the cutting edge of art, design and cuisine but with an equally rich past stretching back to Roman days. Whether you explore its medieval palaces and plazas, gawk at the Modernista masterpieces, shop for designer duds along its stylish boulevards, sample its exciting nightlife or just soak up the sun on the city beaches, you'll be hard-pressed not to fall in love with this vibrant city.
Top things to see
- La Sagrada Familia Gaudi’s unfinished Modernista masterpiece, this church must be seen to be believed
- Gothic Quarter/Barri Gotic The heart of the old town, it’s touristy but there is still magic to be found in the narrow alleys and winding streets.
- Park Güell High above Barcelona is Gaudi’s abandoned suburban housing development, which is now a sprawling park.
- Las Ramblas The pedestrianised, 1.2 km beating heart of Barcelona, it’s a great place to start your exploration of the city.
- Montjuic Once part of the city’s defences, now simply a hill overlooking the harbour, also home to the Museum of Catalonian Art, the Magic Fountain, castle, cemetery and more.
FOODS TO TRY:
Pa amb Tomaquet
The simplest but absolutely classic Catalan tapa - bread with tomato. This bread rubbed with garlic and tomato can be enjoyed with every meal, and even stacked with more veggies or meats for extra deliciousness.
HIDDEN GEM:
Bunquers del Carmel
The best panoramic view of Barcelona is not only free, it also happens to be where Spanish civil-war era bunkers and anti aircraft guns were installed. There’s not much else around so take your own picnic, chat to the locals and enjoy the view.
