Barna Highlights: exploring the city by bike

Meeting Point

At your hotel (in Barcelona or one of the surrounding suburbs) otherwise we start at Estacion Sants (train station)

Pickup from hotel

Hotel is located in or directly near the city of Barcelona. From there we will go to our first highlight

Montjuic - National museum of art

A beautiful place to start our city trip from. The view over the city is amazing!

Montjuic - Castle

A visit (entrance to the fortress is not included but can be visited as well) to the castle of Montjuic. Another beautiful viewpoint

Port of Barcelona

Look out over the port of Barna. See the hustle and bustle from the pilots, the cruise ships arriving and leaving plus big container ships bringing and taking all kinds of goods into and from Spain to their next destination

Highlights of Raval

La Rambla, Guell Palace (museum, entrance not included), Liceu (the famous opera house) and some time to get some fruit and/or pastries at the market

Highlights of Gotic

Santa Maria Basilica, Sant Jaume Square, Kings Square, Santa Maria del Mar, Barcelona Cathedral and the old streets with the laundry hanging out in the open are the main highlights of Gotic

GAUDI!

It´s time for Gaudi! The Passeig de Gracia and Placa Catalunya bring us to the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. We will see Casa Battlo and Casa Mila with time for a few pictures and eventually visit to the buildings (entrance tickets are not included)

La Sagrada Familia

More Gaudi! The famous basilica is a must-see in Barcelona. So, it´s also on our list

Lunchtime near La Sagrada Familia

We will enjoy a small lunch (included) for the remaining 1.5 hour of our trip

Glories

Business district in the heart of Barna. With the interesting shape of the Torre Glories (Glorious Tower...)

Arc de Triomf

Paris, London, Saint-Petersburg, Pyongyang, Bucharest, Vientiane, Las Vegas and Barcelona... What do these cities have in common? Yes, they all have a memorial arch (gate). Maybe Barna´s Arc is not as impressive as the one in Paris, yet, certainly worth the visit

Relaxing at Parc Ciutadella

IMO one of the most beautiful city parks, certainly that I have visited. It has the grandeur of the Jardin de Tuilleries in Paris and the atmosphere of the Vondelpark in Amsterdam. A place to have a rest and wander back to the many highlights of Barna that we have seen so far

Barceloneta (beach and boulevard)

The last twenty minutes of the day will bring us to one of the most popular beaches in the world. Think about Lido di Jesolo, Baie des Anglais in Nice and the Copacabana. We can enjoy a granizado, some xhurros or a nice cocktail while we are looking at all the people passing by. Perhaps the best place to end our trip for the day.

End of the trip

Ending Point

At your hotel (in Barcelona or one of the surrounding suburbs) otherwise at the most convenient public transport point/Gotic/Barceloneta Beach
