Private tours Barcelona


A Few Ideas For Private Tours In Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain’s second largest city after Madrid, is located on the north-eastern shore of the Iberian Peninsula. The city, built on a plateau, has a grand view of the Mediterranean Sea, and when taking private tours in Barcelona, the Port Vell area, with the largest aquarium in Europe, would be a good stop to include.



Private Tours or Group Tours

Private tours in Barcelona are different from group tours in several ways. In a group tour, you would join a number of random people, and the tour would follow a general preset itinerary. But with private tours in Barcelona, you would know everyone in your group, share a common language, and follow an itinerary planned by your group. This would be especially handy for those who have a particular interest in the city.



Art of Many Eras

When taking private tours in Barcelona, you will have a wide variety of itinerary themes to choose from. If art is your interest, the Montjuic art museum offers paintings, stone and metal sculptures and carvings, from Romanesque to Baroque.



Architecture of Guadi

If architecture is your interest, the work of the Spanish master Antonio Guadi can be seen throughout the city. Among his most famous works is La Pedrera, an apartment building turned museum, which has undulating balconies and roof, making it look as though you are seeing it through water. Also, La Sagrada Familia, an immense church begun in 1882 and still under construction, projected to be finished by 2026.

World Famous Beach

There are many other alluring attractions to recommend taking private tours in Barcelona, but most famous are the beaches. Called the “Best beach city in the world” by National Geographic, Barcelona’s beach was rated the best urban beach in the world in the Discovery Channel 2005 documentary film, Worlds’ Best Beaches.
