Suggested Itinerary

Experience Barcelona with ease and comfort in your own private car, exploring its historic sites, iconic landmarks, and hidden corners. Your Welcomer will be your local guide, sharing historical facts, essential details about each stop, and personal insights to help you fully immerse yourself in the Spanish lifestyle.

Begin by visiting one of Barcelona’s most admired features—the architectural creations of Antoni Gaudí. While his influence is visible throughout the city, the best place to take in his genius is 1La Sagrada Familia, one of Barcelona’s most celebrated attractions. You may also enjoy a short walk along 2Passeig de Gracia to see two of Gaudí’s most recognized masterpieces, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. Continuing onward, you’ll encounter the impressive 3Arc de Triomf as well as two of Barcelona’s most notable squares: Plaza de España and 4Plaça de Catalunya, a charming, sculpture-filled square with inviting shops and cafés.

A true highlight of the city awaits at 5La Rambla Street. Celebrated poet Federico García Lorca once described La Rambla as “the only street in the world which I wish would never end,” capturing its vibrant spirit. Nearby, you will make your way to Barcelona’s famous 6Gothic Quarter, a neighborhood rich in Roman and medieval architecture—an ideal place to pause and admire the historic surroundings.

Moving toward the coast, you’ll stop at the striking 7National Palace and 8Montjuic Hill. You will also pass the iconic Olympic Ring, host of the 1992 Summer Olympics, before heading to the shoreline for your final seaside stops: the Olympic Port and Vell Port, both offering beautiful sea views and traditional architecture.

To complete your sightseeing experience, it is recommended to end at Tibidabo Hill, the highest point in Barcelona at 512 meters. From its summit, you’ll enjoy breathtaking 360° views of the entire city. Alternatively, you may choose to visit the colorful 9Park Güell or take a relaxing stroll along La Barceloneta, Barcelona’s lively coastline.

At the end of your ride, your driver will drop you off comfortably at your accommodation.

*Don’t forget to try some tapas, Spain’s most iconic dish—there are countless tapas bars throughout the city.
