Day 1:  

Find out more:

Parque de la Ciudadela

For some, this is the most beautiful park in the city. Until the 19th century, it was Barcelona’s only green space. Here, you can find an amazing fountain, a lake with a waterfall (cascada), a zoo, the Museum of Natural Science, and, of course, a citadel.

Arco de Triunfo

​This memorial arch was built in 1888 to serve as the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition. It is the most important design by Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas.

Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is a building in the heart of Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí and is considered one of his masterpieces. Originally built in 1904 as a remodel of an existing house, Casa Batlló has undergone refurbishments several times since then. (Entrance not included)

Casa Mila (La Pedrera)

Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera or "The Stone Quarry," references its unconventional rough-hewn appearance. It is a modernist building designed by Antoni Gaudí and built between 1906 and 1912. (Entrance not included)

Plaza Cataluña

This square is the heart of Barcelona, serving as a connection between the old and new town. It is known for its amazing fountains, statues, and proximity to main sights and shopping streets.

La Rambla

Marketplace: La Boqueria 
About two-thirds of the way down La Rambla, on the left, is one of Europe's largest and most famous food markets. The Boqueria's grand iron entrance leads to a bustling world of food that teems with both tourists and locals. The floors can be slippery with melted ice and fruit skins, and the stall holders are loud, but this all adds to the charm of the experience. You will find foods of all varieties and nationalities under one roof.

Puerto Deportivo

The Puerto Deportivo will be the final stop of our tour. This modern and beautiful marina is famous for its nice fish restaurants and luxurious boats. Both locals and tourists come to this area to enjoy the sea breeze and refresh their senses.

After lunch we are going to check-in the hostel and then you will have free time again. Here are some recommendations for your free time:

Sagrada Familia

Sagrada Familia, meaning "Church of the Holy Family," is a must-see in Barcelona. It was designed by the famous Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí. Progress has been slow due to the Spanish Civil War and a lack of funds, as construction depended on private donations. (If you want to enter the church, we recommend buying your tickets online before arriving.)

Torre Agbar

During our city tour through Barcelona, we will pass by this enormous skyscraper. It has 32 floors and is made of glass and aluminum. The architect, Jean Nouvel, selected over 40 colors for the facade to give it the appearance of reptile skin.
 

Barrio Gótico

The English name of this part of the city is the Gothic Quarter, which also includes the Jewish Quarter. The buildings remain largely intact since the Middle Ages, and the labyrinthine streets can be easy to get lost in. Key highlights include the Barcelona Cathedral, Plaça Reial, and numerous historic alleys and squares.

Parque Güell

Day 2:

In the morning, we will meet at the hostel and we will take the bus to go to:

Montjuic

The name of this beautiful green mountain means "Jewish Mountain" and it serves as Barcelona’s green lung. The views of the city from up there are breathtaking, as it lies right above the old town and the port. At the top of the mountain, we can find the Castle of Montjuïc, which used to be an old military fortress, a prison, and a torture center.

From there, we will take the bus back to the city center. Once there, you will have free time for the rest of the day to eat and enjoy the city on your own. Above are some of our recommendations. Of course, we have planned another amazing party for you that night, so be sure to get some rest when you have a chance.

Day 3:

In the morning we will leave Barcelona and travel to Zaragoza, where you will have free time.

ZARAGOZA

Some of the most important landmarks of Zaragoza are:

Plaza del Pilar 
Situated in the heart of Zaragoza near the Ebro River, Plaza del Pilar is a historically significant site enjoyed by both locals and visitors. It hosts a variety of public events throughout the year, including the renowned Offering of Flowers, where people from around the world gather to present flowers to the Virgin del Pilar. A visit to Zaragoza would be incomplete without spending time in Plaza del Pilar, where you can admire the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar (El Pilar), La Lonja (the former commodity exchange), City Hall, and the Hispanidad Fountain.

La Lonja
 La Lonja Palace, built in Renaissance style in the early 16th century, served as a commercial center for many years. Despite its exterior appearance, the inside features a spacious exhibition room with impressive ceiling architecture.

Casa del Deán and the Arch
 One of the city's most emblematic spots, this 13th-century building originally connected the cathedral with the dean's residence, the president of the chapter. The house and the Arch below it are among the most photographed sights in Zaragoza.

Puente de Piedra (Stone Bridge) 
Also known as the Bridge of Lions since 1991, when four lions (symbols of the city) were placed on its pillars, the Stone Bridge spans the Ebro River. The view from the bridge towards the Petril de San Lázaro provides a breathtaking glimpse of this monumental complex, another iconic location in Zaragoza.

Alcazar of Zaragoza 
The Alcazar of Zaragoza is a fortified medieval palace located on the banks of the Ebro River. It has served various purposes throughout history, including as a royal residence and military fortress. The Alcazar offers a glimpse into Zaragoza's military and royal past and is a significant part of the city's architectural heritage.
