Self-Guided Walking Tours to Explore Barcelona Spain on Foot

Welcome to Barcelona – a city famous for its stylish Mediterranean vibe and breath-taking architecture. If you are visiting for the first time, our Barcelona introduction walk will take you to some of the most essential sights in the city. Make sure not to miss a stroll along La Ramba, the main downtown promenade, and take time to appreciate the historic beauty of the Gothic Quarter, filled with medieval buildings and trendy bars. You can also gain a more complete understanding of Antoni Gaudi's Masterpieces or Picasso's Catalan background in Picasso's Barcelona.

In all, we have prepared 13 self-guided walks for you to explore Barcelona, which cover everything from world-class architecture and museums to ample shopping and dining opportunities. Not only that, but you can also create your own walk with the attractions that interest you most and even set your hotel as the walk's starting point!
