Ramble on La Rambla

Suggestion to explore on your own

Embrace the authentic Catalan spirit with an evening stroll along La Rambla on your first night in Barcelona. Spanning nearly a mile, this historic street is the sole avenue in the old part of the city, running parallel to the historical city wall. Unlike the bustling downtown, La Rambla offers a broad and spacious expanse, serving as an ideal meeting place for both locals and visitors alike. Flanked by bars, bistros, boutiques, and galleries on either side, La Rambla stands as a distinctive microcosm of Barcelona's charm.

Gaudí is synonymous with Barcelona. During this comprehensive guided tour around four different Barcelona neighborhoods, you'll have the chance to step inside three of the architect's most famous works and walk by a couple more. This carefully thought-out tour combines walking, public transport, and a private transfer to help you make the most of a day dedicated to Gaudí's genius. The morning tour starts at Casa Batlló, probably Gaudí’s most impressive residential project. Once inside, you'll be amazed at the smart solutions Gaudí found to solve architectural problems throughout the house. One of the highlights is the roof, designed to look like the scales of a dragon, one of Barcelona's symbols. Then, you'll stop to have a look at Casa Mila (La Pedrera) and Casa Vicens, both of which you can visit at a different time on your own, after the invaluable insights you'll have from your expert guide. However, if you opt for the afternoon tour instead, you'll be able to step inside Casa Vicens in the company of your guide. Up next is Park Güell, a fascinating park that feels like a microcosm of its own, where you'll be able to further explore Gaudí's genius and enjoy some of the best views in Barcelona, too. The tour ends at what must be the most iconic landmark in Barcelona: La Sagrada Família. The church will leave you speechless with the splendor of its facades and almost unreal interior.

San Sebastián is rightfully known as one of the most beautiful cities in northern Spain. It flourished in the early 20th century as a holiday resort for aristocrats and to this day attracts visitors to its famed beaches. San Sebastian is also a haven for foodies. A landmark for gastronomy, San Sebastian has more Michelin Star restaurants per capita than anywhere else in Europe! But it’s not all about white table cloths and silver service. The bars in the quaint Old Town have the most delicious pintxos – the local take on tapas – which you must try while in San Sebastian. San Sebastian’s best-kept secret might be its cider houses. The cavernous sidrerias are where the locals can be found of an evening.
