At first sight you'll see that Barcelona is a city with charming streets, busy people, and full of life. The old town, comprising the Gothic Quarter, the Ribera and Raval Districts, are famed for historical monuments, narrow streets, and a bohemian atmosphere; a perfect place for a stroll. The city also has the biggest selection of modernist architecture: a genuine open-air museum. Your tour takes you to the Sagrada Familia, passing through the Fisherman Area, the Columbus Monument, and the end of the famous promenade of La Rambla which leads to the Cataluna Square, considered the heart of the city. From here, you'll continue with a panoramic drive along the best-known boulevard in town, Passeig de Gracia. Along the way, your guide will point out some of the architectural masterpieces of Gaudi: La Pedrera House and Casa Batllo. Once you reach Diagonal Avenue you'll enter the area where stands the imposing Sagrada Familia Temple. From the outside, your guide offers an in-depth explanation of all the details related to the Temple. The next famous site on your tour is Montjuic Hill, which was developed with trade fair halls, sports installations, parks and gardens which are to be found all over the mountain; today this is the most important recreational area in Barcelona. You'll pass through the Olympic Ring and stop at the Mirador del Alcalde for a photo opportunity. Continue to the Gothic Quarter where you'll visit the 13th century cathedral. The cloister is an eclectic jumble of styles and lush vegetation where you can enjoy a relaxing walk through the Gothic Quarter. An infinite variety of history and art is ever present in the array of cobbled streets which always offer a changing and enriching vision of its many corners. Following your city tour, you'll have four additional hours to explore Barcelona on your own. Before you guide leaves you, he/she will give you suggestions for additional sites to see, museums to visit, restaurants for lunch ,and areas to explore before meeting the return transfer to your ship. Note: This tour returns to the ship and is only available for passengers embarking and disembarking in Valletta, Malta.
