Barcelona Urban Adventures

Day tours, with a local


Prepare to be surprised every day! Barcelona is a melting pot of traditional Catalan and international trends, and thus boasts a very dynamic and vibrant day-to-day life. It's a truly passionate, colourful, lively and welcoming city just begging to be explored. With Barcelona Urban Adventures you'll get to experience the real heart and soul of Barcelona on our uniquely designed Barcelona tours.


The sheer number of Barcelona highlights may seem overwhelming. Amongst the “not to be missed” on a Barcelona tour are Antonio Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia, his Casa Mila and Park Güell, Las Ramblas, the Cathedral, the Picasso Museum, the Barrio Gótico, and simply enjoying the buzz of this marvellous city with a long café con leche in one of the hundreds of terrace cafés.

 

Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city that combines the past, present and future. it is one of the finest cities in Europe, elegantly embodying architecture of all styles and centuries. Apart from having one of the best preserved Gothic style city centres, the city is full of marvellous buildings, with Gaudí and other modernistas bringing together the richest selection of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. Gaudi‘s Sagrada Familia and the multicoloured Torre Agbar are two fine examples from both eras. World class museums display everything from impressive Romanesque frescos and the joy of Joan Miró, through to gold from pre-Columbian America and the first works of Picasso.

 

Whilst Barcelona is full of treasures in art and architecture, many prefer to develop their talents differently, such as the young people skating the squares and streets of the city, or those in the kitchen. It seems that in Barcelona it’s always time to have lunch or dinner and the traditional and contemporary Catalan cuisine, considered one of the best in the world, offers a large amount of culinary sensations. Chef Ferran Adriá is considered one of the world's best chefs and tops the European Restaurant Ranking. His restaurant 'El Bulli' has three Michelin stars and is regarded as one of the best restaurants in the world.

 

Here at Barcelona Urban Adventures, we want you to experience the real energy of day-to-day life in Barcelona. Be sure to check out some of our Barcelona tours for some truly great travel adventures!

Our guide, Matthias, was great. It was fun to spent the time with him. The only negative thing to mention was the female employee from urban adventures who was on the phone when I called because the guide was late. She was very impolite and unfriendly and not willing to help. Fortunately the guide arrived after a while and explained his lateness. He just extended the tour which wasn't a problem for the participants.I would suggest that urban adventure leaves the phone number from the guide in future than we don't bother the female employee.

The cycling tour was fantastic and anyone can do it. Barcelona is flat and there are plenty of stops so you don't get tired. The guide was very good and his knowledge of the city is wonderful. Thank you so much I will recommend this Urban Adventure to everyone.

A great way to see a beautiful city! Cycling around with Charlotta (hope I got the spelling right) I really started to feel like a local. The cheese shop that we stopped at for tapas was amazing - I would never have found it on my own.
