Things to do in Barcelona, Catalonia: The Best Multi-day Tours
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

Definitely the best tour I have ever been on. Katrina is so knowledgable and passionate about street art, which really made the tour a great experience. As someone fairly new to the street art scene, I really learned a lot! The fact that you get to meet the gallery owners and artists during the tour really makes the tour complete and impressive. This is something everyone should do on their Barcelona trip! I would put it way above all of the typical sites like Sagrada Familia etc.
