    A delightful tour where the we learnt about the Catherderal and its history. The guide explained the history very well and took time to answer our questions. The views from the top of the Catherderal is outstanding, well worth visiting.

  • Barcelona Cathedral: A gothic exhibition set in stone

    Explore the Gothic architectural masterpiece of the Barcelona Cathedral as you gaze upon its towering spires, intricate carvings, and gargoyle statues peeking from above. The cathedral inside invites you to marvel at the elegant Catalan-style choir and nave, looked upon by high vaulted ceilings – all adorned with sunlight peeking through 14th century stained glass windows. If you look closely, you can see the windows adorned by religious depictions of that century. Your skip-the-line ticket includes an expert guide in multiple languages who will lead you out the Cloister – a serene 14th century courtyard surrounded by covered walkways, and further to the chapel of Saint Lucia.

    14th century time travel: where history meets VR!

    Soak in the 14th century Barcelona charm as you approach the Cloister — a medieval courtyard surrounded by limestone columns right outside the Cathedral. Wander Your guide will take you to the Chapel of Saint Lucia next, where you can learn about the 13 years of Saint Eulalia's life, who was martyred at an early age with 13 swan sculptures depicting her story.
