Discover the soul of Barcelona! Join our free tour: from Citadel Park, the heart of the 1888 Exposition, to the relaxation of Barceloneta. A journey between history, nature and the sea to experience the city like a true local!
We will meet at the designated time in front of Barcelona's Arc de Triomphe and begin an itinerary that will take us on a discovery of the history of the Catalan capital. Let our free tour begin! In 1888 the Barcelona Expo was held, an event that marked a before and after in the Catalan capital. The Arc de Triomphe, in fact, was built precisely as the main entrance to the exposition!
Once here, we will enter the gardens of the Citadel, where we will be greeted by greenhouses of exotic and tropical plants.

We will then leave the park to explore one of the city's oldest train stations still in operation, França Station.
