Gothic Quarter: Hidden Squares and Legends
Roman walls, medieval squares and the stories locals tell in Barcelona's oldest neighbourhood.
Lose yourself (safely) in the maze of the Barri Gòtic. We'll find the remains of Roman Barcino, the Cathedral and its 13 geese, the square where the Inquisition held court, and the bridge that isn't as old as it looks.
You'll leave knowing why Barcelona is the way it is, and where to find the best vermouth nearby.
Meeting point

Worth every penny of the tip we gave. Can't believe it's free to book.

We booked on our first day and it set us up for the whole week. Loads of great food tips too.
