Go Local-Montjuic Walk & Barcelona's Views
DETAILS
-
4
hrs Estimate Duration
Enjoy a leisurely, mostly downhill walk from Montjuic hill to historical Plaza España while admiring the lovely views and attractions in between. The lookout atop the hill presents a sweeping panorama of Barcelona all the way to the sea, which will give you an excellent understanding of how the city lays out. As you follow the descending footpath, you will soon pass the ramparts of Montjuic Castle, a 17th-century fortress that played a key role in the War of the Spanish Succession. The guide will elaborate on Barcelona’s history and most intriguing landmarks such as the iconic La Sagrada Familia basilica as you descend to the beautifully terraced Mirador de l’Alcalde lookout and on to the National Palace. The domed Spanish Renaissance-style building was constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition and now houses the National Art Museum of Catalonia. The nearby Plaza España was also built for the exposition. The bullring there is now a shopping center.
