Fascinating Stories of Old​

Humble beginnings.

On our Barcelona Free Walking Tour, the story of the city of Barcelona begins more than 2000 years ago with a small Roman fortress called Barcino, today the centre of the Old Town. Together we will for the most part walk the millennial old streets of this fortress.

It started more than 2000 years ago

Barcino is the roman barcelona, a walled city.

Next, you will learn about how Barcelona used to be a walled city until quite recently. The Barcelona Free Walking Tour will teach you a lot more about how the city evolved into one of the most important cities in the Mediterranean Sea as the main seaport of the Crown of Aragon in the Middle Ages.

A Medieval Capital of the Mediterranean Sea

The city of counts in the crown of aragon, the expansion.

Eventually, the Industrial Revolution arrived and with it a milestone event that took Barcelona out of the Middle Ages. As a result, a massive city transformation began turning Barcelona into an industrial centre.

Barcelona embraced the Industrial Revolution

Barcelona reborn and reinvented, the city of today.

Finally, you’ll hear about how modern Barcelona that you are visiting came to be. Another milestone event, equally important, transformed the city again, this time from being an industrial city to a modern one.

A Modern Marvel

An evolved modern city, an architectural walk with art, culture and a lot of history.

With this in mind, our multi-award-winning Barcelona Free Walking Tour will take you on a journey through narrow alleys, winding streets, charming squares, and time. You’ll be introduced to the architecture that named the neighbourhood, past famous pieces of public art and much more, while putting it all in a historical context in an easy to follow and entertaining way.

The Top Free Walking Tours in Barcelona

Barcelona’s picturesque plazas are perfect for exploring on foot

Many of Barcelona’s winding old backstreets and picturesque plazas are inaccessible to vehicle traffic, making them perfect for exploring on foot.

What better way to get some exercise and learn about Barcelona’s history, art and culture than on a free walking tour? After all, less money spent on a tour means more money for tapas later. Here’s Culture Trip’s round-up of the best free walking tours in Barcelona.

Free Walking Tours BCN

Barcelona has been through some momentous architectural changes over the years, and nowhere is this more evident than in the historic Gothic Quarter , right at the heart of the city. Free Walking Tours BCN offers a fun and informative walking tour of the district, taking in some important historical sights. From the old Jewish quarter to the majestic Gothic cathedral , you’ll learn everything you ever wanted to know about the history of Barcelona and Catalonia and what makes them distinct from other parts of Spain. The tour leaves from Plaça Catalunya every day at 10am, 11am and 3pm, and lasts around 2.5 hours.

Runner Bean Tours

Runner Bean Tours offers two free tours, so there’s something for everyone here. One tour has you covered for the history of the Gothic Quarter , while the second, the Runner Bean free Gaudí tour , gives you the lowdown on one of Barcelona’s most famous architects. You’ll find out what defined the movement known as Catalan Modernism and how Antoni Gaudí became one of its most important members. The guide will also take you past some of his most important buildings, including the world-famous Sagrada Família . The tour departs every day from the water fountain at Plaça Reial at 11am and 4.30pm during the summer and at 11am during the winter. The 2.5-hour journey includes a couple of trips on the Metro to reduce walking, so be sure to bring some change.

The Gaudí tour takes in the Sagrada Família

Feel Free Tours

There are two routes to choose from with Feel Free Tours: the Old Town Tour of Barcelona and the Gaudí Modernism Walking Route . As well as showcasing the masterpieces of Antoni Gaudí, the Modernism route will take you past some other, often overlooked but exceptional work by fellow Modernist designers. It will also delve into the urban planning ideals of the 1856 Cerdà expansion plan that advocated (at the time) revolutionary ideas around hygiene and mobility, and eventually led to the building of the Eixample district – a must for anyone interested in the history of urban planning. Tours run every day of the week pretty much all year round, and last around 2.5 hours. Groups of no more than 15 people depart from in front of the Hard Rock Café in Plaça Catalunya.

The Gaudí Modernism Walking Route takes in buildings such as Casa Batlló

Travel Bar tours start and end at their own bar, just off Las Ramblas, near Liceu station. Grab a beer, cocktail or sangria and get to know your fellow group members before or after the tour. The two-hour free walking tour is another great general walk of Barcelona’s most impressive sights, with everything from historic architecture to street art to keep you engaged along the way. Tours are held daily and start at 11am, 1pm and 3pm, but despite their frequency, booking is essential.

Aerial view over Las Ramblas

Barcelona Street Style Tour

Barcelona is home to a thriving street-art scene , so the free walking tours from Barcelona Street Style are a must for fans of urban art. With two options on offer, covering either the El Born neighbourhood and the Gothic Quarter or the colourful district of El Raval , these tours showcase the best of the city’s contemporary city murals. Led by guides who are very knowledgeable about techniques and styles, as well as artists currently active on the local scene, these tours are a fabulous way to learn more about an art form that most of us see every day but may know little about. The El Born and Gothic quarter tour departs at 2pm each day, while the El Raval tour heads out at 10am and 4.45pm. Advance booking is a must.

Take a tour of the winding streets of El Raval

Be Local Tours

The Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) was one of the most dramatic conflicts in the history of Barcelona, and one that still has resonance today. The Be Locals Tours Civil War Free Walking Tour takes you back in time to relive the dark days of the conflict and show you places and monuments still visibly scarred by the fighting. The guides illustrate the historical significance through old photographs and stories of how normal people lived during the war, which makes this an essential tour for anyone interested in this important period. The walk departs every Friday at 11am from Plaça Catalunya; booking online is highly recommended.

The Ruta del Modernisme

Fancy yourself as a tour guide? Well, the Ruta del Moderisme might just be for you. This self-guided tour winds through the city, and takes in more than 100 examples of Barcelona’s acclaimed take on Art Nouveau. The tour will introduce you to the works of Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch, the architects who made Barcelona the world capital of Modernism. Points of interest on the route are marked by round red paving stones on the pavement. To keep this tour completely free, you can follow the route and read the descriptions of the buildings on the dedicated website . Alternatively, if you don’t mind spending a bit of money, the accompanying guidebook is €12 and gets you discounted entry to many of the sights along the way. You can buy the guidebook from the Güell Pavilions or the L’Institut Municipal del Paisatge Urbà.

What Free Walking Tour to Take in Barcelona, Spain

O ne of the best ways to quickly get to know a city you are visiting for several days is to take a free walking tour when you first arrive. Especially across Europe, there are a handful of companies that provide free walking tours in different cities.

These free tours provide a more interactive and historical approach to a city than you would normally get just walking around with a printed travel guide.

Barcelona, Spain has an endless list of places and museums to visit and photograph. To get a better overview of the city we joined the free walking tours with Generation Tours .

➳ Find all:   Hotels in Barcelona

The Best Free Walking Tours in Barcelona:

What you will visit in the free tour of barcelona:.

The first walking tour we took is the free walking tour of Barcelona . Our tour guide was named Alvi, an amazing history and food enthusiast. The tour starts at 10:30AM or 3:00PM daily, on the steps of the Gothic Cathedral on Pla de la Seu.

Plaça Sant Felipe Neri

The Saint Felipe Neri Plaza is a small and quiet square near the Gothic Cathedral. The square boast a church, hotel, beautiful fountain in the middle.

This plaza has important history from the Spanish civil war. During a bombing of the city, a bomb fell in the square and did not immediately explode. The church also runs a school, so after the bomb fell, everyone tried running to a nearby bunker. As the schoolchildren were running by, the bomb exploded, killing two adults and 40 kids

The plaza is also featured in Woody Allen’s film Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

Mount Taber is the home to the first Roman settlement in the city. The term mount is used loosely, as it is only 16.9 meters above sea level. Don’t get too tired on the hike up.

At the summit you can see some 2000 year old Columns of the Temple of Augustus Barcelona, in a very small courtyard.

Baixada de Santa Eulalia

Saint Eulalia is the co-patron saint of Barcelona, who according to the story, at age 13 was tortured and killed for being catholic.

Legend has it that this street is where Saint Eulalia was rolled down a hill in a wine barrel full of glass and nails. When she was taken out of the barrel at the bottom alive, it was decided to finally kill her.

With an interesting history, it is now just a street with a hill.

Plaça del Rei

The King’s Plaza is primarily surrounded by the Grand Royal Palace. Home to the Kings of Aragon, which features one giant room the size of the palace, used for state presentations.

It is remembered as the center of the Spanish Inquisition, where public killings would take place.

Plaça de Sant Jaume

Town Hall of Barcelona, Spain

St James Square is the center of old city Barcelona. It served as a Roman forum 2000 years ago, and to this day serves as the center of laws for the region, with the Palace of the Generalitat of Catalonia and the City Hall on either side.

Castellers (Human castle)

Monument to the Castellers

Human castles are the most well known Catalan sport. Groups work together to build the tallest human tower. The small child on the top of the tower needs to show four fingers, for four red stripes on the Catalan flag.

The main Castellers event takes place on September 24th, with teams from around the region competing to have the tallest and best built tower.

To Catalonia, this sport represents themselves. It stands for solidarity of the region. There are many people holding up the few on top, along with the youngest member of the group on top.

Carrer Avinyó

The Carrer Avinyó is one of the oldest streets in the center of Barcelona. During the 19th century it was the center of the Bohemian lifestyle within the city. It is now home to many boutiques and great cafes and restaurants.

Pablo Picasso’s father taught at the School of Fine Arts that used to be open there. The arts school building now sits unused, until there is money for the city to pay for renovations. This street is where Picasso was truly influenced.

Carrer de la Mercè

Carrer de la Mercè  3 was home to the  Picasso family from 1896 to 1904. The street used to be highlight of bar and tapas in the city, but has declined in recent years.

Nearby is La Tasca del Corral, known for its custom vermouth. We were told to ask for the  Alvi special (The name of our tour guide), he didn’t say what it was though. 

What you will see in the Free Gaudi and Modernism Tour:

The second free walking tour we took was about the influence of Gaudi and the modernism movement on the city of Barcelona. The tour also starts at the steps of the Gothic Cathedral at 2:30PM daily.

To read more about Antoni Gaudi, check out our  8 must see Gaudi buildings in Barcelona post.

4cats Restaurant

4cats Restaurant has operated in one way or another since 1897. It became the meeting place for the artists at the center of modernism. The building itself also exemplifies modernist architecture.

On modernist buildings the underside of the balconies are covered in tiles. The more colorful the tiles are, the richer the owner was. Also, the building always had dragons incorporated somewhere.

Palau de la Música Catalana

The Catalan Music Palace was built as a landmark in the cultural and social life of Catalonia finished in 1908. The stained glass ceiling entirely illuminates the entire theatre by daylight. Therefor shows had traditionally taken place in the afternoon.

The building is covered in many mosaics inside and out.

Our tour guide said that the narrow streets around the music hall are home to many good food joints.

Passeig de Gracia

Passeig de Gracia is described as the Champs de Lycee of Barcelona. It is now home to many global upscale business and expensive properties. The Art Nouveau style benches that line the street were originally heated with coal in the winters, like an oven.

Along the street there is a block with three houses in a row by different famous modernist architects.

  • Casa Lleó-Morera by Lluís Domènech i Montaner
  • Casa Mulleras by Enric Sagnier
  • Casa Amatller by Josep Puig i Cadafalch
  • Casa Batlló by Antoni Gaudí

Casa de les Punxes

This large Gothic castle is a beautiful building on the outside. It is a private non-profit building, so you must enjoy this one from the outside!

La Sagrada Familia

The last stop on the walking tour was at Gaudi’s most famous work, La Sagrada Familia church . For our complete review of this architectural masterpiece, check out our Gaudi guide .

Backpacker Night Out

For evening fun, Generation Tours also hosts a Generations Night Out pubcrawl. The night began at GaelicBCN, a small bar, with one tapas and beer or sangria.

The event cost €15/person, but if you pre-order the tickets at the end of the walking tour, you get an additional drink and tapas.

We then took the metro to a small bar near the water. It was a quieter bar, to talk to the others in the group for an hour or so. You get a free shot in the way in and out.

We walked to a more happening bar, where we made a quick stop for another free shot.

Our night, we ended at the  Shoko Barcelona nightclub. The one downside of this club from our experience is the bathroom. Even by 1am, relatively early for nightlife in Spain, the bathroom was not a pretty sight.

Regular entry to Shoko is €12 for 1 drink, €18 for 2, and €24 for 3. So, if you would like to end your night at the club, going on this pubcrawl is totally worth it.

Other than that, I would suggest this pubcrawl if you are looking for an adventure out at night, but do not have any friends in Barcelona to do it with. If you have your own group, go out on your own, set your own pace and have fun!
