To begin with, it is important for you to know that some of the activities we will perform are paid, but do not worry, the price is suitable for all audiences. Although if you are looking for free excursions, you can take a look at our proposal of routes in the province of Barcelona, where you will find proposals and natural plans to make from an original relaxing getaway in Catalonia, to a getaway with children.

Our first stop is at the Castell de Montjuic, here we will enjoy all the history that houses this emblematic castle.

We will continue our plan until we reach the beautiful Mirador del Alcalde to appreciate its fountains and enjoy its views of the port and the city.

In the following activity we will get all the adrenaline out. In the Bizarre Scape Room you will have to try to get out, solving each one of the mysterious enigmas of this fun experience, in just one hour.

Finally, we will recover our strength at Güell Tapas Bar. A typical tapas bar in Barcelona, where we will enjoy the gastronomy and some local partying. So, without further ado, let’s go into one of the best routes to do in Catalonia if you are in Barcelona.

Montjuic Castle

The Castell de Montjuic is an initially pentagonal construction, created as a fortress around the year 1640 at about 170 meters high and where you can see excellent views of Barcelona and its maritime entrance.

If we talk a little history, this castle has been a great reference of defense in different times of independence of Catalonia, and today hosts one of the most important museums in the city, as the castle is preserved in perfect condition. Although in its various reconstructions it has been modified, its design can be seen today in the form of a star.

If you dare to visit this monument, it is important to know that the first Sunday of each month is free, otherwise you must pay 5 euros for the entrance.

Mirador del Alcalde

The Mirador del Alcalde is a construction of terraces, attractive gardens and ornamental fountains, which is located just before reaching the Castell de Montjuic or down the hill, we will find it on the right hand side. To get to this viewpoint as well as to the castle, you can take the Montjuic Cable Car which is located in the port area of the city.

Initially this building served as a balcony overlooking the city, providing 180º panoramic views of the port. From here the bourgeois could appreciate the city, serving also as a strategic point to protect the city from any invasion that could be faced. Today, you can admire a little more of the city and see each of the most important buildings of the city of Barcelona.

Bizarre Scape Room

To give a more fun and a little adrenaline to our plan, we propose you to spend an afternoon in Bizarre Scape Room . Especially if you like this kind of experiences where you put into play your skills and abilities to solve puzzles. We recommend it to share an evening with friends, the whole family or even to test your partner.

For this activity, we recommend you to visit the website or contact us in advance. This way you will be able to schedule a space and coordinate it with the rest of the visit.

Güell Tapas Bar
