You can change routes and learn about the history of the city through a comfortable audio system with earphones, in multiple languages.
Wander around the ancient winding streets where many of the buildings date from medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona and visit Gaudi's famous Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo among other beautiful places. From an open-top double-decker bus, you will get the chance to see the major sights of Barcelona. The tour will highlight all the best sights to see in the city, and you can hop on and off at your convenience at more than 30 stops.
Upon boarding you will receive a map and guide with all the stops of each of the routes, and discounts for different establishments in the city.
