The beautiful city of Barcelona is comprised of a number of unique districts, and on this Barcelona walking tour, you will explore the fascinating Eixample district, revered for its 19th and early 20th century modernist buildings. Antoni Gaudi, Puig i Cadafalch, Domanech i Montaner, and Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia are among the many notable architects who contributed to this extraordinary Art Nouveau style.

After meeting your English-speaking guide at the tour office, you will head over to the Quadrat d'Or heritage district which is a true architectural showcase. Your Barcelona Art Nouveau tour cannot be complete without exploring the amazing modernist buildings designed by Antoni Gaudi.
