The Montjuïc & Panoramic Tour

With the Montjuïc & Panoramic Tour you get the privilege to soak in outstanding views and city landscapes while you drive along the Old Port, up Montjuïc hill, past the Olympic Ring and visit Poble Espanyol with some free time for lunch.

TOUR DETAILS

This tour combines two of Barcelona’s most beautiful and natural spots that are have become important places of culture and recreation:

- The Waterfront is a living example of how the old can be successfully combined with the new: the Old Port with its Dock warehouses and the Gothic Drassanes or shipyards have been preserved and incorporated into a remodeled recreational area, with the Aquarium, the World Trade Centre, restaurants and cinemas.

- Montjuïch Hill with its parks, art galleries, museums and the 1992 Olympic Ring also provide spectacular views of the city. You’ll visit the charming Poble Espanyol, an open air museum dedicated to the various Spanish villages and you’ll have the chance to stroll and have lunch during your free time there.

Waterfront

Old Port: Separated from the Olympic port by long beaches and the old fisherman's quarter that is called Barceloneta in Spanish

Columbus Monument: built in honor of Christopher Columbus in 1888, it is at the foot of the famous Rambla.

Gothic Drassanes: Medieval shipyards, which now house the Maritime Museum, are some of the finest examples of civil Gothic architecture in Europe.

World Trade Center: original imposing building by Henry N. Cobb whose aesthetic features are highlighted by the building being surrounded by water.

Montjuïc Hill

Mirador de Miramar Lookout Stop: This terrace is a balcony over the Mediterranean with spectacular views over the harbour and the whole city. The bus will stop here to let you walk around and get the best viewpoints.

Olympic Ring: Central sports facilities of the '92 Olympic Games, the complex includes the Stadium, the St Jordi sports pavilion by architect Arata Isozaki, the INEF by architect Ricardo Bofill and the Calatrava Communications Tower.
