DAY 1 IN BARCELONA WITH KIDS

Tapsy Tours

Start your first day in Barcelona with a tour designed especially for families with 5 to 12 year old children: the Tapsy Tour of Barcelona. A kid-friendly guide and a children entertainer will run a fun and cultural tour across some of the most interesting places to visit in Barcelona with kids: the Barrio Gotico, the Mirador de Colom, Plaça Nova and La Rambla!

Sagrada Familia

Take the L2 Metro and get to this magnificent temple designed by Gaudí. On the basis of the traditions of Gothic and Byzantine cathedrals, the architect ideated one of the most iconic works in Barcelona.

DAY 2 IN BARCELONA WITH KIDS

Park Güell

This amazingly designed park is probably the masterpiece of Gaudí. With its creative and colored structures, both kids and adults will have the feeling of being in a fairy tale.

Montjüic

Getting to Montjüic surely is a funny experience! In fact, after taking the Metro L3, you will have to get to the top through a cable car (and there is no extra charge to use it)! On the top of this hill, besides visiting Montjüic castle, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the city.
Before descending the hill, wait for the amazing sound and light show of the Font màgica de Montjuïc. It starts at different hours depending on the day, check the Magic Fountain lighting times on the Ajuntament de Barcelona website.
