Island Cruises - Barcelona Cruises with Island Cruises

Things to do & places to see

This city has architectural delights to take your breath away, from Gaudi's unique architecture to the Nou Camp football Stadium. Spain's liveliest city, the streets are a dizzying contrast between Gothic splendour and glitz, and buzz with chat from the endless choice of bars and cafés. You'll find our Tapas Tour just as stimulating.

Barcelona is 2000 years old with a rich culture, so much so that the locals speak Catalan as well as Spanish.

The ship is moored in port.

Cosmopolitan capital

A guided coach tour of Barcelona with stops at the Gothic Quarter and the Spanish Village, a fascinating district in Barcelona that represents the different regions in Spain through handicraft markets, cultural displays and traditional Spanish foods. Then we head for the stunning La Sau Cathedral and Gaudi's Sagrada Familia with a final stop at the Monjuic Park for spectacular views of the harbour and the Grand Olympic Stadium.

Sporting Barcelona

Hosting the Olympic games raised the profile of Barcelona worldwide. The tour gives you the chance to visit the Stadium and see the Olympic Ring after first enjoying the Barcelona Football Club Nou Camp experience. This football stadium has its own museum of trophies, photos and team documents. You will walk down the tunnel to the side of the pitch, see the changing rooms, visit the press room, tv studio and have some time to browse and buy souvenirs from the shop in the grounds.
