Overview

Barcelona's Gothic Quarter is especially enchanting at sunset and after dark. With fewer tourists around, the atmosphere becomes even more magical, making it feel as though you've traveled back in time to the Middle Ages. We’ll visit a historic fountain, explore a Roman cemetery, and walk beneath the ancient city walls. At King's Square, we'll stroll through the narrow, romantic streets of the Jewish Quarter, following traces of destruction left by the Spanish Civil War. We'll uncover stories of saints, martyrs, kings, queens, and medieval gargoyles. Beyond the rich history, we’ll dive into fascinating legends of knights, princesses, and dragons. To top it off, we’ll indulge in a warm hot chocolate at a traditional churros café in the winter or treat ourselves to irresistible ice cream during the summer!

Meeting points

We meet outside the Hard Rock Cafe in front of Plaza Cataluña. The guide will be carrying a green umbrella. Metro lines L1 and L3 will drop you off there as well as FGC train and rail connections.

End point

Open in Google Maps

Square located in the center of the gothic quarter 3 minutes away from Via Laietana where you will find the Jaume I metro station (L4) line and 5 minutes away from Las Ramblas and Liceu metro station (L3). You can also take a cab in any of the two avenues including the same square.

I booked the gothic quarter night tour with Paulo and you can tell he took his time to make this tour special. He provided us with so much interesting and fun knowledge about the Gothic Quarter. He made sure to communicate with us beforehand regarding the rain and tried to make it an enjoyable experience for all. I attended this tour solo and felt comfortable and included the whole time. It was a great group experience and I would definitely recommend this tour!
