As any travel agency brochure will assure you, Barcelona is a very lively and diverse city. Its many historical and cultural epochs and the individuals that have contributed to these movements have made a deep impact. There are the ancient Roman remains and underground parts of the city, modernist architecture and art, and the more recent developments since the 1992 Olympic Games, to mention but a few of the city’s most notable features

Although there are no shortage of tour guide books and maps of Barcelona, a guided tour can be a great way of discovering some of the city’s landmarks and eccentricities whilst learning about their history. The tours on offer range from cycle and rollerblading tours to walking tours specialising in architecture, art, and gastronomic tours, and plenty more.

Travel agencies can help you cram in as much as possible into a short break, whether it’s a stag/ hen weekend, or a short stay business trip. They are also an invaluable contact when it comes to fulfilling those more unusual desires such as skydiving and bungee jumping.
