Tuesday April 20 2027Description
Two cities, two temperaments. Barcelona, squeezed between sea and mountains, lives to the rhythm of Gaudí and La Rambla. Madrid, a younger European capital than one might think, shines around its squares and great museums. This 10-day trip gives four nights to each, linked by train.
In Barcelona, a panoramic city tour, a guided walking tour of the Barri Gòtic and admission to the Sagrada Família are included, with a day to climb Montjuïc or wander Park Güell. In Madrid, a panoramic tour opens the door to Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, the Prado and Retiro Park.
Each day your tour escort offers to lead the way on foot or by public transit, but nothing stops you from heading out on your own. Hotels are chosen close to the sights, so everything is easy.
A trip for those who like to walk, look around and sit on a terrace at just the right moment.

-Panoramic tours of Barcelona and Madrid
