What You Will Do
Get away from the bustling city & spend some relaxing time on the Olympic Mountain of Montjuïc - Barcelona´s green lung.
We will start at the exhibition ground of the World Fair of 1929. Ascending the hill, you will learn about this important event. While standing in front of a palace that houses the Catalan modern art museum you will have a photo moment with amazing views.
From there we will cross the Olympic Ring where the Games of 1992 were held. Passing by the Botanical Garden we'll have a glimpse into the famous cemetery of Barcelona. Once on the top we may have a break in a hidden beer garden under pine trees - if open & the weather allows.
The walk continues around the castle of Montjuïc to a breath-taking view point. Learn why the mountain has always been a natural watch tower guarding the city.
We will stroll down the slopes of the hill to the multi-cultural quarter of Poble Sec where we finish the walk in Calle Blai famous for its local tapas & pinchos bars.

Great tour with Christian

Christian did a wonderful job explaining everything, especially the four columns and the flag. He gave great information, was able to answer all our questions, and the walking tour had spectacular views of Barcelona.

Wonderful unique Barcelona experience

Christian welcomed us like old friends. We spent a wonderful few hours climbing and learning about the mountain. We visited many places we would not have been able to find ourselves. We were lucky to come on a day when the hidden beer garden was open and stopped for refreshments and some great music. Christian is very knowledgeable about Barcelona and was able to answer all our questions. He kindly provided restaurant recommendations and escorted us to a great strip for pinchos after our tour. We have been to Barcelona a few times but never visited the mountain. With Christian as a guide it was well worth the trip!
