Guided Tours & Walks
There are many ways to get a more in-depth look at the city, whether on a
specialised walking tour through the Ciutat Vella, on a bicycle excursion
around the centre or on a hop-on, hop-off bus tour all across town.

Walking Tours
The
Oficina d'Informació de Turisme de Barcelona
organises a series of guided walking
tours. One explores the Barri Gòtic (adult/child €16/free); another follows in Picasso's foot-
steps and winds up at the Museu Picasso, to which entry is included in the price (adult/child
€22/7); and a third takes in the main jewels of Modernisme (adult/child €16/free). There's
also a 'gourmet' tour of traditional purveyors of fine foodstuffs across the old city (adult/
child €22/7). Stop by the tourist office or go online for the latest schedule. Tours typically last
two hours and start at the tourist office.
More specialised tours are also bookable through the tourist office: themes include run-
ning, shopping, literary Barcelona, tapas tours, civil war tours, the Gothic quarter by night,
Park Güell and half a dozen other options.
