Unabridged Two Days in Barcelona Tour
BEST WAY TO SPEND TWO DAYS IN BARCELONA
Absorbing all in
Are you in Barcelona, Spain, for at least two days? Do you want to take the most out of your time in the city? Are you worried you won’t have time enough and might be missing something out?
Two days in Barcelona are enough to get a good overview of the city… if you plan them well. But it’s so easy to plan the wrong timings, and once you arrive you might not get quickly oriented to move around with confidence. And what about all the time spent online making reservations to visit your favorite sites, just to realize you didn’t pick the right time and have to rush, or worst, wait outside without nothing to do until it’s time to get in?
All this won’t happen to you if you spend your 2 days in Barcelona with us: we have tested itineraries and timings, and the experience that allows us to organize flaw-less tours that will allow you to visit much more than what you’d see on your own. You’ll skip lines everywhere, and let your guide take care of the logistics. And you’ll feel like you are walking around with an old good local friend.

TOUR FAQ
- THESE 2 DAYS IN BARCELONA RUN: Every day (unless a site is exceptionally closed).
SOME SITES CLOSED:
– Sundays: No visits allowed in the Cathedral of the Old Town, and the Boqueria Market is closed.
– Monday: The Picasso Museum is closed (except May thru September, included) and the Boqueria Market is only partially open.
- TOUR LENGHT: 6 hours each day. Possibility of extending one or both days to 8 hours on request upon booking.
- RECOMMENDED STARTING TIME: Anytime between 9AM and 11AM.
- WHERE DO WE MEET? Your accommodation within the Barcelona city limits. Alternatively, a different suitable point each day.
- WHERE DO WE END? At the last visited site.
- IS THERE A LUNCH STOP? Yes, you’ll be stopping for tapas each day at a different spot.
- HOW DO WE MOVE AROUND? Both days can be either a combination of walking and taxis, or we can have a private Mercedes car with driver at our disposal (in the case of 6-hr tours, that might require reorganizing the order of the itinerary for that day) for part of or the entire day.
- IS THERE A DRESS CODE? To visit the Cathedral of Saint Eulalia you need to cover your shoulders and your skirt or pants must be long to your knee. The dress code at the Sagrada Familia Church isn’t usually too strict, but they have occasionally banned access to people wearing short shorts (closer to their butts than to their knees), deep plunging necklines or open backs.
- IS THIS A SKIP-THE-LINE TOUR? Yes! Our guides are licensed and entitled to skip lines and give explanations inside all the Barcelona must-see sites.
- CAN WE CLIMB THE STAIRS AT SAGRADA FAMILIA? Only upon request. Click here to learn more about how it works, what’s allowed and what’s not.
- THE 2 DAYS NEED TO BE CONSECUTIVE? Not at all: Book your tours for whatever dates work best for you, even if they are weeks apart (like one day before departing on a cruise and the other day when you are back).
TRAVELERS LIKE YOU SAY ABOUT THIS TOUR:
TAILOR YOUR 2 DAYS IN BARCELONA WITH US
This 2 days tour work best for people full of energy with no walking issues, such as adults and families with teens or young adults, staying at least 2 full days in Barcelona and wanting to visit everything.
If the plan sounds exhausting, stick to the 6-hour option or consider adding a driver for the second part of the tour (we don’t recommend a fully chauffeured tour because a driver would be a waste in the morning part of the tour). The second day itinerary can also be fully done with a driver, but the first day takes place mostly in pedestrian areas and using a driver doesn’t make sense.
If you are traveling with kids we also recommend to book the 6-hour option and maybe adding a driver for part of the tour, or booking our 2 half days itineraries, instead.
If you have walking issues or use a wheelchair, check with us before booking, as depending on your capacities we might not be able to cover the full itinerary and we’d rather discuss it with you to set the right expectations.
If you have 3 days in Barcelona, check out this 3-day program or consider adding a day trip out of town.
