A bar hidden in the forest, a historic castle and even a Magic Fountain (it’s a real thing).
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
If you feel like exploring Barcelona off the beaten path then you’re in luck, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll join one of our Barcelona hosts to explore Montjüic, a leafy neighborhood that has lazily blanketed itself over the hillside overlooking the harbor. The area takes its name from the Catalan for meaning ‘Jewish Mountain’, as it was once the home of the city’s Jewish community. You’ll visit Montjüic Castle, an old military fortress that has roots dating back to 1640, and stop by the Olympic Stadium (which has an unusual history - we’ll leave it up to your host to divulge details).
You could wander through The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, with its Romanesque paintings and Catalan art, then play hide and seek and look for the coolest bar in the neighborhood. Oh alright, here’s a clue: it’s hidden on the forested cliff-tops behind the castle. Barbecues, sunset drinks, and DJ sets, what more could you want? A magic fountain, you say? There’s one of those too; the Font Màgica de Montjuïc is an amazing display of motion, light, color, music, and water acrobatics. Life’s not bad up on the hill.
Please note that the show at the Magic Fountain takes place from June to the end of September, from Wednesday to Sunday at 21:30 so we recommend booking on these days and as an evening experience if you would like to include this.

Show moreAnna was amazing. Even before the tour began, she was proactive in communicating with us and suggesting ideas and things to do. We met her in the morning and explored the Gothic Quarter, Eixample, and several other fascinating spots around Barcelona. She shared rich historical insights in a way that kept all of us, including our kids (ages 9 and 12), fully engaged and entertained. Her friendly and approachable nature made the experience even better. We also got to try some delicious local food along the way, guided by her recommendations.
