BARCELONAONE DAY HOP ON HOP OFF TOUR OF
Reviewed by: ChandraMohan, 2015/07/15The tour covers 3 routes Red, Blue and Green and covers all the hotspots in Barcelona. There are places where the routes overlap and you can make changes. Look it up on the net and plan in advance.
Barcelona can be very hot in Summer. So carry water with you and wear a wide brimmed hat as protection from the heat.So, be prepared.
The hop on hop off tour does not cover the tickets to visit the place of interest in the location, so it would be a good idea to get tickets online and plan your timing to be at that place at the appropriate time. Queues can be pretty long sometimes.
Start at the point closes to you. Casa Battllo, La Pedrera are done on foot and it would be a better idea to do it in the evening. Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia on the blue route would be a good place to start the tour and also because it is a not to be missed site. Book tickets in advance. Allow at least 1 hour in the Chapel and museum and about 15 – 20 minutes to go up the tower. It is an amazing piece of architecture.
Park Guell is another of Gaudi’s works and special to Barcelona. More for the architecture than for the garden.
Stop at Tibidabo to see one of its highlights, the Tramvia Blau. a quaint little tram which has been in operation for over a century and has managed to retain a lot of its originality. The charge is a little steep at ∈5.50 one way. Please do not forget to use the discount coupon provided to you.The view of Barcelona is one of the best from up here.
The Football Club Barcelona which is the mecca for football aficionados. Dont bother if you are not one.
Reach Palaca Catalunya around 4.0 pm then you take one of the free walking tours that start from Placa Reial. You could take the Gothic tour or the Moderniste route. Each takes about two and a half hours and is very informative.
The Palau de la Musica is for music buffs.
You could then take a walk around the Rambla have a leisurely dinner on the various cafes that line the route and get back to your hotel.
