Breakfast on Passeig de Gràcia
Begin the morning on Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona's most distinguished boulevard. Breakfast at Mandarin Oriental Barcelona provides views across Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, while the city is still settling into the day.
Private visit to the Sagrada Família
Experience Gaudí's masterpiece through a privately guided visit with priority access. As morning light passes through the stained-glass windows, discover the symbolism, craftsmanship and architectural vision behind one of the world's most recognised basilicas. Did you know Gaudí was not the original architect of the Sagrada Família?
Park Güell
Continue to Park Güell, where colourful mosaics, organic forms and carefully considered landscapes reflect Gaudí's distinctive approach to architecture. Wander at your own pace and take in panoramic views across the city and towards the Mediterranean.
For dinner, book ahead at one of the tasting-menu restaurants in El Born — or keep it simple with tapas standing at a crowded bar. Both are equally Barcelona.
End the weekend the way it started: back at the marina, drink in hand, watching the light change over the harbour.
In the heart of El Born, Estimar celebrates the Mediterranean through seasonal seafood and refined simplicity. Created by chef Rafa Zafra, the restaurant has become one of Barcelona's most respected dining destinations, where carefully sourced ingredients take centre stage. Reservations are recommended.
El Born & the Gothic Quarter
Explore Barcelona's historic centre alongside a private guide. Walk through medieval streets and quiet squares before visiting Santa Maria del Mar, regarded as one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic architecture and a symbol of the city's maritime heritage.
Craftsmanship & independent ateliers
Barcelona's creative identity is reflected in the workshops, galleries and specialist boutiques hidden throughout El Born. Discover artisanal leatherwork, contemporary jewellery, ceramics and niche perfumery, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern design.
Time to unwind
Return to your hotel for time to relax before the evening ahead, or continue exploring Passeig de Gràcia, where international fashion houses sit alongside some of Barcelona's most celebrated Modernist architecture.
Dinner at Gran Hotel La Florida
High on Tibidabo, Gran Hotel La Florida overlooks Barcelona from one of the city's most remarkable vantage points. Contemporary Mediterranean cuisine is served against a backdrop that stretches from the skyline to the sea, offering a different perspective of the city as daylight fades.
Cocktails at Dry Martini
Conclude the day at Dry Martini, Javier de las Muelas' renowned cocktail bar. A longstanding fixture of Barcelona's social scene, it remains a place where classic mixology, understated elegance and attentive hospitality come together.
