Barcelona Express & Aquarium Excursion

We invite you to spend a full and exciting day in Barcelona and discover its brightest sides — architecture, history, atmospheric streets, a Mediterranean mood and one of the most interesting family attractions in the city. The Barcelona Express & Aquarium Excursion is a convenient one-day programme for those who want to see the main corners of the Catalan capital, feel its rhythm and finish the route with a visit to the famous Barcelona Aquarium.

This excursion is perfect for those who want not just to take a quick look at the city, but to get a complete impression of Barcelona: to see its iconic places, walk through the central streets, enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere and discover the underwater world right in the historic Port Vell area.

It is a light, beautiful and eventful day that combines a city sightseeing programme, architecture, free time and a visit to one of the largest marine centres in Europe.

What awaits you on the Barcelona Express & Aquarium Excursion:

Sagrada Familia

Your introduction to Barcelona will begin with one of the city’s most recognisable symbols — Sagrada Familia. This grand creation by Antoni Gaudí has long become not only an architectural landmark, but also a true calling card of Barcelona.

During the stop, you will be able to see the majestic façades of the basilica, admire its unusual forms and take memorable photos. Sagrada Familia impresses with its scale, details and special symbolism, which make this temple one of the most striking buildings in Europe.

Eixample district

Next, the route will pass through the famous Eixample district — one of the most interesting and recognisable areas of Barcelona. This district is known for its special urban layout, wide avenues, elegant façades and the atmosphere of modernist Barcelona.

It is here that you can especially feel how the city combines history, architecture and modern life. Eixample is Barcelona with beautiful streets, stylish buildings, cafés, shops and a distinctive urban rhythm.

Casa Batlló and Casa Amatller

During the route, you will see the famous section of Passeig de Gràcia where two outstanding buildings are located — Casa Batlló and Casa Amatller. They stand next to each other and form one of the most famous architectural ensembles in Barcelona.

Casa Batlló impresses with its wavy lines, bright details and imaginative modernist aesthetics. Casa Amatller, in turn, stands out for its unusual façade and elegant decoration. Together, these buildings help you feel the architectural Barcelona that attracts travellers from all over the world.

Casa Rocamora

The programme also includes an introduction to the area where you can see Casa Rocamora — a beautiful city building that highlights the architectural richness of Barcelona. Its appearance fits perfectly into the atmosphere of the central quarters of the city, where historic façades, green streets and urban life create a special mood.

This is another opportunity to see Barcelona not only through its most obvious symbols, but also through its elegant urban architecture.

Arc de Triomf

One of the stops on the route will be the Arc de Triomf — a bright and recognisable monument of Barcelona, built for the 1888 Universal Exhibition. Unlike many European triumphal arches, it was created not as a military symbol, but as a sign of hospitality, progress and the openness of the city.

Next to the arch there is a wide promenade where it is pleasant to walk, take photos and feel a calmer, more spacious side of Barcelona.

Plaça de Catalunya

Plaça de Catalunya is one of the main centres of city life. Here, old quarters, modern shopping streets, transport routes and tourist flows meet.

This place is often called the heart of Barcelona. From here it is convenient to begin a walk through the centre, head towards La Rambla, visit shops or simply observe the rhythm of the city. Plaça de Catalunya helps you feel Barcelona as lively, dynamic and multifaceted.

La Rambla

The route is also connected with one of the city’s most famous boulevards — La Rambla. This lively street leads from Plaça de Catalunya towards the sea and is always full of movement.

Here you can see street performers, cafés, souvenir shops, historic buildings and the special atmosphere of old Barcelona. La Rambla is a place where the city reveals itself through sounds, smells, shop windows, people and constant motion.

Portal de l’Àngel

The programme also includes a walk through the Portal de l’Àngel area — one of the most popular pedestrian and shopping zones in Barcelona. Here you will find shops, cafés, beautiful façades and lively streets that are pleasant to explore during free time.

It is a great place for shopping, walking and taking a short break in the city centre. Portal de l’Àngel is especially suitable for those who want to combine discovering Barcelona with a little shopping.

Free time in the city centre

After the sightseeing part, you will have free time to enjoy Barcelona at your own pace. You can walk through the central streets, have coffee on a terrace, buy souvenirs, visit shops or simply feel the atmosphere of the city without rushing.

Free time makes the excursion more comfortable: everyone can choose what suits them best — walking, taking photos, shopping, relaxing or discovering the local gastronomy.

Barcelona Aquarium

A special part of the programme is a visit to the Barcelona Aquarium, located in the historic Port Vell area. It is one of the most interesting places in the city for family leisure and discovering the marine world.

The aquarium is known for its impressive Oceanario and a long underwater tunnel, through which visitors walk among fish, rays, sharks and other marine creatures. Here you can see thousands of sea creatures and feel as if you are inside a real underwater world.

This place will especially appeal to children, but it will also be interesting for adults. After a walk through the city, visiting the aquarium becomes a pleasant ending to the day: calm, beautiful and very memorable.
