6.Montjuïc Cemetery Walking Tour – Hidden Art, History & Views

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 62 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47

Review of Barcelona’s Montjuïc Cemetery tour, with Gothic tombs, Civil War history, city views, transport details, stair advice, and value tips.

“Montjuic cemetery is a major part of the history of Barcelona, and offers insights into how Barcelona residents over the decades have commemorated the deaths of their friends and families. To my knowledge, this is the only cemetery tour offered in English. The tour is paced to permit extended viewing and wandering around pre-selected parts of the cemetery. A lot of stairs, but almost all downhill, since the tour starts at the top of the cemetery. Tour guide was well-informed and personable.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 55 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $30

Explore Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter after dark, with Inquisition trials, Roman tombs, plague tales, and a lively English-speaking guide.

“We were expecting a ghost tour that would include a great deal of historical information. Our guide said he was interested in us understanding the true history of the area without ghost stories. Although his approach was different from what had been advertised, we found the tour to be extremely interesting and filled with insights and information we did not have before. With or without ghosts, this walk through the gothic area was an excellent tour.”
