School trip to Barcelona

Architecture, Culture and the Mediterranean

The magic of the cosmopolitan port city of Barcelona is well documented... school trip participants can expect decorative Gaudi architecture, charming Art Nouveau buildings, and a cheerful Mediterranean flair in this southern metropolis. The unique Sagrada Familia is visible from afar... both Park Güell and the fun-filled Tibidabo Hill offer breathtaking views across Barcelona down to the Mediterranean beaches. While Barcelona's most famous museum is dedicated to Picasso, FC Barcelona and the Camp Nou stadium are equally revered. Visitors are invited to stroll the length of the famous Ramblas and explore the meandering streets of Barrio Gótico with its multitude of hip bars and clubs and colourful markets which seem to reinvent themselves on a daily basis …
