About this excursion

• Don't miss any of the incredible graves in the huge cemetery

• The most non-touristy, off-the-beaten-track place in Barcelona

• Transport to and from the cemetery

Discover the spectacular gothic-style Cemetery of Montjuic on this guided tour.

You'll meet your guide in the city near the Columbus monument where you'll take a car or bus to the cemetery.

Then enjoy a guided walking tour of the huge, beautiful, and eerily quiet Cemetery of Montjuic.

Marvel at the elaborate, funny, haunting, and impressive gothic and art nouveau graves and mausoleums, angels, and skeletons.

You'll hear the stories of legendary Barcelona residents buried there, and learn about fascinating funerary traditions and moving memorial sites.

It also includes a guided visit to the "Fossar de la Pedrera", the only civil war memorial in Barcelona for victims of Franco's terror during and after the Spanish Civil War.

Then you'll return to Barcelona by car together with your guide.
