See Barcelona's revolutionary car-free Superblocks in the 19th-century grid neighbourhood and discover how citizens have been prioritised over cars in city design.
Begin in the atmospheric medieval streets of the old city centre, where narrow lanes and historic squares illustrate earlier layers of urban life. From there you will board the modern, safe and clean Metro for a short transfer to the 19th-century Eixample grid and its pioneering public-space experiments. Continue to the 22at district, Barcelona's innovation and tech hub, to examine startups, Smart City laboratories and e-mobility programmes.
Along the route you will learn about the progressive history of city planning in Barcelona — the birthplace of the term "urbanism" — and how public transport, green infrastructure and shared mobility shape everyday life. The tour is suitable for students, professionals and curious travellers who want concrete examples of sustainable urban renewal and citizen-centred design. Book this experience to understand exactly how Barcelona moves and what makes its urban strategies world-leading.
