Riding around Barcelona in Vespa
Are you thinking about spending your holidays Barcelona? You will for sure not regret choosing this top destination. Among the best cities in Europe, it is a delight for the eyes. Barcelona is the birthplace of Catalan modernism and is a real open air museum. Antoni Gaudi left his artistic genius in the city : Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, Guell Park,…even the floor on Passeig de Gracia was imagined by him ! You will come back home with stars in your eyes . If you plan on staying just a few days and discover the best secrets of Barcelona, we have found the perfect idea: rent a Vespa…with a GPS !
This is a great idea if you want to make the most out of your stay. Barcelona is one of Europe’s city with most motorcycle per inhabitant, and it is more easy to travel around and go from one place to another with one of these. Choosing a Vespa will give you total autonomy during your trip and you will for sure enjoy riding this icon. What’s more, we have found a touristic company dedicated to imagine GPS-guided tours in Barcelona city. With 4 different GPS tours, tailor made private and daily tours, you have plenty of possibilities to discover Barcelona the way you want. Coming back to Antoni Gaudi, there is one tour that we particularly appreciated and that allows you to see his artistic wonders: the Gaudi Tour. Starting at the majestuous Sagrada Familia church, it leads you through Passeig de Gracia and to bohemian Gracia neighborhood. You can then enjoy beautiful Guell Park and from there go a little upper in the city, at the beginning of Tibidabo mountain. There, you can take a rest and have a drink at Mirablau restaurant where you have a panoramic breathtaking view of Barcelona. The tour continues in Sarria neighborhood with a stop at the Pedralbes Monastery and discovering one of Gaudi’s dragon at the Guell Pavillon. Finishing line is famous FC Barcelona football stadium, and amongst the biggest in the world, Camp Nou. Renting a Vespa will give you the opportunity of joining different places that would normally be more difficult and longer to combine walking or by metro. Enjoy Barcelona and the best places the city has to offer by getting to know Vesping and its amazing tours.
