About this tour
A two-hour guided tour through Barcelona's art world, led by practising artists and historians who unlock galleries, studios and street art across the city. You'll sip wine amongst working creatives in intimate gallery spaces, hear firsthand accounts of the pieces on display, and wander the old town's lanes discovering both hidden murals and architectural landmarks. The route takes in contemporary venues, artist studios usually off-limits to visitors, and gallery owners keen to share their world.

What to expect
You'll move through Barcelona in a compact group, stopping at carefully selected galleries and studios where you'll encounter the people behind the work. Expect to stand and walk at a gentle pace through intimate spaces—galleries, artist studios, and passages in the old town. Your guides will contextualise what you're seeing, explain techniques, and introduce you to owners and makers directly. Midway through, you'll settle into a gallery with a glass of wine, absorbing the atmosphere and chatting with whoever's around. Street art becomes a visual thread throughout; you'll spot pieces and learn about Barcelona's graffiti culture as you move between venues. It's conversational rather than lecture-based.
