The Best Barcelona Photography Tours

Learn Photography. Explore Barcelona’s sensational architecture, backstreets and beaches, with camera in hand, when you sign up for one of these highly rated photo tours .

Book A Photoshoot. Prefer to be in front of the lens? We also review several photoshoots with professional photographers, where you’re the star of the show!

The Best Photography Tours in Barcelona

Photography is one of life’s most enviable skills. The ability to capture fleeting moments and turn them into evocative and timeless memories is both internally satisfying and – let’s face it – great for showing off!

Learning how to take photos in a foreign city is even more satisfying than usual, as you get to explore a novel destination, full of new and surprising people, architecture and sights, at the same time as you improve your shutter skills.

So with Barcelona as your muse, sign up for one of the following experiences and capture the charms of the Great Enchantress with your DSLR, iPhone or even polaroid camera.

1. Shutter Kings Photo Tours

Take a long and leisurely stroll through the charismatic streets of Barcelona’s Old Town in the company of professional photographer, Fran Goncalves (or else one of his equally gifted team!), on a Shutter Kings walking photo tour . You’ll quickly be able to master all aspects of your DSLR with Fran’s help, from the basics – such as balancing that pesky exposure triangle – to more advanced techniques, and dealing with common photography problems, like shooting in difficult light. As you wonder through the back streets of Bohemian barrios like El Born , the Gothic Quarter and Raval, Fran will pose you little photographic challenges designed to improve your lens craft. By the end of this 2 hour experience you should have significantly improved your camera skills, as well as captured some arresting images of Barcelona. Prefer to shoot on an iPhone or Android device? Check out their Instagram Tour, on their website. Whatever you shoot with, this private tour is great value at just €95 per person. www.shutterkingsbarcelona.com

2. Barcelona Photography Tour

Launched in 2001, by talented shutterbug Laurie Cohen, Barcelona Photography Tour not only offers a range of half and full day private photo tours around the city, but they also organise photography workshops here in Barcelona, and in the rest of the world. So whether you want to spend just a morning practicing your shooting skills, or make drastic improvements over the course of an entire week of lessons, Laurie and his team can help you. Check out more on their website. www.barcelonaphotographytour.com

The Best Photoshoots (& Photographers For Hire!)

The most frustrating thing about learning photography is that, while you may be able to take sensational photos of your friends and family… there’s no one to take stunning shots of your own winsome smile. That’s when you might want to call in the professionals…

Check out the following activities if the goal of your Barcelona travels is to come back with stunning portraits of yours truly…

3. Shutter Kings Private Photoshoot

For a private photo shoot with a seasoned professional, the aforementioned Shutter Kings Barcelona can make you the star of the show. They will take you for a 2-hour shoot to stunning locations like the Plaça del Angels, in front of the iconic MACBA museum, the stunning Estacio de Franca, the Arc de Triomf, the beach front, or even up to the Bunkers del Carmel if you like. They are ready to personalise the session to your needs and the results are some truly original and arresting portraits. Perfect for couples, young families or groups of friends. Great value at just €210 for a couple’s photo session (€150 for individuals). Check the website for group pricing. www.shutterkingsbarcelona.com/photoshoots

4. 1-hr or 2-hr Private Photoshoot (for 1 to 7 people)

Another great private option can be found on Get Your Guide, where you can book a professional photographer for either 1 hour, to take candid, documentary style photos of you in cool districts like El Born, or select the 2 hour package. The 1 hour package costs €399 total, and you get 30 professionally edited photos from the shoot. The 2 hour package costs €499 and you get 60 photos. The packages cost the same whether you’re one or seven people. You can book via Get Your Guide , which also offers free cancellation.

This small group tours costs just €49 and is for a maximum of 7 people. Book via Get Your Guide . If you select the Full Day version of the tour, you meet the photographer again in the evening to catch some lovely soft light photos at Park Guell. Tickets to the park included in the €130 total price.

On this small group, public tour, you’ll take a leisurely stroll around the Old Town with a professional photographer, who will capture you in front of some of Barcelona’s most iconic spots.

13 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Barcelona

By Caitlin Morton

There are many reasons colorful Barcelona is one of the world's most beloved cities. And while the capital of Catalonia may have vibrant beach and bar scenes, it's the tranquil pleasures that keep us coming back: the narrow lanes of the Gothic quarter; the savory tapas and sweet sangria; the staggering mountain views. And then, of course, there's the Gaudí architecture. Here are 13 photos that will make you want to book a flight right now.

Park Güell, a mosaic-filled World Heritage Site designed by Antoni Gaudí.

With its organic shapes (including a giant, tiled salamander) and Gaudí House-Museum, the park is an excellent introduction to the city's most famous architect.

Antiga Casa Figueras, a patisserie built in 1820.

The store is one of the most beautiful sites on La Rambla , Barcelona's famous pedestrian shopping street.

The popular beach at Barceloneta.

The stretch of sand comes complete with a palm tree-lined promenade, a scattering of sculptures, and some of the best people-watching in town.

The narrow, winding streets of the Gothic quarter (one of the largest in Europe).

Notable sites include the La Seu Cathedral, Barcelona City History Museum, and Bishop's Bridge (pictured).

Alexandra Hall

CNT Editors

Jessica Puckett

Tibidabo, the highest peak of the Collserola Mountain Range.

Aside from all-encompassing views of the city, the mountain has a colorful amusement park and stunning neo-Gothic cathedral.

A selection of chocolates at La Boqueria.

La Boqueria is the largest market in Spain, and one of the best food markets in the world. Aside from sweets, the space overflows with fruit, fresh seafood, and rows of chorizo and jamón .

La Sagrada Família, a Gaudí-designed church and tour fixture for almost every visitor to Barcelona.

The basilica has been under construction since 1882 (no typo) and is scheduled to completed on the centenary of Gaudi’s death in 2026. Makes the two-hour entrance queue seem pretty quick, no?

The elaborate papier-mâché pieces (and general excitement) of La Fiesta de Gràcia.

The week-long fiesta occurs every August throughout the streets of Barcelona's Gràcia district.

Restaurants serving savory tapas everywhere you turn in the city.

The bite-sized treats range from squid to pintxos (skewered snacks served on bread), and are best enjoyed with a bottle of wine .

The magnificence of the Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall renowned for its clear acoustics and Catalan modernista style.

The concert hall is illuminated entirely by natural light during daylight hours, thanks to the stained-glass walls and inverted dome skylight (pictured).

Casa Batlló, another Gaudí masterpiece.

The house's colorful windows, wavy walls, and dragon-like roof exemplify the architect's creativity and Modernista principles.

The giant mosaic welcoming visitors to Barcelona-El Prat Airport.

The mural was created by Joan Miró, a famous Barcelona-born artist, in 1970.

Plaça Reial, a city square that gets busier and more vibrant at night.

Plaça Reial is also one of the most picturesque corners of the city, defined by its palm trees, street lamps, and famous fountain.

Our 7 Favourite Barcelona Bike Tours

Sunshine and warm weather make Barcelona a top destination for travelers. This also means it is a fabulous city for biking.

We rate a hand-picked selection of the best tour options in three categories: itinerary, family-friendliness and ‘wow factor’, always rated from 1 to 5. Find your favorite from the 7 best Barcelona Bike Tours.

You might ask yourself:

Why should I use a bike?

Well, first of all, biking improves well-being, boosts endorphins and stimulates your mind. The culinary delights around Barcelona are a pleasure, but it is certainly easy to pack on the kilos when you travel.

Biking burns calories and promotes weight loss while also leaving you feeling energized for your trip.

Burn off that large paella you had the night before with a few hours of cycling through the magical neighborhoods of Barcelona.

Exercise like cycling rushes blood to your brain, making your mind sharper and ready for new information. This is a great benefit, as you learn many new facts about the city you are exploring.

Biking is also an environmentally friendly way to see any city!

But why should you try a Barcelona bike tour?

There are windy streets and hidden gems offered by this vibrant city that you can´t see by bus or car.

Professional guides will explain to you what you are seeing, making these Barcelona bike tours that much more impactful. Soak up the sun and their expertise as you glide through the city on two wheels.

Now that we have covered the benefits of cycling, let´s dive into the various options in Barcelona.

There are various Barcelona bike tours, so choosing can be overwhelming.

This guide is meant to help you choose the right Barcelona bike tour that match your interests and desires, making your trip to Barcelona stress-free and filled with lasting memories.

We present our 7 favorite Barcelona bike tours with a short description of each. We are rating them on the following benchmarks:

The quality of the itinerary (and guides), family-friendliness, and the surprise or ‘wow factor’ of the tours .

So sit back, relax and enjoy our advice and expertise as we now kick-off our top picks starting with a Quick Comparison Breakdown:

So since this is done, let’s dig real deep into those tours:

1. Gaudi Bike Tours

Gaudi created so many unmissable sights in Barcelona – and on the Gaudi UNESCO Highlights Tour you’ll see ALL of his most famous buildings in a small-group setting.

After visiting La Cascada fountain in Parc de la Ciutadella to learn about the architect’s early life, you’ll continue up, past the Arc de Triomf, to the simply unbelievable La Sagrada Familia. Gaudi’s crowning glory, La Sagrada Familia will be the tallest church in the world when it’s finished (172.5 metres) and each of its façades is packed with amazing imagery and stories – your guide will share some of the best!

Next you will check out one of Gaudi’s early works, the Casa Vicens. Oft-overlooked by other tours, this art nouveau masterpiece draws on Spain’s Arabic influences to create a colourful and playful mansion and one of the signature pieces of Catalan Modernisme.

Important information to note: Bicing is designed for locals who have either a Spanish identity card or a N.I.E. which is the card received by foreigners living in Cataluña. So if you don’t have either one, this is not an option for you.
