Barcelona’s Vibrant Culture & Cuisine with Bliss
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a vibrant city that effortlessly blends history, culture, and a zest for life. From its awe-inspiring architecture to its world-renowned art scene and mouthwatering cuisine, Barcelona has something to capture the heart of every traveler.
This 2000 year old city on the bright blue Mediterranean coast hosts some the most highly rated beaches in the world, internationally recognized buildings and parks, as well as a culinary history of exceptional food and wine! We will explore the extraordinary works of Antoni Gaudí, whose architectural masterpieces like the Sagrada Familia and Park Güell are sure to leave you in awe. Wendy and our local guide will immerse you in the artistic legacy of Pablo Picasso at the Picasso Museum, as we wander through the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter and El Born, where history comes alive around every corner. And it wouldn't be a Bliss Trip without some serious indulging in the flavors of Barcelona's culinary delights, with its diverse gastronomy, offering a tantalizing mix of Mediterranean and Catalan influences. And a bold array of local wines from sparkling cavas to deep, ruby reds.
With the Mediterranean Sea as its backdrop, Barcelona is truly a city that delights and inspires at every turn. So grab some tapas and a glass of sangria, and let the magic of Barcelona unfold before your eyes.

Bliss itineraries are different
Our itineraries continue to evolve because we are constantly looking for new and unique things to see and do. We tailor our trips to the travelers attending, and select events to best fit their preferences. Providing Bliss-only access to our private venues means we sometimes have to work around personal schedules.
What you see below is our best representation - before the trip is booked and we begin getting to know you - of what you can always expect from Bliss, and what our most popular events, menus and venues from past trips are. Every Bliss trip includes our private “Insider” excursions and events — there will be an exclusive wine-tasting, there will be multi-course chef meals and curated wine pairings, there will be excursions to must-see sites hosted by a private guide — but some of the dates and details may change. And we’ll be ready. That’s why we keep our schedules relaxed and leisurely!
