Barcelona Las Golondrinas Sightseeing Cruise

About this experience

Barcelona Las Golondrinas Sightseeing Cruise See Barcelona's waterfront from a different angle on the Las Golondrinas sightseeing cruise. Departing from the Monument of Columbus at Port Vell, this harbour cruise takes you past Barcelona's most important maritime landmarks aboard a modern catamaran. You'll glide past the busy Maremàgnum shopping area, the striking Porta d'Europa Bridge, and the World Trade Center while learning about the city's maritime history through multilingual audio commentary. Choose between two routes: the 40-minute port cruise focuses on the historic harbour and its landmarks, including the ancient Clock Tower and bronze Sideroploide sculpture made from reclaimed marine materials. The extended 60-minute route ventures beyond the commercial port to open waters, offering coastal views of Barceloneta beaches and the Olympic Port. From here, you'll spot Barcelona's skyline including the Sagrada Família and the distinctive W Hotel. If you're planning a full day exploring Barcelona's attractions, consider pairing your cruise with a Sagrada Família guided tour to see Gaudí's masterpiece up close after viewing it from the water.
