Barcelona has looked out to sea for more than two thousand years. Here stood Barcino, a Roman town with its own walls. In the Middle Ages, neighbourhoods of sailors, merchants and craftspeople grew up around the harbour. Today their narrow streets form the Ciutat Vella, the old town. With Piracity you explore it on foot, like a treasure hunt for the whole family.
Paradas para descobrir
Plaça de Catalunya

Plaça Reial
Plaça Reial is a neoclassical square with arcades, built in the mid-1800s next to the Rambla. It has two lampposts designed by the young Gaudí.
Monument a Colom
The Monument a Colom is a column about 60 metres tall at the bottom of the Rambla, facing the harbour. It was unveiled in 1888 and is one of the city's symbols.
The sights along the route
The route visits seven places in the centre, all close to each other. You pass the Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall decorated in a thousand colours. Then you enter the Barri Gòtic, the Gothic Quarter. Further on there is a square with arcades and lampposts designed by a young Gaudí. You will discover the rest stop by stop.
It is about 3 km on foot on flat streets, and about 3 hours of play, plus your breaks. The route does not loop back to the start and ends close to the metro.
History and culture, lived through play
Every stop tells a piece of history. There are medieval kings and the builders of Gothic churches. There are the architects of Modernisme, the Catalan style full of colour. There are questions about festivals, traditions and old trades, as well as riddles, anagrams and logic puzzles. The questions are designed for kids from 9 years old and their parents.
You don't need to know everything already. Many answers can be found by looking closely at what is in front of you, others by thinking together. That way a walk becomes a challenge to play as a team.
An adventure that continues
After the hunt, Barcelona still has plenty to offer families. The Parc de la Ciutadella has lawns, a small lake and a big waterfall. On Tibidabo, the mountain behind the city, there is an old amusement park.
You can also walk on the beach at La Barceloneta, the old fishermen's quarter. Every neighbourhood has its own story: the next hunt is waiting for you.
