Following the incredible impact and inspiration left by the UIA World Congress here in Barcelona, there has never been a better time to explore our streets. This Summer 2026 is the perfect moment to walk the city with Barcelona Architecture Walks, learning from the enduring lessons of the master architects who envisioned and shaped Barcelona.
Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to find new inspiration, we have tailored our Summer 2026 Schedule to offer you the ultimate architectural journey.
Planning your visit to Barcelona this summer?
During the final days of July, we will continue with our standard schedule featuring our five weekly guided architecture walks, available to book in both regular (public) and private formats just like the rest of the year.
However, during the month of August, we adjust our schedule:
-
We will keep our signature BARCELONA & GAUDI walking tour running in its regular, public schedule.
-
All other tours will be exclusively available to book as Private Tours.
The private option is the perfect format to effortlessly fit your holiday itinerary. You will have one of our expert guides dedicated exclusively to your family or group, providing a total immersion experience into the rich culture, history, and architecture of Barcelona!

The BAW Difference
All of our tour leaders are practicing architects, most of whom are also university professors or architecture critics. This high caliber of professionals provides a wide spectrum of deep knowledge on a huge range of topics that only Barcelona Architecture Walks can offer. We walk with our own critical, contemporary perspectives—and always a wry smile on our faces because… we absolutely love architecture!
