Package details include

Flamenco dancersInventive, radical and racy, Barcelona is one of Europe's most dynamic cities. Strolling through its streets is like wandering through a living museum, a legacy of its 2,000 years of history. From the ancient maze-like Gothic quarter, built within the old Roman city walls, to the astonishing turn-of-the-19th-century Eixample district, the city contains some of the finest and most eccentric art and architecture in the world.

Explore Barcelona's highlights on a hop-on/hop-off journey by double-decker bus that includes three routes and 44 stops. Outstanding even by Barcelonan standards is Antoni Gaudi's extraordinary architectural wonder Sagrada Familia - for many, reason enough to visit the city and among seven of his works together designated as a World Heritage site. Be sure to take a flavor-filled walking tour of the Gothic Quarter's food outlets to sample the local wine and tapas and why not attend an exciting flamenco dinner show?

One of Madrid's prominent buildingsIn Madrid, a hop-on/hop-off tour covers all of the city’s highlights such as the Royal Palace, the Paseo del Prado (Prado Museum) and the Puerta de Alcalá. Other key sights include Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Parque del Buen Retiro, while a drive down the Gran Vía features outstanding architectural examples of the Belle Époque.
