The journey
3 cities, joined by rail.
Starts Barcelona, ends Madrid — an open-jaw trip, so book your flights accordingly. Private transfer from the arrival point to the hotel in Barcelona.
Travel through three of Spain’s most rewarding cities on this 7-night journey linking Barcelona, Sevilla and Madrid. The route blends modern architecture, layered history and easy city-to-city movement, with private transfers at the start and finish, hotel stays in each destination and daily breakfast included throughout. It is a straightforward way to see different sides of Spain without rushing from one region to the next.
Your time in Barcelona begins with a private arrival transfer and a first evening at leisure, giving you space to settle in before exploring the city at a relaxed pace. A hop-on hop-off sightseeing pass introduces the Gothic Quarter and the city’s best-known works by Antoni Gaudí, including Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, Casa Milà and Park Güell. The format makes it easy to cover the main sights while choosing where to spend more time.
From Barcelona, travel by train to Sevilla for a change of pace and atmosphere. Here, the itinerary brings in the city’s grand public squares, tree-lined parks and the striking cathedral district, alongside another hop-on hop-off sightseeing day that helps you take in the main landmarks with minimal planning. A full-day excursion to Granada adds one of the tour’s biggest highlights, with time to visit the Alhambra and appreciate the Moorish heritage that defines the city.
The journey continues to Madrid by train, followed by an afternoon at leisure to enjoy the capital at your own pace. The programme then adds a half-day excursion to Toledo, a city known for its remarkable blend of Christian, Muslim and Jewish heritage and its dense old quarter of churches, fortresses, mosques and synagogues. Back in Madrid, a hop-on hop-off sightseeing experience rounds out the trip with flexible access to the city’s streets, monuments and major viewpoints before your private departure transfer brings the tour to a close.
