Discover Spain with a train-hopping trip from the Gaudí-inspired streets of Barcelona to majestic Madrid - includes flights, train transfers, and more

Barcelona

Start your journey in Barcelona, a city that feels like a living art gallery. Between the whimsical spires of the Sagrada Família and the bustling energy of the Gothic Quarter, you’ll find a world of sensory delights, from the scent of fresh seafood at Boqueria Market to the sun-dappled tiles of Park Güell. It is a place that invites you to lose yourself in its winding narrow alleyways before emerging onto the wide, stylish boulevards of Eixample. And as night falls the city comes alive with filled terraces, live music and nightclubs offering something to suit every taste. And what could be better after a full-to-bursting day of sightseeing than watching the sun go down on Barceloneta beach with a glass of sangria in your hand?

Madrid

From the coast, you’ll head inland to the high-altitude glamour of Madrid. The transition from Catalonia to the heart of Spain reveals a different side of the country's soul - one of grand palace squares, world-class art at the Prado Museum, and an electrifying nightlife that famously lasts until dawn. Top sights include the Golden Triangle of Art, Royal Palace, Gran Via, and Plaza Mayor. If you’re looking to explore sights off the tourist path, head to the charming neighbourhoods of La Latina, Malasaña, or Chueca - popping in and out of traditional tapas bars as you roam vibrant streets. Whether you are strolling through the leafy expanse of El Retiro Park or enjoying tapas in a traditional tavern, Madrid is a city that rewards both the structured sightseer and the aimless wanderer.
