About this trip
A school trip to Barcelona is a four-day programme in Catalonia for secondary school groups, organised in Spain by Viajes CumLaude. We have run school tours from our Barcelona office since 1996, and your group works with a named trip manager here and a 24-hour duty phone for the whole stay.
The first two days are Gaudí and the nineteenth-century city: the Sagrada Família, the Eixample grid, Park Güell and the Picasso Museum in El Born, with a photo rally inside the Boquería so that students work a Spanish market instead of walking past one.
The last two days change register. Poble Espanyol puts architecture from across Spain on a single site before a trencadís workshop, and the day ends at Barceloneta beach. The final day pairs Camp Nou with a castellers workshop, where the class builds a human tower and finds out what it takes to hold one up.

Travelling with CumLaude means:
A plan you can explain clearly
Clear pricing, reviewed suppliers and concrete reasons to show why this trip is the right choice for the school.
Support when plans change
We know what can happen when a group is abroad. That is why we anticipate logistics, timings and critical points.
How we work
The team that plans your school trip to Barcelona lives in Barcelona.
Almost all of our team was born here, and all of it lives here.
Being local shows in concrete details. School visits to the Sagrada Familia must be booked and paid fifteen days in advance, last about fifty minutes, and the guide is provided by the Foundation: outside guides are not allowed. And the guided visits of Park Güell's school programme run Monday to Wednesday only, at 9.30, 10.30, 12.00 and 13.00.
That is why your programme arrives with those times already built in and the bookings made on schedule. We have been organising school trips for 30 years — and this one we organise at home.
Public transport
Getting around Barcelona
The best way to get around Barcelona is to combine the metro, TMB buses and, for Montjuïc, the funicular. Most of the itinerary stays within 1 fare zone; use the metro for long axes, the bus for Park Güell and Montjuïc, and walk within the Barri Gòtic and the seafront.
Transport networks
TMB Metro
Fast network for crossing the city. Lines L2 and L5 serve the Sagrada Família and Sant Pau; L3 links Passeig de Gràcia, Lesseps/Vallcarca, Paral·lel and Espanya; L4 serves Jaume I and Barceloneta; L9 Sud connects the airport.
Useful lines
L2L3L4L5L9 Sud
In your itinerary
Day 1: L2/L5 for the Sagrada Família and Sant Pau, L3 for Passeig de Gràcia, Park Güell and Montjuïc, L4 for the Barri Gòtic/Jaume I and Barceloneta.
TMB buses
Very useful surface network for uphill approaches and links the metro doesn't serve closely. For Park Güell and Montjuïc it often saves the group a walk.
Useful lines
24V19H6D40150
In your itinerary
Day 1: 24/V19 to approach Park Güell depending on the starting point, H6/D40 as crosstown links and 150 to climb Montjuïc from Plaça Espanya.
Montjuïc funicular
TMB link from Paral·lel up to Montjuïc hill. Integrated in the network, it avoids a long climb before the MNAC, the gardens or the Olympic area.
Useful lines
FML2L3150
In your itinerary
Day 1: take it from Paral·lel if the group goes up Montjuïc; check notices as it can close for maintenance.
FGC and Rodalies
Integrated trains for arrivals, departures or extensions outside the centre. FGC is handy towards Gràcia/Sarrià and Rodalies links Sants, Passeig de Gràcia, Catalunya and the airport.
Useful lines
R2 NordS1S2L6L7
In your itinerary
Day 1: useful if the accommodation is near Sants, Catalunya or Passeig de Gràcia, or if arriving by train via the airport.

Tips for the group
- For this urban itinerary, count on 1 zone almost always; check zones only if the accommodation or an excursion leaves the central area.
- The T-casual is single-person: don't use it to pass several students through with the same card.
- Park Güell sits on a slope; choose buses 24/V19 or allow margin if arriving on L3 via Lesseps or Vallcarca.
- The Montjuïc funicular avoids part of the climb, but check TMB notices for maintenance closures.
- On the metro, split the group into small subgroups and agree platform/exit before changing at big stations like Passeig de Gràcia, Catalunya or Sants.
