About this trip

Barcelona is full of opportunities for Art and Design Students to explore the work of artists that lived within the city. During your Barcelona School Trip you can explore the Catalan city centre and see works from the likes of Gaudi and Picasso, as well as exploring the coast where you can find the work of Dali. Take a look below at a WST Barcelona itinerary for your art and design school or sixth form college trip.

Benefit from a Tour Manager so you can concentrate on your students

From only £5 per person per day

When you visit Barcelona you can add on a tour manager as added support throughout your tour. Your tour manager will:

  • Be with your group all day
  • Liaise at all the attractions where you have reservations
  • Navigate you and your group around the city on foot and public transport
  • Assist in purchasing tickets for any additional visits
  • Be there to provide extra support in the case of an emergency
  • Assist with any translation needed

There are great benefits to choosing a tour manager when you are in Barcelona.

  • You'll have peace of mind that the day to day running of the trip will run smoothly.
  • Having a tour manager will give your parents and your SLT reassurance that you’ll be well supported.
  • You’ll have more time to concentrate on your students and the educational value of the trip.

    The Fundació was created in 1984 by Antoni Tàpies to promote the study of modern art. The museum combines the organisation of temporary exhibitions with lectures and film seasons to give students a better understanding of contemporary art and culture. The architecture of the museum alone remains one of the earliest examples of Modernism that combines exposed brick with iron.
