Sustainable Things to Do in Barcelona

Why choose slow travel in Barcelona?

Barcelona is a city with a strong soul that is often obscured by crowds. Our "Local Stewardship" approach here is critical: we avoid the busiest hours at Sagrada Familia and instead focus on neighborhoods where local life still thrives, like Gràcia or Poble Sec. We prioritize walking tours that leave zero carbon footprint and distribute economic benefits to small family businesses.

Discover hidden modernist architecture that isn't in the top 10 lists but is just as breathtaking. Visit a zero-waste market or a centuries-old bodega that sources wine from nearby Penedès vineyards. For a nature escape, we offer guided hikes in the Collserola Natural Park, the green lungs overlooking the city. By choosing YOVU in Barcelona, you are part of the solution to overtourism, respecting the residents while enjoying their incredible city.
