At Side Routes, we don’t believe in just seeing a place — we believe in feeling it.
We’re not here to rush you from one monument to the next. We’re here to guide you into the heart of Barcelona and Rome, two of Europe’s most iconic cities, through stories, flavors, and the locals who make them come alive. Our paths are different — slower, deeper, and more soulful. They’re the kind you remember long after the photos fade.
We’re passionate about local culture and the humans behind it. That’s why we partner with independent hosts — from historians and artists to chefs and neighborhood storytellers — who genuinely love sharing their cities. Our experiences are crafted to be personal, not polished. Unexpected, not manufactured. And always full of heart.
Whether you’re wandering through Roman alleyways at golden hour or sipping vermouth in a hidden bar in El Born, you’ll be traveling like a local — not a tourist.
Meet Our Local Hosts
We’re a small, independent team built around one big idea: meaningful travel should feel like being let in on a secret. And we can’t wait to share it with you.
