The Granollers Modernist Route is an itinerary through the city's streets, so it does not have opening or closing hours like a museum. You can explore it at your own pace, at any time of day. To get the map and route information, I recommend visiting the Granollers Tourist Office, located at 2 Anselm Clavé Street.Granollers Tourist Office.

The Granollers Modernist Route reveals the architectural legacy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time of great economic and cultural flourishing in the city. The buildings along this route bear witness to the influence of Catalan Modernism, with architects such as Joaquim Raspall leaving an artistic and functional mark that defines part of Granollers's identity.

To enjoy it to the fullest, I suggest visiting the Modernist Route in spring or autumn, when temperatures are more pleasant. As for the best time of day, early morning or late afternoon are ideal, as the light is softer for appreciating the architecture and there are fewer people around.

In general, the Granollers Modernist Route runs along paved urban streets, which makes it quite accessible. However, like any historic city, there may be some uneven sidewalks or steeper stretches. If you have any doubts, I recommend contacting the Granollers Tourist Office directly (+34 938 794 980) for more detailed information about specific sections.

Once you finish the Modernist Route, I encourage you to explore Granollers's historic center, including La Porxada, an iconic Gothic portico. You can also visit the Granollers Museum or the Granollers Auditorium Theatre, both nearby and offering a broader view of the local culture.

To get the most out of your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes, bringing a bottle of water and, if you're especially curious, a camera to capture the architectural details. Don't forget to download or pick up the route map, which will serve as your guide, and take your time to enjoy every façade, every balcony and every decorative element. And get ready to be surprised!
