Neighborhoods to Explore

Gothic Quarter

is the historic centre of the old city of Barcelona. It stretches from La Rambla to Via Laietana, and from the Mediterranean seafront to the Ronda de Sant Pere. It is a part of Ciutat Vella district.

The quarter encompasses the oldest parts of the city of Barcelona, and includes the remains of the city's Roman wall and several notable medieval landmarks. Much of the present-day fabric of the quarter, however, dates to the 19th and early 20th centuries. El Call, the medieval Jewish quarter, is located within this area, along with the former Sinagoga Major.

El Born

The trendy El Born area is characterized by narrow medieval streets offering designer boutiques and cafes by day, and cocktail bars and samba at night. Ornate stained glass is on show at the Santa Maria del Mar Basilica, while the renowned Picasso Museum shows many of the artist's masterpieces. Featuring an archaeological site, the El Born Cultural and Memorial Center is an event space in an old market building.

Gràcia

The neighborhood is known for its bohemian and independent spirit, which is reflected in its many small, locally-owned shops and businesses, as well as its colorful architecture and charming streets. This gives Gracia a unique and authentic feel that sets it apart from other neighborhoods in the city. Additionally, it is a relatively safe and walkable area, which makes it a great place to explore on foot.

L'Eixample

Is a neighborhood built between the 19th and 20th centuries that was constructed as Barcelona expanded beyond the Old City. Its strict street grid pattern that's crossed by wide avenues makes it easy to navigate – and popular for aerial photos. L’Eixample is typically divided into Left Eixample and Right Eixample, which are separated by Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona's most exclusive avenue. Here you will find Gaudí-designed buildings such as La Pedrera and Casa Batlló.

Concentrated in Right Eixample are important historic sites, such as Gaudí's still unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Família, and the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The neighborhood is well-connected and has the most extensive range of accommodation options in the city.
