This is a great place to start your Barcelona exploring. Very lively at night, and in a great area close to La Rambla and Gaudi houses.

A large, beautiful plaza in heart of the city. A transportation hub which includes the Aerobus. Right next to the start of Las Ramblas. Lots of restaurants, stores like Corte Ingles and pigeons!

Here is the heart of the city. You can go to La Rambla, Passeig De Gracia, Barri Gotic, Plaça Reial and the coast by walking. Also metro stations are in every corner of the city.

The main square in Barcelona. Anything special itself but it is in the city center where main brands and malls are established. It is a must for tourists, connects Las Rambles, Portal de l'Àngel...

Check out the Monumento Francesc Masia. It symbolizes Cataluna’s history, particularly its future, which is uncertain; represented by the unfinished steps of the sculpture.

This is where people@gather when anything important happens and is the beginning of the Rambla Catalunya one direction and La Rambla going the other. See restaurants, bars, cafés,marches,in this spot

A beautiful shopping area that connects to a market, where you can eat delicious seafood before resuming on your shopping trip. It’s kind of like the Champs-Élysées of Barcelona, a shopper’s paradise.

If you are from outside the EU and will claim tax free, shop at El Corte Ingles most of your needs (if you can) to save on Tax Free fees. It has all the clothing's, beauty supplies, etc u'll need,
