Trip Tips

La Rambla
Barcelona's main thoroughfare is called La Rambla. It connects the Plaça de Catalunya in the city's heart with the Christopher Columbus Monument in Port Vell over a distance of 1.2 kilometres. Between the Barri Gotic neighborhood to the east and the El Raval neighborhood to the west, La Rambla serves as a dividing line.

Gotico Area
The picturesque Gothic Quarter, or Barri Gotic, is home to hip pubs, clubs, and Catalan eateries along its ancient winding lanes. The Barcelona History Museum displays the city's Roman ruins. Near Barcelona's Cathedral, artisans offer leather goods and jewellery, and the bustling La Rambla is lined with flower stands and food carts. Weekend art markets are held in the Plaça del Pi, which takes its name from the nearby Gothic church.

Placa Real
The Plaça Reial is a square in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain's Barri Gotic neighborhood. It is a well-liked tourist destination, especially at night, near La Rambla.

Palau Guell
Built between 1886 and 1888, the Palau Güell is a house that Antoni Gaud created for the industrial mogul Eusebi Güell. It is located on the Carrer Nou de la Rambla in Barcelona's El Raval district of Catalonia, Spain. Address: Carrer Nou de la Rambla, 3-5, 08001 Barcelona

Port Vell
Port Vell is a waterfront harbour part of the Port of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain. It was constructed as a part of an urban renewal initiative before the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. It had previously been a decrepit area with abandoned factories, railroad yards, and warehouses. Today it is lined with restaurants and parks and has a thriving dock!

Cathedral of Barcelona
The Gothic cathedral and residence of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, is the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, popularly known as Cathedral of Barcelona.
