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.

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!

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...

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

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.

A must visit place in Barcelona with cool fountains and variety of cafes near by.

Heart of the OldTown, big square, with beautiful statues, like a park. Walking distance to main touristic attractions and neighbourhoods. LaRambla is 2 min walk away. Place for street performancers.

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,

Shoppers in search of authentic, one-of-kind gifts typically find themselves browsing among the chic boutiques that surround Plaza Catalunya, four blocks from our Barcelona hotel.

Plaça Catalunya from above. Perhaps the best view of Barcelona's main square!

This is a pretty site, although surrounded by parked motorbikes. It's a good point of reference for those wandering about and exploring the area.

To stay safe: Have your bags and backpacks in front of you and zipped up and ignore all who approach you, be it to take a photo, do a survey, to make a donation etc

It's the connection point of my three favourite avenues; La Rambla, Rambla de Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia.

Ice skate in Plaça Catalunya. When it comes to Christmas activities, nothing can compare to gliding along ice all wrapped up in your favourite hat, gloves, scarf and coat :)
