10 Historic Walking Areas in Barcelona That You Shouldn't Miss

March 2, 2022 Marissa Gamble

Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

L'Eixample District

Barcelona's 19th-century historic district where visitors find works by famous architects such as Gaudí and Ildefons Cerdà.

Reviewed By 51danielled57 - Melbourne, Australia

This area is full of beauty and architecture, as well as high-end shops. I prefer the first, the buidlings, not the shops! Every building has elaborate architecture, and even the lamp posts have been made to look incredible. Take your time to look around by walking, and looking up to see buidling details that give this area it's grandeur. You will find some of Gaudi's work here too. And if you have cash to spare, the Passeig de Gracia high-end stores will take care of that

Barri de Gracia

Students, artists and political types make their home here, and everyone's welcome to hang out at Placa del Sol, a popular square day or night with its cafes, bars and 19-century architecture.

Reviewed By milliesmum2016 - Christchurch, New Zealand

Barri de Gracia is a really fun area to explore, with wonderful Moderne architecture scattered along the streets, along with a very pleasant local neighbourhood vibe. Nothing particularly touristy about it - just people going about their business in a really lovely place.

Las Ramblas

This pedestrian street is lined with outdoor markets, shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Reviewed By carpediemRP1 - Bruchmuehlbach-Miesau, Germany

Marked by a mixture of modern stores with traditional street food, vendors and several markets and side plazas, this long street covered in trees is an easy walk with something of interest the entire way. Easy walk from Placa Catalunya down to Port Zell along this walkway. Loved it.
