Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,133 reviews
This fascinating area is steeped in history, with city hall located in the same spot where kings once reigned. You'll find narrow streets and squares here, with Gothic mansions, museums, historic churches, bars and restaurants. The Placa del Rei is reputedly the place where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella welcomed Columbus after his voyage to America.

5. Ghetto Ebraico

4.5 based on 681 reviews
This historical Jewish Ghetto dates back to 1555, when Pope Paul IV restricted all Jews to a small area of the city, which was then walled in. Today, the ghetto has wonderful eating places with cross-cultural dishes, and a beautiful synagogue with a small museum inside.

This is a part of Rome many miss only a stone throw from Circus Maximus and St Peters. The oldest Synagogue in Rome . With the only Square Cuppola Very interesting museum showing the history of Jewish life in Rome. Then the food only place to find the Jewish Pizza. Actually it is a fruit cake and the Artichoke al la Giuda found only her. The Jewish Pizza is found in a small bakery at the end of the street. Those wanting to see an alternative side of Rome minus the tourists, also sit in one of the several Jewish Restuarants and enjoy a meal. Its worth the side trip
6. L'Eixample District

4.5 based on 747 reviews
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

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.
9. Plaka

Historic neighborhood located at the base of the hill topped by the Acropolis.
Reviewed By megan-woodruff - Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine
This area of town came highly recommended from friends that have visited Athens multiple times. It is full of delicious restaurants, great shopping (touristy stuff and clothes/shoes), and has a very young and hipster-ish vibe. There is plenty to do and see, but it gets pretty crowded and busy, so steer clear if that isn't your scene.
10. Anafiotika

Reviewed By MargieD300 - York, United States
I had read about this group of island-like houses and it was a highlight for me to not only find it but explore this small area of only about 45 homes. Part of the Plaka neighborhood set at the "back" side of the Acropolis, it is picturesque! Built in the 18th century by workers from the island of Anafi, there are small, narrow walkways, steep steps, and worth the climb to the top for a beautiful view of Lycabettus Hill, one of the highest points in Athens!
