Things to do in Barcelona, Catalonia: The Best Historic Walking Areas

September 1, 2021 Milan Banda

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.

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.
