The 10 Best Neighborhoods in Barcelona, Catalonia
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.

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.

We walked this area almost everyday and there's always a shop or place that we only just noticed while walking past. Includes Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi and the Cathedral of Barcelona

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

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 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.

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.
