Amazing architecture! Saw the Temple of Agustus ruins from 1 A.D. and the Cathedral Basilica which was beautiful. Lots of great photo opportunities. A must see in Barcelona!

There is nothing more perfect than pedestrianised zones when on holiday - especially in such historic centres.

We did a guided walking tour of Barri Gotic starting at (and paid-for at) the tourist office on Placa Sant Jaume. Cost was 30E each but discounted to 21E as we had had a bus-turistic ticket earlier in the week.

Ate at a few places in here. Saw the big church. Lovely little lanes full of shops selling all kinds of things. Great way to spend an evening just walking around.

The Gothic quarter is very cool. However you really shouldn't be alone in the quarter at night. The reason is because there are many narrow streets and you could get lost easily. Always travel with a crowd through the gothic quarter at night. It is very historic.

We spent a lot of time in the Gothic Quarter. It is a very beautiful part of the city. It is actually my favorite part. You must take a few walks through this area during your trip!

We took some time to ramble around this district and it was lovely, different shops, squares that open onto churches, a market square where music was being played every time we passed. Unexpected Archaeological museum dating from Roman times. Lots of choice of places to eat and drink.
