A fantastic area to explore, narrow streets crammed full of shops, bars and historic gems such as the basilica and the cathedral you can not fail to be enchanted by this area.

Feels like you are walking back in time when you wander through the narrow streets and passages. Great architecture, great little bars and cafes, fun little pieces of history. I would encourage you to try and get lost in the maze, it is super safe and absolutely captivating.

This is a place taken from the pages of history. Super place to see and feel a sense of an area that has not changed over the years. Well worth the walk!

There are several areas worth strolling through in Barcelona - particularly on a nice day. This is one of them. Allow at least 2 or 3 hours so you aren't hurried.

We just walked around, using a Frommers walking tour and our own eyes. The printed tour had several errors (turn right instead of left) but that just led to more discoveries. Unlike Naples, all the back alleys felt fun and inviting, and there were many interesting plazas, churches, monuments, etc. There is a cafe/bar almost every 10 feet, to stop... More

Beautiful buildings, nice shops. Was able to find some unique items in some of the quaint shops. Beware some of the touristy, over-priced shops. Worth visiting.

This is a really nice place just to go walkabouts, it is full of countless narrow streets and unique shops for everyone. bring water or drink with you as the prices do increase around this area. www.earthbounds.com
