It's strange how your perceptions change -- I was in Barcelona 14 years ago as a very young 23 year old and thought that this was the most amazing place in the world, where Bacelona began and ended. I just came back from my second visit and although Las Ramblas cannot have changed too much since I was last there... more

It's nice to walk there, but I think it's a bit overrated. In my opinion not worth to travel to all accross town if it's not on your way. We had an apartment closeby so we passed it every day. The artists in different costumes are fun to see. In the early evening and weekends there are more artists. But... more

It's ok but if you're used to Covent Garden it's a bit 'meh'. I accidentally walked down the adjacent road on my first day thinking it was La Rambla until I ended up on Rambla through a side street. The street I started on was much nicer looking and with nicer shops. It was called avinguda portal de la angel... more

We stayed in a hotel on this bustling boulevard and it served as a great central location for us. Las Ramblas is a large tree lined pedestrian friendly street filled with street performers, flower stands, and bird vendors. It's great for a stroll in the late morning before it gets to busy. Enjoy the performers and ambiance, but take precautions... more

Hi all, Stayed here in March 2008. OK I actually stayed on the Ramblas on the busiest corner overlooking the Ramblas which would have been hell if you planned on staying in the room all day because of the noise but was quite quiet in the evening. Basically, the Ramblas is full of all sorts of people and savoury characters.... more

Know that Las Ramblas is just good to walk around, look at people, see different little shops and perhaps sit down for some sangria. You will not do major shopping or meet any interesting people here, it is just intersting to observe and relax here. I would really recommend it to anyone visiting Barcelona, do it in the late afternoon,... more

We went to Las Ramblas during our stay in Barcelona because everyone told us it was a "must-see". Essentially, Las Ramblas is just a long street with lots of shops and cafes and street performers. It, in itself, is not an attraction. I would recommend a stroll down Las Ramblas - allow one hour, beginning at La Boqueria and walking... more

over £9 for a small beer - enough said? I don't think this street lived up to expectations - there was not the atmosphere or entertainment I thought would prevail - I was approached by a rather attractive prostitute though. My £18 for 2 beers was the equivalent of having my pocket picked, so wonder a few streets off into... more

I stayed in a double room with a friend in las ramblas for 2 nigths in May/2009. The room was huge, the shower was very good, the beds were comfortable and the towers were clean but the noise from the street was incredible. The street has lots of passengers/tourists going up and down, so bring your earplugs. There's no TV,... more
