Lovely area, quieter when we visited it, saw plenty of tempting patisserie and coffee shops as well as some intriguing craft shops More

Great vibe, restaurants (pinchos), bars and views. My fave church in the world is the innocuous but stunningly beautiful church of Born. More

El Born is a cool area with narrow alleys with a variety of shops and restaurants. This is another neighborhood in Barcelona that is easily walkable. The Picasso Museum is located in this area. More

We rented an apartment for our 4 day stay in Barcelona and by dumb luck we would up staying in Born area. Awesome neighbourhood - a bit eclectic, great restaurants and bars, good shopping, close enough to La Rambla if you want to go, far enough away if you want to avoid it. Felt very safe walking at all hours... More

There are things to do in this neighborhood, but even if there is nothing that tickles your fancy, go anyway, because it's fascinating walking in this historic part of town. Barcelona is one of the great walking cities in the world and this is one of the best places to walk. More

Stylish, young with superb shopping. Nice little restaurants and of course the Picasso M. Be careful at night! More

I must admit, Born was one of my favourite place to stroll around when we were in Barcelona. We mostly walked here in the late afternoon/early evening, and it was very lively, but not overly crowded. It's full of shops, bars, wonderful buildings and a few wonderful street performers. It felt very homely, and it could easily be my favourite... More

though not the cleanest streets, nor the most safe I love el Borne. Allways stay in a hotel here since you have a lot of restaurants and great bars around and you are just a few steps away from the Barri Gotic, the Rambla, rhe port etc etc. More

Good ice cream and atmosphere. But watch out for your purse! More
