Better food in this neighborhood than pretty much everywhere else as far as downtown/port area goes. Don't miss it.

This is the hip neighborhood with the best nightlife. Lots of arts during the day and tapas bars at night. Cal Pep is a jewel for lunch.

Just great for wandering around. Loved sampling the different bars and restaurants and getting lost in the different alleyways

Stayed at the K+K, and ate in several restaurants in the area, ran and strolled in the park (Arc of Triumph in the north, parliment in the mid south, zoo far south), a place to wander to the coast, the Ramblas, Sagrada, catch the Metro/walk to the Cathedral/Gothic section or catch the train to Figueres.

El Born is a district of Barcelona full of small streets lined with great small bars, shops and dining experiences. For those who love Melbourne's laneways - El Born is similar - just bigger and older and better. Great place to head to check out the nightlife of Barcelona.

When walking through this area you will be amazed at all the exclusive shops from around the world. Everything is here in the way of designer stores all the way down to H&M. Just of the Rambla there are many streets with additional shops, food, bars.

Really enjoy this area of Barcelona, there are some interested shops, restaurants and bars. Just take your pick! Santa Caterina Market is worthy of visit, far less touristy and the big market on Ramblas. The Church of Santa Maria is a peaceful stop. Take your time and just enjoy the vibe. You could couple this visit with a trip to... More

The winding streets are a treasure with many small shops and restaurants. The district includes priceless buildings such as the Palau de la Musica and the Picasso Museum. My wife specially enjoys the pastry shops some of which have her favorite Tocino del Cielo, a delightful caramelized egg yolk dessert.

What Barri Gotic used to be, before the crowds. Great feel of a real neighbourhood, better prices, and better food.
