Center of barcelona: Barcelona 2023 – What is the city center of Barcelona?

Where To Stay in Barcelona for First Time Visit?

Page Content

Q: We wish to visit as much as possible of Barcelona probably by public transport so we would like to stay in a hotel centrally located (3 or 4 star hotel). What is the best area I should stay in for a first time visitor? Thank You.

A: For a first time visitor we would recommend you stay in the most central locations, with the best transport connections and ready access to sightseeing and attractions. These areas are:

Plaça de Catalunya
Las Ramblas
Gothic Quarter (the old town)

These areas have ready access for transport to the rest of the city via the metro and bus systems and to Barcelona Airport with the Aerobus or TMB bus running from Plaça de Catalunya.

However if budget is a concern and you want to find cheaper accommodation you may wish to consider staying out from the heart of the city centre but still with good access e.g. Poble Sec, or Montjuïc / Plaça España. Poble Sec to La Rambla is only 8 minutes away on the metro yet the hotels in this area are considerably cheaper than in the heart of the city centre.

Barcelona city is actually a lot smaller than you might imagine. You can reach Plaça de Catalunya (the epicentre of Barcelona) by metro in no more than 45 minutes maximum travel time from the furthest metro stop from the city centre. However most of the time your metro journey to the city centre will be considerably less than this – typically 10 to 15 minutes.

We recommend that you ensure your hotel is a short walk to a metro stop. You could then stay in a hotel almost anywhere in the city centre (Zone 1) and still have ready access to the attractions via the metro system.

How to Calculate The Durations of Your Metro Journey

All approximately 2 minutes per metro stop. If you need to make a change to a different metro line on your journey then add an extra 10 minutes for the change. Use our Barcelona metro map to plot your route.

What are Barcelona neighbourhoods like?

We have produced several resources that will help you decide which is the best area for your hotel.

Best Barcelona areas for a family visit?

Barceloneta is popular with families. The reason is that it provides ready access to Barcelona’s beaches, and has a good number of apartments to rent, with plenty of mini markets for buying groceries and supplies. Families often want additional facilities over a hotel and for this reason apartment rental are popular with families. Barceloneta also has a “community feel” to it which may be a preferable environment for a family.

Barcelona districts and city centre?

Barcelona has over 2000 years of history. During this time, the city has witnessed a variety of historical events, its appearance reflects a variety of eras. Today, on the territory of Barcelona, one can distinguish several areas that are built up at different times, reflecting different architectural ensembles, having different infrastructure and, as a result, different prices for accommodation. Let’s figure out where is the best place to stay in Barcelona?

Barcelona city centre: where is it?

Co. and in many large European cities with a rich history, in Barcelona one can single out the so-called historical center – the place where this beautiful city originates from.

However, far from everywhere the historical center is fixed in the administrative division of the city, and many tourists have to delve into maps and guidebooks for a long time in order to understand where it is located. The authorities of Barcelona have simplified our task as much as possible: the main administrative district of the city is called Ciutat Vella, that is, the Old Town. These are such places popular with guests of the city as the Gothic Quarter, Barceloneta, Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya. Therefore, finding a place to live here or in the vicinity is the perfect solution!

Here are some great options:

The administrative district of Barcelona’s Old Town (Ciutat Vella) can be subdivided into several small historical districts (quarters), rather dissimilar to each other (shown in blue on the map above). Therefore, let’s talk about each separately.

Gothic Quarter ( El Gotic)

It is widely known and interesting to tourists, first of all, not as a place to stay, but as a cluster of a huge number of attractions. The Gothic Quarter is the place where Barcelona was born, the starting point of its richest history. Can it be considered as a place of residence for guests of the city? Quite! Although, let’s be honest, this is not the most ideal place in terms of price / quality ratio.

+ city center – the “heart” of Barcelona in every sense

+ a huge number of shops, restaurants, cafes

+ quite close to the sea

– 002 – endless flow of tourists, very noisy

Metro stations: Cataluna, Liceu, Drassanes, Jaume I.

Recommended reading: Barcelona public transport: prices, fares, maps

Attractions: we recommend you to refer to the article Gothic Quarter

Hotels in the Gothic Quarter

For budget tourists, the Gothic Quarter, as mentioned above, is far from the most suitable place. Although there are still a couple of interesting options here.

For example, Hostal Fina (2 *) – a hotel with classic rooms that have a private bathroom. The cost of a double room starts from 75 euros, a triple room – 95 euro .

Three-star Barcelona House offers excellent comfortable double rooms for 100 euros . The beaches of Barcelona in 15 minutes, a stone’s throw – the famous La Rambla.

For those who prefer luxury options and are willing to spend a lot of money on it – Catalonia Catedral (4 *) .

Raval ( El Raval)

Another well-known quarter of the Old City is El Raval, located next to the Gothic Quarter and has gained quite a bad reputation This is a kind of “ghetto” in Barcelona. At the end of 19- at the beginning of the 20th century, brothels flourished here, robbers were operating, etc. Over the past few decades, local authorities have made numerous attempts to put the Raval in order and have achieved some success. Nevertheless, prostitution still exists here, as well as petty thieves (pickpockets). Recently, this place was chosen by Arab emigrants. Such a motley life is in full swing here around the clock. In view of all this, the narrow streets of this area are rather dirty and gloomy. However, many travelers do not bypass this area, but on the contrary, purposefully take walks through it. Raval is very original and unique, and this is what attracts visitors to the city.

+ originality

+ nightlife

+ low (for the city center) housing prices

+ good location – not safe

Price for tourists, especially at night

Metro stations: Paral-lel, Liceu, Drassanes.

Attractions: Museum of Modern Art of Barcelona, nearby – Palau Güell, La Rambla.

Hotels in the Raval area

An excellent option is the Residència d’Investigadors. Located near La Rambla, 200 meters from the metro station. Breakfast is included in the price and free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms. The price for a double room is 100 euros .

Hotel H La Paloma offers double rooms for 80 euros , which is quite good for the center of Barcelona. Perfect for those who stay in Barcelona for a short time (several days). The room has a private bathroom, free wi-fi. Nearby is the metro station Sant Antoni.

Hotel Turin is a typical three-star hotel with classic double rooms ( 170 euros per night). It is located almost at the very La Rambla boulevard.

Budget options – Hostal River, located just a few steps from La Rambla and Liceu metro station. Double rooms with shared bathroom for 55 euros .

El Born (El Born)

Another neighbor of the Gothic Quarter is El Born. The area is perfect for all categories of tourists, it can be called the “golden mean”. Its central location and proximity to the beaches make it a very convenient location without the hustle and bustle of, say, the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta, discussed below. The area’s main street is lined with a large number of restaurants, bars and boutiques.

+ location

+ proximity to beaches

+ shopping, cafes, restaurants

Metro stations: Jaoneutaquina I, Arc de Triomf, Urina

Places of interest: Picasso Museum, La Rambla, Santa Maria del Mar, French Station (Estación de Francia), nearby – Ciutadella Park and Barcelona Zoo.

El Born area hotels

For budget travellers, we can recommend Pension Francia or Pension Ciudadela – double rooms with shared bathroom, starting from 55 euros . Located near the French Station, in close proximity to the coast of Barcelona.

On the border of Barceloneta and Born, there is an excellent Hotel Lyon, the price of which includes breakfast, has its own bathroom, free wi-fi. Its location can be called ideal: the bars and restaurants on the main street of Born are just a few minutes away, as well as the beaches. The cost of a double room – from 100 euros per day.

At the opposite end of the district, near Plaza Catalunya, there is a good budget option – Hostal Dragonflybcn (about 60 euros per night for a double room).

Those wishing to stay in the heart of the area, not far from the Picasso Museum, should pay attention to the three-star Hotel Banys Orientals. The hotel offers classic comfortable rooms with all amenities. The hotel has a restaurant.

Barceloneta ( Barceloneta)

A small quarter of Barceloneta, once a fishing village, stretches along the beach of the same name, which is the most popular in Barcelona. This beach is the main and in fact the only attraction of Barceloneta. All life and infrastructure are centered around it. The quarter is rich in restaurants and cafes with seafood dishes. There are practically no large supermarkets here, everything is tied to small shops with typical products and goods that you may need on the way to the beach. There are also very few hotels here, but you can find an apartment. Not far away on the embankment is the Opium club, so in the evening and at night in Barceloneta and its environs, youth life is in full swing.

+ beach

+ restaurants and cafes, clubs

– “tourist” prices for everything

– poor infrastructure 9013 metro stations

Barceloneta

Attractions: Barceloneta beach , nearby – Old Port, Columbus Monument

Hotels in Barceloneta

As mentioned above, Barceloneta is scarce in hotels. From what is available, we recommend the three-star Hotel 54 Barceloneta. This hotel has a terrace with picturesque views of the old port. To find an apartment, you can contact the AirBnb service.

Eixample

In the central part of modern Barcelona, the Eixample district, which arose in the 19th century, stretches. If the quarters of the Old Town of Barcelona arose, as a rule, spontaneously and were built up chaotically, then Eixample is an example of an organized and well-thought-out urbanization. The layout of this area, designed by I. Serda, is very interesting. If you look at any Eixample map, you will immediately catch the eye of a lot of squares of the correct geometric shape, which together form a grid that resembles a field for playing a sea battle. These squares are small blocks of the Eixample, which are formed by straight streets.

This layout is strictly observed throughout the district. This simplifies the movement of transport, provides good illumination, ventilation. At first glance, such an unusual layout may seem inconvenient for guests of the city – it is quite easy to get lost, because every street, every intersection is very similar to each other. But over time, smaller details (signs, shops) will become a kind of landmarks.

The area is cut through by Diagonal Avenue, Barcelona’s main transport artery. This is the only street that violates the squareness of the area. Eixample is not considered a tourist area, it is home to the middle class of the city. In fact, there are more than enough hotels and hostels here, including budget ones. You can also rent an apartment. The area will be of interest primarily to those for whom Barcelona is of interest not as a resort, but as an important cultural and historical center. Thanks to a dense transport network, it is easy to get to anywhere in the city from here.

+ cleanliness

+ excellent transport infrastructure

+ shops, cafes, bars

– far from the sea

attractions 14 Gaudí architecture: Casa Mila, Casa Batlló, Sagrada Familia, nearby – Agbar Tower

Metro stations: Passeing de Gracia, Diagonal, Girona, Tetuan, Monumental, Sagrada Familia

Eixample Hotels

For budget travelers we recommend Hostal Balmes Centro , HostalBia and Hostal El Ninot – double rooms from 50 to 60 euros per day.

A room at Sunotel Junior will cost a little more ( 90-100 euros ). This hotel has a rooftop swimming pool with brilliant views of the city. There is wi-fi. You can book a room with breakfast included.

For 85 euros you can book a room with a balcony, private bathroom, free wi-fi at Hostalin Barcelona Diputación.

The three-star SM Hotel Sant Antoni offers comfortable, modern rooms for 95 euros. Buffet breakfasts are served. Similar options – Barcelona Century Hotel and SM Hotel Teatre Auditori

Gracia

Being an independent city until the end of the 19th century, the quiet and peaceful area of Gracia is not popular with tourists. First of all, because it is very far from the sea and the historical center of Barcelona. But there are also certain advantages. For example, relatively low housing prices. There are not many hotels here, but guest houses and apartments are common.

Gracia is famous for its cafes and restaurants. The area is home to the famous Parc Güell. Gracia is partly located in the so-called upper zone of Barcelona, so it can offer great views of the city.

+ silence, calmness – located away from tourist crowds

+ picturesque views

– remoteness from the historical center and beaches of the city0014 Parc Güell, Casa Vicens

Hotels Gràcia

The Catalonia Park Güell (3*) has a rooftop swimming pool with excellent views. The rooms have their own bathroom and free wi-fi. Breakfast is served at the hotel.

Hotel BestPrice Gracia offers classic double rooms for 80 euros .

Slightly cheaper, for 70 euros rooms in Hostal Lesseps.

Guide to the center of Barcelona – one day in the city

Page Content

This article describes the best places to visit in the center of Barcelona in one day. I spent one day walking around Barcelona and spent it in what I think is the perfect day in the city centre. I started my walk in the El Born area of the old town, walked along the Ramblas to the Boqueria market, then wandered into the El Raval area and climbed up to Passeig de Gràcia, thus passing most of the center of Barcelona.

This guide to the center of Barcelona can be used in two ways. Either you can follow one of the links to the place you are interested in, or you can follow the link to a page about the El Born area. At the end of all pages of this guide to the districts of the city there are links to the next district.

I will tell you about the most basic sights, smells and sounds that a first-time tourist will encounter in the city, I will also supplement my story with a description of local gems located far from the beaten tourist tracks.

Below, under each heading, there are links that will take you to my impressions of the respective areas.

Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Apparently it is worth thanking for this combination of the sun, sights and cultural heritage, with an important plus in the form of beaches. Arriving only for the weekend, you will have very little time to see all the most interesting. Of course, you have most likely already heard of places like the Ramblas or the Sagrada Família. But I believe that the real experience of Barcelona cannot be obtained without a morning coffee in a sunny square or a long lunch at a local restaurant. These moments are as important as seeing major sights, especially if you are visiting for the second or third time.

El Born is part of the old town in the center of Barcelona.

Passeig del Born

Tourists in Barcelona are always eager to visit the old city (“Ciutat Vella”). But you probably didn’t know that this part of the city consists of several districts (“barrios”), and not just the Gothic quarter. My favorite barrio in the old town is El Born. This area is closest to the port, it is not as touristy, and rather richer than the Gothic quarter.

Reading my El Born guide will tell you that there are good places off the beaten track.

Plaça St Jaume is a square in the heart of the Gothic quarter in the center of Barcelona.

It is a ten minute walk from the El Born area towards the Ramblas. If you walk along Calle Argenteria, you will pass Via Laietana and end up on Calle Jaume I, where Plaça St Jaume is located, on your way to the Ramblas. This is where the City Hall of Barcelona is located. I enjoy walking around this large and lively square. During my walk, she looked especially beautiful in the midday sun.

Las Ramblas – the most famous street in the center of Barcelona

Classic street performer on the Ramblas

Las Ramblas is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Barcelona. Some people like her and some don’t. But one thing I can say for sure – no trip to the center will be considered complete without it. This street stretches from the port to Plaça de Catalunya – right through the very center of the city.

Flower stand on the Ramblas

As you walk along the boulevard, don’t forget to stop and watch a variety of street performers. There are living statues everywhere, but there are also capoeira dancers, break dancers and just musicians. There are also many stalls and stalls on the street. Starting from the port, you can see artists and cartoonists, after which there are flower stalls and pet shops, but be warned, animal lovers may not like the conditions in which animals are kept there.

Boqueria Food Market is Barcelona’s largest food market in the city centre.

No trip to Barcelona should be complete without a visit to one of Europe’s most famous food markets. In this place you can work up your appetite before dinner. There you will find a huge selection of stalls, which have all sorts of edibles, including strange and wonderful.

For more information about the Boqueria market, see my detailed report of the visit to the Boqueria market, with information about lesser known places

Menu del Dia (set menu) is a good way to dine in the city center

Rumor has it that the very concept of Menu del Dia in Spain is in fact the law. It comes from the idea that all people should be able to eat at least one inexpensive meal a day. It is for this reason that almost all restaurants offer set menus at lunchtime Spanish time (usually from 13:00 – 15:00). It usually consists of three courses, bread and a drink, all at a reasonable price.

Raval – part of the old town in the center of Barcelona.

Metro: Liceu (Green Line, L3) or Universitat (Red Line, L1)

After a three-course meal, you might want to take a walk. Behind the Boqueria market (Boqueria) is the El Raval area (El Raval). This area is part of the old city. We can say that this is the mischievous little brother of the El Born area (El Born) – it is noisier, dirtier, shabbier, but it is very cool there!

For more information about the El Raval area, see the guide to the El Raval area of Barcelona – a local expert recommends interesting and uncrowded places.

Plaça Catalunya is a square in the very center of Barcelona

Plaça Catalunya

Walking down Calle Tallers, you will find yourself at the beginning of the Ramblas, where it meets Plaça Catalunya. This is one of the largest squares in Barcelona, it ends the city center. It is well located in the main tourist information center of Barcelona, which is definitely worth a visit if you have any questions. They always helped me there.

Passeig de Gràcia – street in the center of Barcelona with many shops and cultural monuments

Loewe at Passeig de Gràcia

Passeig de Gràcia is a wide and glamorous street that starts from Plaça Catalunya. It’s a pretty street that’s great for daytime strolls, along tree-lined sidewalks, past designer shops and cafes. During my walk, the sun had already begun to set, illuminating the old and ornate buildings with soft evening light.

Reading my guide to Passeig de Gràcia will tell you that there are good places off the beaten track.

Dinner in the city center

Tapaç 24

Tapaç 24 is a tapas bar on Passeig de Gràcia in the city centre.
Having dined on the three-course set menu, Menu del Dia, I often find myself thinking that the evening is a great opportunity to eat tapas. These are small snacks that can be shared by several people, so they can be hearty or light according to your desire.

Tapaç 24 is my favorite bar on Passeig de Gràcia. This restaurant was opened by Carles Abellan – the famous Spanish chef. This is the place where you can try the typical Catalan variety of Spanish tapas prepared to a high standard.

When the day is over and it’s time to rest yourself and your full belly, take a stroll through the streets of Barcelona and admire how they sparkle in the night. This, of course, provided that you are not going to go to bars and nightclubs! There is something for everyone in the center of Barcelona.
