Apartment located 10 minutes walking to Las Ramblas, the most
famous Boulevard of the city, and many other importants cultural and
tourist sights, such as MACBA museum 2 minutes walking, Santa Monica art
center, Port Vell and Maremagnum.
Strolling down the Rambla, on your right is the Barri del Raval, In
the Raval you will find many small restaurants and night bars where you
can spend a very pleasant evening.
In Calle Montalegre you'll find the Centre de Cultura
Contemporània de Barcelona, which houses various exhibitions and the
restored Museu d'Art Contemporani.
Further down the Ramblas, in Calle Nou de la Rambla, is the
Palau Güell, by Gaudí. You should not miss Pl. Reial, on your left,
with its archway and palm trees (some say the tallest of Europe). It used
to have a bad reputation, but has now become one of the safest places in
the city. From this square go to Calle Ferran, which leads to Pl.
Sant Jaume, where the Palau de la Generalitat and the Town Hall can
be found.
Once in the Barri Gòtic, the best thing to do is to wander
round the small streets, exploring them for yourself. But don't miss the
Pl. de Sant Josep Oriol, with its afternoon concerts. Pl. de
Sant Felip Neri, the most romantic of the city, the Cathedral with its
fine cloister, the Calle del Bisbe and the Pl. del Rei.
