Where to stay

Explore the best areas to stay in Barcelona for your type of travel style.

Placa Catalunya

The largest square in Barcelona, Placa Catalunya is considered the heart of the city – it's where many of Barcelona's main streets meet. Stay here and you'll be in the thick of the city, close to the buzzing social scene and popular attractions like La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter. The trade-off: the cost of rooms in nearby hotels tend to be a little bit higher.

La Rambla

Connecting Placa Catalunya with the Christopher Columbus Monument, the tree-lined La Rambla is a thriving pedestrianised street. Enjoy your pick of shopping opportunities, take a trip to the La Boqueria food market, and make sure you stop to admire the Miro Mosaic, created by famous artist Joan Miro. There's a good selection of hotels along La Rambla, but do be prepared for some noise if staying here.

Gothic Quarter

Soak up the culture and architecture of Barcelona in one of the oldest parts of the city: the Gothic Quarter. Let the narrow, winding streets guide you to the many laidback bars, cafes and restaurants. Lodgings range from apartments to boutique hotels, so there's something to suit every style of holiday.

Poble Sec

Poble Sec is nestled between Montjuic and Parallel Avenue (named so as it runs parallel to the equator). A 20-minute walk from La Rambla, book accommodation here and you'll enjoy peaceful, laidback evenings. Reflect on the day's sightseeing over some tapas in one of the many restaurants, or head to one of the nearby theatres, like the El Molino or Teatre Grec.

Barcelona holidays are a fusion of exciting city break and relaxed beach time. Visit Barcelona and you’ll discover beautiful UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, golden beaches, and modern shopping precincts. Montserrat, Gaudi’s Casa Batllo and the famous La Sagrada Familia are just a few attraction highlights. A walk around La Rambla and the beautiful Gothic Quarter will reveal even more of this city’s vibrant arts and culture scene. For some downtime, head to the Barcelona beaches. Pull up a sun lounger and relax in the Spanish sun, before chasing away the heat with a holiday cerveza (beer).
