Watch the world pass you by from Placa del Sol. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have some fascinating tales to tell.

When you've finished up at this Gràcia public square, why not check out Sagrada Familia, La Rambla, and Plaça de Catalunya? They're near Placa del Sol and also a hit with tourists.

10/10 Exceptional! (47 reviews)

Everything was perfect with regard to the accommodation a solid 10 out of 10. Cleaning staff very helpful every time I requested fresh towels, toilet paper etc. Wish all apartment accommodations were clean/good as this. Only issue I have with the accommodation is its location which is not the apartments fault but more of the surrounding locals issue. You will most likely want to walk if you’re going towards the centre, Las Ramblas, beach etc. This means you will have to pass through the rough neighbourhoods of along Carrer de Sant Antoni Abat/similar which is full of Morrocan/Algerian thieves. Many Moroccans tried to steal my watch 3 times within this area. I have 3 crime reference numbers with 3 different individuals and had to go to court to prosecute one of them. Barcelona has really broken my heart as it was a potential returning destination with the same accommodation but unfortunately I won’t be coming back again to Barcelona as I’m put off by the thieves.

Passeig de Gràcia

4.5/5(191 reviews)

One of Spain’s most expensive streets has masterworks by Gaudí, Falqués and more, interspersed with designer boutiques and rather opulent cafés.

The former house of an influential aristocrat in #Spain. Inside there are #free exhibitions which are constantly changing depending when you go. Also inside is a tourist information centre. Lovely #garden out the back to which would be nice to sit and read a book.
