Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Las Ramblas is a pictoresque tree lined pedestrian street in central Barcelona that stretches for 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) connecting Columbus Monument at Port Vell with Plaça de Catalunya.
It limits Barcelona´s Gothic (to the east) and El Raval Quarters (to the west).
Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said La Rambla was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end."

Stop 2

Here we will find the majestic Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia or simply Barcelona Cathedral, it is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona. It was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries.

Stop 3

Plaça Reial "Royal Plaza" is in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. It hosts many restaurants and some of the city's most famous nightclubs, including Sidecar, Jamboree, Karma and the historic and reinvented cocktail bar Nou Pipa Club. The square is the site of the Hotel Roma Reial and is also known for its many outdoor venues.
The square's lampposts were designed by the Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudí.

Stop 4

The Gothic Quarter is the historic center of Barcelona's old city. It retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares. It also includes the remains of the city's Roman wall and several notable medieval landmarks.

Stop 5

Plaça de Catalunya is a large square in central Barcelona that is generally considered to be both its city centre and the place where the old city (see Barri Gòtic and Raval, in Ciutat Vella) and the 19th century-built Eixample meet.

Some of the city's most important streets and avenues meet at Plaça Catalunya: Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya, La Rambla, and Portal de l'Àngel, in addition to Ronda de Sant Pere, Carrer de Vergara, and Carrer de Pelai. The plaza occupies an area of about 50,000 square metres. It is especially known for its fountains and statues, its proximity to some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, and the flocks of pigeons that gather in the centre.
