  • Gothic Quarter, a touch of Italy in Barcelona: In the Gothic Quarter, the narrow streets and charming squares evoke the atmosphere of some Italian cities like Rome, Florence, or Venice. The local shops include fashion and craft stores, as well as artisanal gelato shops and cafés. Plaça Reial, with its historic buildings and Mediterranean-inspired architecture, is an ideal place to enjoy a break as if you were in a Roman square.
  • Eixample: a journey into European modernism: The Eixample neighborhood is an ode to Modernism, with buildings designed by Antoni Gaudí and other masters of the era. This area offers a sense of order and sophistication that recalls great European capitals like Paris and London. Majestic buildings like Casa Batlló and La Pedrera rival Europe’s finest works of art, and the tea rooms and exclusive boutiques add a touch of luxury that will make you feel at the heart of the great European cities.
  • El Born, a touch of the Mediterranean: The Born neighborhood offers a sense of freshness and Mediterranean style that reminds one of the southern European coasts. Stroll through the small shops and charming cafés, where you can taste wines and tapas that evoke the coastal regions of France, Greece, and Italy.
