Barcelona is a city with corners that hold centuries of history. Every street is a witness to events that have shaped its character and are waiting to be discovered by the most curious. Hola Barcelona takes you there!
We propose a walk through the most emblematic and historically rich streets of the city:
Carrer del Bisbe: a bridge to the past
If you stroll through the Gothic Quarter, the Carrer del Bisbe is sure to captivate you. Known for its neogothic bridge, which seems straight out of a medieval tale, this street connects Plaça de Sant Jaume with the Cathedral of Barcelona. But beyond its photogenic nature, the street is a true journey into the city's Roman and medieval past.
Carrer de Montcada: the essence of civil Gothic
This street, located in the Born district, is one of the most elegant and historic in Barcelona. It houses some of the most spectacular Gothic palaces in the city, such as the Palau de la Música, the Palau Nadal, and, above all, the Picasso Museum, which occupies several of these historic buildings. A walk along Carrer Montcada is almost like walking through an open-air museum.
Carrer Petritxol: chocolate with history
If you're a fan of chocolate with biscuits, Carrer Petritxol is a must-visit. This alley in the Gothic Quarter is famous for its chocolate shops and for being one of the first pedestrian-only streets in Barcelona. It also has literary history: it has been a source of inspiration for numerous Catalan writers and poets.
Carrer de les Tàpies: a tribute to industrial tradition
In the Raval district, Carrer de les Tàpies represents the mark of Barcelona’s industrial past. This area was once full of workshops and factories. Today, the Antoni Tàpies Foundation honors this past with an impressive modernist building.
Carrer de Verdi: the heart of Gràcia
And if you want to feel the most bohemian and authentic atmosphere of Barcelona, head to the Gràcia district, to Carrer de Verdi. Known for its cinemas, independent shops, and terraces, this street is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful stroll while discovering the more local side of Barcelona.
