If you really want to feel the vibe of the city come to Las Ramblas. This pedestrian street is home to many cafes. Just sit in any of the café and watch people go by. All the cafes have a relaxing ambiance. You can sit there or take a stroll or check out the book stalls, flower stands and handicraft stores. This is one of the most vibrant places of the city where you will find singers, dancers, jugglers, living statues, puppeteers and sidewalk artists. Spent some time in Las Ramblas and then visit Placa Real where you will find plenty of bars and restaurants.



If you don’t have any interest in regular cafes or restaurants, come to Barri Gotic, the medieval Gothic quarter where you will find many tapas cafes ...
... and bars. Don’t forget to buy a FC Barcelona Football ticket. Also check out ‘Els Quatre Gats’, Picasso’s old hangout which is famous for its bohemian charm. It has been renovated but the charm is not lost. Do you want to explore the working class area of the city? Come to the old Barcelona section on the water front.
