Itinerary

The Gothic Quarter, or "Barri Gòtic," is the historic heart of Barcelona, characterized by its narrow, winding streets and medieval architecture. This charming neighborhood is home to some of the city's oldest buildings, including the Barcelona Cathedral, Roman ruins, and picturesque squares like Plaça Reial.
The Barcelona Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, is a stunning Gothic masterpiece located in the heart of the city's Gothic Quarter.
The Paseo Marítimo is a scenic seaside promenade in Barcelona that stretches along the city’s coastline, offering beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.
St. James Square, or Plaça de Sant Jaume, is a historic and politically significant square located in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. It has been a central gathering place since Roman times, where the city's ancient forum once stood. Today, it is flanked by two important government buildings: the Palau de la Generalitat, the seat of the Catalan government, and the Barcelona City Hall.
Plaza del Rey, or Plaça del Rei, is a historic square located in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, known for its medieval charm and significance. Surrounded by majestic buildings, it was once the royal residence of the Counts of Barcelona and later the Kings of Aragon. Key landmarks in the square include the Palau Reial Major (Royal Palace), the Chapel of Santa Àgata, and the stunning Saló del Tinell, a grand medieval hall.
Las Ramblas is one of Barcelona's most famous streets, stretching 1.2 kilometers from Plaça de Catalunya to the Columbus Monument by the waterfront. This bustling pedestrian boulevard is lined with trees, shops, cafés, and street performers, making it a vibrant hub of activity day and night.
