Location
Las Ramblas is one of the most famous streets in Barcelona. It separates two of the city's neighborhoods, The Gothic Quarter and El Raval, while connecting the Port and waterfront to Plaça de Catalunya. Although it is often referred to as one main avenue, Las Ramblas is actually made up of five different streets and is famous for many attractions, including the Liceu Theatre, the Boqueria Market, and the Wax Museum. You will also find an amazing array of souvenir shops, stalls, restaurants, street performers, cafés and much more, on and around Las Ramblas. The liveliness of the street that can be seen throughout the day, goes on into the night as the number of bars and clubs around the area make it popular for those looking to experience Barcelona's fantastic nightlife.
A quick walk down one of the many side streets off Las Ramblas offers a quieter scene where you will find some authentic Catalan restaurants and unique stores offering traditional products. There are several Metro stops conveniently located on Las Ramblas, so you will always be able to travel around the city with ease from your apartment in Barcelona.
