Barri Gotic Walk, Barcelona, Spain

Apr 27, 2023 | City, Religion, Spain

The charming Gothic Quarter, or Barri Gòtic, has narrow medieval streets filled with trendy bars, clubs and Catalan restaurants.

Barri Gotic: Pla de la Seu, s/n, 08002 Barcelona

With its iconic, old-Europe streets and alleys, this picturesque neighborhood is the very heart of Barcelona. It blends historic artifacts from its days under Roman dominion up through the Spanish Civil War with a vibrant modern-day culture of artisan shops and authentic culinary experiences. Avid explorers will be thrilled to discover quaint terraces and plazas brought to life by the many small bars and local musicians lasting late into the night.

Walking to Barcelona Cathedral, which is at the heart of Barri Gotic, starting from Placa de Catalunya.

This street, Avinguda Del Portal De Langel, is next to La Rambla and goes in the same direction.

The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Catalan: Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia), also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
