Barcelona has a few historic neighborhoods that you have to experience on foot. The Gothic Quarter, also known as Barri Gòtic, is one of those. With a delightful maze of narrow cobblestone streets and alleyways dotted with relics of ancient Roman buildings, little cafes with sidewalk terraces, and chic boutiques, this historic quarter is definitely worth exploring. Not to be missed is Plaça del Rei, a beautiful square that hosts outdoor concerts.
Gothic Quarter is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Barcelona.
