La Rambla

Dividing the old town into two parts, La Rambla is a tree-lined pedestrian street with expansive sidewalks. This famous promenade of Barcelona connects the Plaza de Catalunya in the city center with the Columbus Monument (Mirador de Colom) at Port Vell. As the heart of Barcelona’s social life, the nearly one-mile boulevard features numerous cafes, boutiques, florists, gelaterías, and restaurants. There are a few tourist attractions along La Rambla that are worth a stop: Mercado de La Boqueria, Gran Teatre del Liceu, Plaça Reial, and Palau Güell.

La Rambla is recognized in Hoptale's First-Time Visitor Guides as one of the top things to do in Barcelona.
