No-one ever leaves barcelona without seeing the ramblas.
With all kinds of people strolling up and down, both night and day, La Rambla is
a magical place where you can go shopping while taking in the history of Barcelona. From its origins as a channel for the city's rainwater, today La
Rambla is a pedestrianised boulevard that sweeps you down from the city centre
right to the port. Here you'll find everything - bars and restaurants for every taste, news stands with the day's papers from all over the world, flower stalls, theatres and shopping centres.
La Rambla begins at Plaça de Catalunya square and ends at the Moll de les Drassanes dock (where in the olden days ships were built and repaired), with its statue of Christopher Columbus. On the way, you will be entertained by its many human statues and portrait artists, attractions that bring such vividness to this emblematic street.
A stroll down La Rambla is a unique experience, taking you past impressive places like the Boqueria Market, the Liceu Opera House and the Palau de la Virreina (Vicereine's Palace). Also just a step away is the historic heart of the city, a varied commercial area and several museums.
And all this is right next to your hotel, a complete experience for you to enjoy, right in the very centre of Barcelona.
