Hotel
Barcelona is a very fun and exciting city. From world-renowned architecture to beautiful beaches, Barcelona has tons to offer to all types of visitors. These are some of the areas we recommend you considering for your hotel / AirBnB: - Barrio Gotico / El Born (Old City) - historical and geographical heart of the city, close to most of the important landmarks - Eixample - bordering the Old City to the northwest, this is where you will find most of Barcelona's Modernist buildings (including Sagrada Familia). It is also a great area for shopping and dining. - Gràcia - further northwest is Gràcia - a village within a city. Largely residential neighborhood populated with young families and arty types. - Other areas closer to the beach and with an active nightlife: Poble Sec, Barceloneta, Poblenou. If you have any questions on where to stay, do not hesitate in reaching out to us, and we will be more than happy to help you!
