Every neighborhood in Barcelona has its pros and cons. The Ciutat Vella (Old Town) is convenient for walking around the center but it’s quite chaotic and the facilities are usually older and more basic. The Eixample district near Passeig de Gracia is an excellent area to stay for transport convenience and proximity to the center, but it’s not for all budgets. Poble Nou is a bit outside the city center but suitable for those looking for a sea breeze and some tranquility. Gracia is a lively and bohemian neighborhood but depending on the area it may be a little inconvenient to reach the city center. We’ve collected all our advice in the post “Where to stay in Barcelona“. For any doubts leave us a comment.
