There is so much history in the Gothic Quarter, don't just walk around, get a tour guide and let them bring the history to life. We took two different tours one as a food tour and one just a walking history tour and learned so much about this area. Don't miss it!

This is the very old part of the city. With all of the attention and money that modern tourism have brought to BCN, this area has been cleaned up and is now safe. Narrow streets full of charm and history. The big cathedral is here as well as city hall. Lots of tapas restaurants.

This is one of my favorite areas of Barcelona. So nice to just walk around, get lost and admire its architecture. They kept its old town charm which is amazing. Lots of local restaurants, bars and shops. Some corners have cool art too. The Cathedral’s exterior here looks amazing. When we went there at night outside the cathedral there’s a flea market and a street show where this guy jumped above 3 standing people. Bottomline, I will pick this area to stay and stroll any day rather than La Rambla. This just has so much history.

Possibly the best part of Barcelona so far. It has a wonderful vibe just wandering through the tiny narrow streets. In peak season it might be crowed but when we went in November it was ok. Even better it will cost you nothing.

This is a very nice area of Barcelona, full of narrow streets and interesting buildings. There are also plenty of people and street performers around. It's great to just wander around and stumble across a nice restaurant or tapas bar. Highlights are the cathedral which is very impressive and the Pont del bisbe which connects two buildings.

Just amazing to walk around without an agenda or a time limit. There is just so much to see and relaxing at a cafe and people watch is just a joy. The architecture is something to be beholden to. I would just set up some dedicated time to enjoy the area and enjoy the culture of the quarter. Enjoy.

We enjoyed staying close to the Old Quarter and walking through different parts every day. The small and rambling streets were filled with many old or historical buildings. Some buildings seemed like a jigsaw puzzle having been built by reusing pieces from different eras of Barcelonas history. There were lots of restaurants, bars to eat or drink along with churches, museums to visit and plazas to hang out and people watch or be entertained by street performers. We felt safe walking around here both in the day and night. Nighttime was much less crowded and quieter. It was also nice not seeing and hearing many cars due to the driving restrictions and narrows streets.

The Gothic neighbourhood in Barcelona is very charming. It has narrow streets that smell of paella at night, interesting stories painted on different stones, people trying to sell all sorts of things and many nice secrets. I bought there a silk skirt on sale and ate alone s big paella that I can never forget. I also got blocked in the back of a shop trying on some clothes...with a Pakistani seller that spoke a bad English. But it was fun. The Santa Maria del Mar gothical church is a must for the top views of the Mediterranean Sea from its towers. I love the sea, I love this town. Barcelona has many stories to tell..... next time you come here! 🍋⚓🏖

We LOVED this part of the city. Steeped in history, winding little streets with gorgeous balconies, little squares with cafes, shops and bars. The church is also stunning. A must see when in Barcelona away from the hustle and bustle of city life

This was our second trip to Barcelona, so we knew we wanted to stay in the Gothic Quarter. There is so much to see within easy walking distance. We saw Roman ruins, plenty of churches and great coffee shops and restaurants. Plenty to see and do. With the museums you get a chance to learn about Barcelona.
