Barcelona Pets-Friendly Hotels

Eixample area. If you go from the very centre of Barcelona, Plaza Catalunya, upward, you'll find yourself in Eixample area. This district was built in art nouveau style. You'll like the atmosphere of numerous posh shops, various cafes, bars and restaurants. We strongly advise you to go along beautiful and fascinating Paseo de Gracia street, where among a great number of monuments you can find some works of Gaudi. If you turn to the left from Diagonal Avenue and have a small walk, you'll get to Plaza de Frances Macia. To come back from that place, you should cross the road, turn to the right and go downward Rambla de Catalunya boulevard, and you'll turn out at Plaza Catalunya. On average all the itinerary takes about half a day, but still it depends on speed, fitness shape and your economic condition.

Gothic Quarter, Raval Quarter and boulevard de Ramblas. If you go downward from Plaza Catalunya, you'll come to ancient gothic Barcelona, on the right side you'll see one of the most famous boulevards in Europe – boulevard de Ramblas, you'll also face Raval Quarter with its Museum of modern art. On the left side Gothic Quarter with its marvelous Barcelona Cathedral is located. Without visiting this authentic part of the city your impression of Barcelona would be incomplete. There you can enjoy slow walk across numerous narrow streets, do shopping and also take pleasure of special international atmosphere and listen to various languages and dialects not only of the native, but also of tourists. All this helps to get a full idea of the city, of its past and future. If you get to boulevard de Ramblas, we vastly recommend you to go to the enormous shopping centre Maremagnum. It consists of a great number of restaurants, shops, cafes and clubs. Moreover, it's a good place for entertainment: there is a complex of movie theatres, aquarium and IMAX theatre.
