The Gothic Neighborhood is the heart of Old Barcelona, a medieval city built around the Roman Walls, it is the first site that you must explore after discovering Las Ramblas.

This historic mix of alleys and plazas, mostly for pedestrians, is full of character and enchantment and holds many shops, bars, and restaurants.  The Gothic Neighborhood is located between the famous Ramblas and Ví Laietana, with Plaza Catalunya crossing at the top and the port below.From here, all of the major attractions are easy to reach, for example, the Roman ruins are located below the Museum of the History of the City.

On the southern side of the Gothic Neighborhood, you can find the Plaza Real (Royal Plaza), a plaza surrounded by palm trees, just near the bars and restaurants of Las Ramblas that offers a relaxing site to rest and people-watch during the day. At night the plaza becomes a central point for the nocturnal crowd.

The journey through the Gothic Neighborhood also includes the nearby Museum of the History of the City, a Gothic building relocated to the area in 1931.

If you wish to experience the most authentic part of Barcelona, reserve a Barcelona apartment located in the Gothic Neighborhood or in its surrounding area.
