From beaches and luxury rooftop bars to independent art galleries and world-famous museums, there's really nothing Barcelona can’t do. When it comes to where to stay in Barcelona, the choice of neighbourhood can seem overwhelming, with so many interesting areas to choose from.
Let us here at Plum Guide help you out with this list of the city's best neighbourhoods.
This charming neighbourhood is where you’ll find sites of the old Roman village that previously stood where Barcelona is now. For a first time visitor, the Gothic Quarter is an instantly hit, with its narrow cobbled alleyways, hidden courtyards and crumbling buildings.
Walking just 10 minutes leads you to the beach in one direction, the Barcelona Cathedral in another, and Ciudadela Park in a third. It's a great base for anyone in Barcelona for a long weekend. You'll feast like a king here, with dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes at your doorstep.
If there’s any Barcelona neighbourhood having a moment right now, it’s Raval. One of the city's most diverse neighbourhoods, as well as one of its more art-focused. In terms of location, Raval is pretty central. Within about 10 minutes, you can reach La Rambla, a pedestrianised, tree-lined street with vendors selling everything from fresh flowers to gelato.

Filled with groundbreaking buildings, charming alleyways with boutiques and cafes, and a beach that’s the envy of all, Barcelona really does have it all. This bustling, vibrant city is ready to welcome you with open arms.
Soak up some sun at the beach Sun, sea and sand are time-tested ingredients for a summer holiday, so let’s kick off with the beach. The obvious, Barceloneta is the closest to the city, around a 20-minute walk away. Sunbathers, surfers, skaters and vendors selling massage. And when it’s time to take a break from the sun try one of the many beach bars around.
Visit La Sagrada Família It doesn’t get much more impressive than Gaudí’s unfinished masterpiece. From the outside, the scale of the giant basilica (111 metres and rising) is awesome. Step inside, and the building seems to have grown instead of being built, with tree-like columns (not for climbing) and the most vibrant stained glass you’ll ever see.
Ride the cable cars to Mount Montjuïc Port Cable Car links Barceloneta with the Miramar gardens on Mount Montjuïc. Elbow your way to the front of the 20-person car to get the best views of the city on the eight-minute ascent. Or take the Telerific de Montjuïc up to the castle and get a birds-eye view of Barcelona. Finish off the day at The Magic Fountain display of music, lights and colour. It’s at the foot of the mountain and has daily shows.
