Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked into the heart of El Born, this apartment puts you two minutes from the soaring 14th-century Gothic facade of Santa Maria del Mar Basilica – one of Barcelona's most arresting landmarks. When you're ready to slow down, the calm bedroom and bright kitchen-diner make the apartment feel like a retreat from the bustle below. Jaume I and Arc de Triomf metro stations are both close by, so the wider city is easily within reach.

Local guide
About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts

Visit the Cathedral of Barcelona
A picture perfect example of Gothic architecture and one of Barcelona's greatest sights. As beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside.

Pay a visit to the Arco de Triunfo
This arch was built as the main access point during the 1888 Barcelona World Fair and has remained a popular tourist attraction ever since.

Go for a boat ride at Parc de la Ciutadela
This is probably the greenest oasis in all of Barcelona. Created as the city's first public park in the mid 19th Century, it's a lovely place to while away an afternoon.

Eat brunch outside at Brunch & Cake by The Sea
Everything at Brunch & Cake is made by hand, and their slogan is 'In grandmothers we trust!' There's lots of outdoor space, so it's the ideal spot for a coffee or snack in the sun.

Connect with your wild side at the zoo
Barcelona Zoo is located in the Parc de la Ciutadella. Probably most famous for having been home to Snowflake, the only known albino gorilla.

Experience a true Catalan tavern at La Xampanyeria
The speciality of La Xampanyeria is Cava – the house bottle won't break the bank, and you can accompany your sparkling wine selections with typical tapas. A must do in the city!

Pay a visit to Elsa & Fred
Located down a narrow alleyway, you’ll discover a bustling little place with great service, a fun atmosphere and delicious food.

Experience a Brunch with Latin vibe at The Benedict
The Benedict proposes one of the best brunch in Barcelona. Its speciality is, of course, Benedict eggs, but on the menu you will find lots of different dishes with Latin roots.

Discover the beauty of Santa Maria del Mar
This imposing basilica in the Ribera district was built at the height of Principality of Catalonia's maritime and mercantile preeminence – an outstanding example of Catalan Gothic architecture.

Choose your dinner at La Paradeta
The motto is: Sail away with us! This unique cross between a fish market and a restaurant, and it doesn't get much fresher than that. Come and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and great service.

Go for vermut and tapas at Bormuth
With a great atmosphere and a great selection of tapas, Bormuth is a great place to go for a drink and snack.

Enjoy Traditional Tapas at El Xampanyet
Cozy bar with a buzzing vibe offering traditional tapas, cava, and wine. Amazing food, friendly staff, and a great variety of dishes to choose from. Highly recommended for a taste of traditional Barcelona.
