Brief information

Plaça de Catalunya is the heart of Barcelona and the main meeting point for locals and tourists. It was created at the beginning of the 20th century as a link between the old city and the new Eixample district. Today, it is where the most famous streets intersect: Passeig de Gràcia, La Rambla, and Portal de l'Àngel.

The square is always bustling with life: fountains, monuments, street performances, and a lively atmosphere. It often serves as a venue for city festivals and events.

🚲 It's convenient to cross the square by bicycle or scooter and continue your route through Barcelona, making short stops for photos.
