Visitors fall in love with the labyrinth of winding Roman-era and medieval lanes in the Barcelona Gothic Quarter. History radiates from every arch, column, and Catalan cornice lining the cobblestone alleys. Interspersed among the amazing relics are museums, restaurants, bars, and boutiques that bring the neighborhood to life. Exploring the area’s narrow-pedestrianized streets is one of the best things to do in Barcelona. Part of the fun of wandering the Barcelona Gothic Quarter is taking unexpected turns, but there is a lot to see. Use our Barcelona walking tour to help organize your time.
