Barcelona Districts

There are ten Barcelona districts which include the popular Cuitat Vella and the Eixample district where many of Gaudi's are located.

The Eixample district is very modern and structured with large tree-lined avenues and boulevards. It's quite the opposite to the narrow cobbled streets of the Ciutat Vella which contain Barri Gòtic, El Born (La Ribera) Barceloneta and El Raval.

The Eixample district is separated from the Ciutat Vella by Plaça Catalunya (central square of Barcelona) and separating El Raval from the rest of the Ciutat Vella is La Rambla which is one of the most famous boulevards in Europe.

From the harbor you can take the cable car to Montjuïc in the district of Sants-Montjuïc where the 1992 Olympic Games were held. This is a very beautiful area of Barcelona with many places to visit such as two of the most famous museums in town and the popular Poble Espanyol (Spanish Village).

Other districts include the bohemian district of Gràcia where Gaudi's Park Guell is located, Les Corts, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu and Sant Martí.
