For a historical immersion, the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) seduces with its medieval streets and its authentic atmosphere.

After the cultural visits, head to the Barceloneta Beach for a moment of relaxation facing the Mediterranean. Barcelona is one of the few large European cities to combine cultural heritage and beaches within walking distance.
