The Most Beautiful Streets in Barcelona

This charming old boulevard is the main axis of El Born neighbourhood, the city’s bohemian artists’ quarter, home to a thriving nightlife. Back when the city was walled and extended no further than the Ramblas, the Passeig del Born was one of the main hubs of social and economic activity in the city, where people came to trade, work and celebrate. Today it is home to a number of quaint cafés, trendy bars and independent boutiques which give it its buzzing atmosphere.

Starting from just behind the ancient Universitat de Barcelona building, the Carrer d’Enric Granados is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll in one of Barcelona’s less touristy zones. As with the Carrer de Petritxol, there are numerous art galleries all along the street, interspersed this time with cozy cafés and trendy bistros. Half way up the street you can enjoy the greenery of the Plaça del Doctor Letamendi before continuing all the way up as the street stretches deeper into the Eixample neighbourhood.
