The neighborhood

The Apartment is a 10-minute walk from the Ramblas, the Old Port and 2 to minutes from Montjuic mountain, which is home to the Olympic stadium and exotic botanical gardens.
To the west is the Maritime Museum and various theatres along the main road Parallel. On Nou de la Rambla, which crosses Parallel, is the house known as Palau Guell, designed by legendary local architect Antoni Gaudi for his patron.

Las Ramblas, which is only is 10-minute walk from the apartment, is considered the heart of the city. Down the elegant avenue many Barcelonians take their evening stroll while the sun sets behind MontJuic. The tree-lined pedestrian strip is filled with flowers, outdoor cafes and restaurants, street performers and artists and connects the Plaza Cataluña with Barcelona's harbor. A 15-minute stroll towards the Mediterranean sea takes you to the Barceloneta: a seaside neighborhood famous for its white-sand beach and fresh seafood restaurants. Other nerby attractions include the Plaza de España (Magic Fountain), La Boqueria, Plaza Catalunya, and Barcelona's spired Gothic Cathedral. Also conveniently located is the green line of the BCN metro which takes you to the Gracia neighborhood and Gaudí's Paseo de Gracia houses.

How to get there

From the airport :

• The easiest is to take a taxi from the airport (approx 16 Euro's + 0.85 Euro per piece of luggage). It's best to check the estimated price with the driver before going, in order to avoid the driver cheating with the taximeter.
• There is also a train from the airport. It is slower and a little cheaper, but it is often delayed, which is very unfortunate when you want to catch a flight.
• A good option is the airport bus right outside from the terminal. It costs around 3,60 Euro and will bring you to Plaza Espanya. However, be careful when arriving. Many people get there luggage stolen in the confusion of arriving.

From Plaza Espanya

• You can take a taxi (approx 5 Euro + 0.85 Euro per piece of luggage) or take the subway from Plaza Espanya, only one stop to Poble Sec (line 3, line green). 
• The best buy is probably to buy a 10 tours card (approx. 6,30 Euro's) - it is half price per journey.

While you are at Plaza Espanya you can save some time by going to the turist information (under ground close to the airport bus stop). Here you can pick up maps and other information.
