Barcelona |
The Gothic Quarter is the heart of Barcelona's old town. Built on top of the remains of an ancient Roman settlement, this is where most tourists head first when exploring Barcelona. The atmospheric streets wind and bend their way throughout the quarter. The fun lies in exploring; don't be afraid to get lost! The fascinating city history museum is located here also, as are the ancient Roman walls and city cathedral. A magnet for artists and students, over the last few years quite a few young designers have moved in and opened up trendy fashion outlets. Barri Gòtic is also the place for antiques, crafts and souvenirs. Plaça Nova houses an antiques market on Thursdays, while Plaça de Sant Josep Oriol fills with stalls selling crafts on Thursdays and Fridays. Don't leave the area without sampling a delicious hot chocolate in one of the atmospheric Chocolaterías. Review © 2009, Wcities |
