Basic Barcelona Info

Where to Stay

There are a lot of great areas you could choose in Barcelona.  Personally, I find the Gothic Quarter and El Born area to be the most lively and fun area to stay.  They are the areas with the charming streets you want to walk around and shop, the little alleys and cute places to sit and sip a drink, and the action you're looking for.  While it is nice to be near the Sagrada Familia to view the church, I believe the other areas are the better location to stay.  

On my last trip we stayed in a really nice airbnb as I was on a girls trip with 6 women.  This place was perfect for a girl group.  It would also be perfect for 2 couples.  Or 3 couples if one couple really didn't mind having a smaller room.  The terrace of this place was incredible and the location was perfect.  It was right off the Ramblas and in easy walking distance to nearly anything we wanted to do.  

If you're looking for a hotel option, my husband and I stayed at a great hotel in a similar area.  

Hotel Gaudí

We enjoyed this hotel and really liked the small rooftop pool with the great view. We thought it was really nice, clean, and comfortable. It was within easy walking distance to a lot of things we wanted to do and see.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
My name is Danielle and I have been planning trips for the past 10 years. One thing special and unique about my guides is that I am not producing guides that I didn't currently use myself. The places in my guides are places I have been, the itineraries are itineraries that I have personally followed. Everything is real and I have vetted myself. My travel planning story started with a honeymoon to Italy and since then it has grown each and every year. I love all kinds of travel! It's hard to fine a niche because I fit into so many categories. I love nature, hiking, and being outdoors. I love beaches and sunsets and sipping wine and cocktails in pretty places. I love learning about people and cultures and history. I love street art and busy cities and I also love small towns and quieter places. I will sleep in a hostel and I enjoy a beautiful hotel. I love South and Central America and I am obsessed with Europe. I've been to Asia twice and hope to get back in the next few years. I love to eat and one thing you'll always get from me are true and great reviews of places that I've personally eaten! I have just returned from Albania and I am working on guides from that trip! My full time job is as a School Leader of Social and Emotional Learning in Philadelphia. All my travel is done on school breaks and in the summer. I have still managed to visit over 36 countries and countless cities along the way. Being a teacher my whole life is about planning and I do believe I am exceptional at it. I work VERY hard to plan incredible trips and now you can hopefully benefit from that as well!
