Carrer de l'Aurora, Barcelona

This stylish apartment is perfectly situated in the vibrant Raval neighborhood, offering a central location that provides easy access to Barcelona's top tourist attractions.

If you’re here for the city
This is the city center. Barcelona is a vibrant place, with its contagious exuberance constantly spilling out onto small streets and cute Plaças packed with cafes, bars and local designer shops. You will be right on the iconic La Rambla, ready to wander down this eclectic stretch of restaurants, bars, cultural venues, street vendors, convenience stores, fashion boutiques and just about anything else you can think of. Turn into any of the small streets and get teleported back a few centuries. Explore palaces, history rich sites like Plaça Reial, admire street performers and avoid flower sellers. There’s an El Corte Inglés department store, in the heart of the city: Plaça Catalunya.
A notable stop on La Rambla is its famous Boqueria, a fresh-food market with over 300 stalls that sell produce, meats, cheeses, fish, seafood, nuts, fresh juices and many other incredibly delicious things to munch on. There’s also a local food school where local chefs and sommeliers share their wisdom.

If you’re here for the beach
Stroll past Plaça Reial, and stop for a beer or coffee (or, as the locals would say, “both”) under the shade of its old palm trees. Contemplate the gothic architecture around Barcelona’s 800 years old Cathedral, all covered in gargoyles. See Columbus’s statue, admire the yachts in the marina and stroll through the Barceloneta streets onto the nearest beaches for the Mediterranean vibe. Elegant colonial buildings surround you. Shadowy arches. High windows. Fading wooden shutters. Travel back in time as you wander the narrow streets. The buildings lean overhead, almost touching.

If you’re here for nature
Parc Guell, Parc de Ciutadella and many other locations such as Montjuic or Tibidabo are easily accessible by metro, bus or taxi. There are many places where you can enjoy the beauty of nature, wild colored flowers or fragrant bushes. Just to visit all the attractions of Montjuic could easily take you a week. Here you can find not one but two wondrous botanical gardens, one of them a picture perfect cactus reservation that’s one of the natural wonders of Barcelona, The Fundacio Miro, The Poble Espanyol, The Theatre Grec, Palau Sant Jordi or the former Olympic village are only some of the attractions on Montjuic, but neither rivals the panoramic view of the city and the sea you will get from up there.

If you’re here for shopping
Shop ‘til you drop! Or maybe not that much, but still, find local designers and cute boutique stores plus the big Corte Ingles within walking distance, or start on Portal del Angel and walk towards Passeig de Gracia / Rambla de Catalunya. If you’re looking for something more upscale, go to the Corte Ingles on Diagonal, or to Diagonal Mar, Europe’s biggest luxury shopping mall.
Pro tip: You’ll love the boutiques on Carrer d’Avinyó. At Number 7 you’ll find La Manual Alpargatera. It sells espadrille-inspired shoes. It's whispered they cut their colours from a real r(hidden)ow. Grey-purple-green? No problem.

If you’re here for museums
Rest assured, all the adjoining neighbourhoods like Gothic, Born and Raval are full of museums, monuments and interesting cultural venues like Museo de la Marina, MACBA (for Contemporary Art) or the Catalan Cultural Center, plus some fun and interesting stuff for kids of all ages (Big Fun Museum and Museum of Illusions or the Wax Museum). The Gran Teatre del Liceu (Opera) is also a few steps away, in fact, they’re your neighbours on La Rambla. Bonus, everything is within walking distance. Head toward the Marina for the Aquarium, and maybe stop at the Erotic Museum on your way 😇 - it’s close.

Thanks to its close to the city center location, this flat is easily reachable from the airport by train (20 minutes), shuttle bus (A1 or A2 in Plaça Catalunya, taxi (if you want to enjoy the views) or metro (Liceu or Plaça Catalunya lines L1, L3, L6, L7).
