Visit Barcelona and the first place you’ll head will likely be Las Ramblas. Along the vibrant pedestrian avenue, live performances, artists, cafés, and unique shops delight visitors. A signature Barcelona landmark, the large boulevard runs through the heart of the city and is home to some of the top luxury hotels and the best shopping in Barcelona.  

Famous painter Joan Miró created part of the streetscape – look down and you might just find yourself walking over the colorful tile mosaic near the Liceu Theatre and the Liceu metro. Shop La Boqueria Food Market, stop at a café for tapas and a jug of sangria and watch the world go by before heading to one of the top luxury Barcelona hotels in Las Ramblas.
