Stroll down Las Ramblas

Admittedly, Las Ramblas is overcrowded and touristy, but it’s the perfect introduction to Barcelona. This tree-lined pedestrian mall stretches just over a kilometre and is full of street performers in elaborate setups (look for the biceletos and golden angel) that will happily pose for a picture with you—for a tip! Las Ramblas also has plenty of cafés, restaurants, and bars, perfect for taking a break. If you’re looking for a meal where the locals eat, head east to the Gothic Quarter or west to El Raval.
