Districts

Barcelona has 27 neighborhoods, each very different. The city centre of Barcelona is Plaça de Catalunya.. In fact, from here you can easily reach all other areas of the city in no time either on foot or using public transportation.

On one side of the square you will find Las Ramblas. This is the most famous Barcelona street and features a lot of kiosks, shops, bars, and restaurants. It separates two neighbourhoods: The Gothic Quarter and Raval. These are touristic and historic districts with small pedestrian streets. Continuing down the Ramblas you will eventually see the Columbus statue, which you can visit on Port Vell.

On the other side of Plaça de Catalunya is Eixample, which features renowned high street Passeig de Gracia , recognised for its luxury shops. However, away from this area is generally quiet and residential. Walking along Eixample's perfectly lined streets, you can see modernist architecture and visit the celebrated works of Gaudí. We at OK Apartment are located in this district, more precisely in the area of Sant Antoni, near the well-known Sant Antoni marketplace.
