The vacation apartments on Paseo de Gracia are perfect for those seeking a luxurious and comfortable experience in the heart of Barcelona. The area boasts a wide range of fine dining restaurants, art galleries, and a sophisticated nightlife. Additionally, the modernist architecture adorning the avenue will surround you with a unique cultural and artistic atmosphere that combines the city's history with modernity.
Between 1900 and 1914, Paseo de Gracia became the main bourgeois residential center with the creative contributions of modernist architects like Gaudí, Puig i Cadafalch, Domènech i Montaner, and Sagnier.
They built houses with truly singular shapes, such as Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Casa Lleó Morera, and Casa Amatller. La Pedrera has since been transformed into a museum showcasing Gaudí's works. In 1906, architect Pere Falqués designed the famous bancs-fanals with trencadís mosaics distributed along the avenue.
In medieval times, the gateway to this entrance of the city was the Portal dels Orbs (Portal of the Blind), now called Portal del Ángel, a pedestrian shopping area.
Both on Paseo de Gracia and on Rambla de Catalunya, which runs parallel, you will find numerous restaurants offering food of all kinds and for all budgets, where you can stop for lunch or dinner. At the end of both streets is Plaza de Catalunya, where you can start your next shopping route through old Barcelona.
This is one of the city's best-connected areas, making it ideal for visiting other parts of Barcelona. It features three metro lines: L3, L2, L5, with the following stops: Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal. For buses, the following lines are available: 7, 16, 17, 22, 24, 28.
