Gothic Quarter
About
Barcelona's oldest neighbourhood is a labyrinth of narrow medieval streets built over Roman foundations. The Cathedral of Barcelona, the Plaça Reial, the ancient Roman walls and dozens of hidden squares are all within a ten-minute walk. The best way to experience it is to walk without a map and simply turn at every corner.

Essential Barcelona. The Roman ruins beneath the city and the medieval street plan are extraordinary. The Cathedral cloister with its resident geese is a highlight. Explore at dusk when the crowds thin and the old stone turns gold in the evening light.

Two hours of wandering without a map through medieval alleys. Found a tiny bar where locals were watching football and had the best time.
The Roman ruins under the History Museum are extraordinary. The Cathedral and its geese are a lovely surprise.
At dusk the Gothic Quarter becomes magical. The old stones, the narrow streets, the hidden squares — pure Barcelona.
