The Neighborhood: This spacious apartment is located close to the main tourist attractions. Without going any further, Plaza de Catalunya, the nerve center of the city, is a few minutes walk from your home. From here it is easy to move, both by public transport and on foot, through the Catalan capital. We recommend that you walk through the narrow and old streets of the Gothic Quarter (don't forget to visit the Cathedral!) And that you take advantage of your stay to attend the Liceu, the oldest and most prestigious active theater in Barcelona where, above all, you can see operas. From Plaza Catalunya go up any of the two great streets that are born in it: by the famous Ramblas always full of tourists and locals alike or by Paseo de Gracia, a street full of fashion stores, Modernist restaurants and buildings, among which the Casa Batllò by Antoni Gaudí stands out. If you like museums, you cannot miss MACBA, Barcelona's contemporary art museum and one of the most visited in the city. Or if you prefer, go to the Mercado de San José (popularly known as the Boquería) and buy fresh products that you can later taste at home with your loved ones. Getting Around: The closest metro station is Urgell (Line 1). The quickest way to go to the airport would be taking the bus "Aerobus" at Plaça Catalunya, in front of "El Corte Inlges". The cost is around 4.5€ Other Things to Note: *** TOURIST TAX & REGISTRATION PROCESS *** - Since 2012 the Catalan administration requires that every guest staying in a hotel room or renting an apartment in Catalunya contributes with a small fee of 2.25€ + VAT per person over 17 years old and per night up to a maximum of 7 nights.
