Las Ramblas, Barcelona

Las Ramblas, a road cutting through the heart of Barcelona, is dominated by people traversing on foot, with two narrow lanes for cars and wide sidewalks for pedestrians. This is the perfect first stop for travelers who enjoy walking and wish to get an overall sense of the city. During the day you will be absorbed by the bustling atmosphere - shops and restaurants line the crowded walkways - while at night the southern half of the street tends to transform into a slightly more seedy area. Meet new people, get some casual exercise, or just take in the views on a sunny afternoon.
