Barcelona's heritage

All the city has a high cultural interest for voyagers.

If you come by car, you'll notice the mentioned cultural importance when you reach La Diagonal Street, and you face a magnificent straight arterial road where you'll find interest places; Pedralbes, L'Illa... up to the surroundings of the Paseo de Gracia, centre of modernism in the city.

If you arrive by plane, you'll enter the city through the Gran Vía de las Cortes Catalanas, where you'll also appreciate valuable elements of the city.

And if you arrive from the sea... you'll see a city that is open to the sea, presenting itself open and beautiful.

There are many Barcelonas: the old one, the one of the Ciudadela, the one of the Ensanche, the one of Montjuïc, but maybe the axe of the city is Las Ramblas, arterial road that concentrates the dynamic city and its modernism, and guides it through a shadowy, multicoloured, multilingual and multirracial walkway to the infinite horizon of the sea.

In this universal Barcelona, Guiarte reccommends its best sites.
