One of the biggest Shopping hub, plaza in Barcelona. Have good transportation connecting all the places in the city.

Barcelona's most central area and a favourite meeting place for locals and visitors as described by my friends..My first ever experience of feeding pigeons so close.The plaza square is very popular and you can just sit to those benches around the plaza and watch those birds flocks and people interacting to each other.(taking photos or feeding them )
In the square, you'll find pavement stones arranged in the shape of a star, which is believed to mark the center of the Catalonian capital.Some old structrures and buildings which has a historical meanings. I've noticed the long que for the hop in hop off tour bus if you want sightseeing tour in Barcelona ,less walking ,just sit and enjoy the ride and view especially when you dont have enough time to roam around the city.

What a spectacular place to sit down and feed the pigeons. Felt like I was in a movie from the 1900’s with all the buildings and people around me. A must see if you’re in Barcelona, had a wonderful time!

Just great to get away from the touristy part of spain to just see the Catalonia lifestyle. Was looking for the hop off and on tour bus but there are no clear marking as to where to hop on this bus. We did see it i tried to wave it down to no avail this was the only downside to the day. The plaza it's is a lovely strip and lots of shopping to be had. You can get to the culture site if you're up for hilly walks in 30° heat, so bring water.

A gigantic and quite jaw-dropping plaça in the middle of the city, full of statues, benches to sit on and admire all the people and the huge buildings around it. Kids were playing everywhere, having fun and in general a happy and relaxing place.

It is located in the heart of the city and could me a good meeting point closed to most of the shopping center, restaurant, and tourist attractions. There will be pigeons around the square, too.

This is an iconic and beautiful landmark that you must visit Located in the heart of the city, it is the perfect place to find local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, fancy shops, art and historic buildings. You can buy tickets for a city bus tour from here that will take you around other interesting areas in the city.

This is very iconic and beautiful landmark that you must visit if you are staying in Barcelona. Located in the heart of the city, it is the perfect place to find local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, fancy shops, art and historic buildings. Walking along these streets you can learn about the Spanish culture, language and architecture. Very enjoyable. You can also buy tickets for a city bus tour from here that will take you around other interesting areas in the city. My only recommendation is to be careful with your purse, bags or backpack. Usually, this is a very crowded area, and you could be victim of a pick pocket. Better be safe than sorry. Otherwise, it is a wonderful place.
