Very beautiful structure! It was one of the first things we saw when we got out of the train station, and it's a marvel to see - very big and grand! There's not much to do other than just marvel at the beauty of it, and it's located in the nice park area. Great to take some pictures of and pass by! And it's free to see.
Amazing spot to visit. During day or night. Obviously is free and just to mention if you are planning to go at night make sure to go before midnight, since they turn off the lights at midnight and the arc is dark.
It is a very nice square and architecture. If you visit when the sun shines and the colors are vivid, you can take great pictures. We also recommend spending time at the bar across the street with a beer or sangria. There is not much shade, so be careful of the heat on a very sunny day.
Beautiful location to walk around. Easily accessible by metro and bus. We saw some outdoor musical performances and reminded me of Washington Square Park in NYC.
2min visit.
Pretty. Nice little park to walk around.
In the Comic Book Quarter if you like DC/Marvel...check out Norma Comics just up the road.

Beautiful monument in Barcelona which is possible to see when you're going by street.
The story of this is different compared to other triumphal arches that you can admire around the world: no celebration of battles won but a quite recent Universal Exposition in Barcelona.

Located at the beginning of a wide pedestrian promenade this Triumphal arch celebrates no triumph whatsoever. It was built simply to look good for the world fair of 1888. Its pretty enough to look at but ultimately there is just not that much to do there. You will see some street performers however along with the ubiquitous flamenco dancer or two, and some homeless people to go with the masses of tourists. It is my belief that not a single native Barcelonan comes around here making this one of the least genuine Barcelona experiences.
Great photo spot! Felt so magical especially with the kind man blowing huge bubbles in the middle. Literally a dream spot and was a great central space for us to meet up at! Definitely recommend a sun hat as it is a nice long walk to the other end!
This should be a “must see” while you are in Barcelona. Leads into a beautiful park keep going toward the Barcelona Zoo! Highly recommend this area, there is so much to see and do here. We had such a fun day exploring this part of Barcelona.
Nice place to walk. The arc gives the place a nice little touch with history. The promenad behind is worth the walk, alone, with friends or family. Just watching the passersby, exercising or just chilling, whatever you choose.
