What are some famous streets in Barcelona?

There are several famous avenues crisscrossing the capital of Catalonia. There’s Passeig de Gracia, Avenida Diagonal, and Passeig de Colom. But perhaps the most well-known of them all is the three-quarter-mile long, tree-lined avenue known as La Rambla. Wandering down this energized street is like taking a stroll through a Spanish time warp. You’ll pass by gorgeous sights like the Gran Teatre del Liceu and the Teatre Principal. When your acute senses detect the scents of candied fruits and grilled meats, you’ll know you’re near La Boqueria. The market is an artery of life in the city. And when your time on La Rambla has come to a close, the walk back to the hotels in downtown Barcelona will be short and sweet.

Where should I go in Barcelona with kids?

You’ve heard of the lively nightlife that sweeps over the town when the sun sets for the day. But don’t let that scare the family away; there are tons of kid-friendly activities to take part in. Show the little ones the hallowed pitch where the talented feet of Lionel Messi and the rest of Barcelona FC electrify football fans. The Camp Nou Experience will allow you and yours to take a private stadium and museum tour, learn the history of the club, and enjoy a meal on the pitch. The scent of finely cut turf adds something special to the experience.

Open the little ones’ minds to science at the CosmoCaixa Museum, said to be the best science museum in all of Europe. And with exhibits like the Flooded Forest, where a mini Brazilian rainforest has been recreated, it’s easy to see why. This place will allow the kids to frolic through the amazing world of science.
