Barcelona has as much culture and entertainment to offer as any of the big world capitals. This is not a bustling metropolis of enormous dimensions, but a comfortable and cosmopolitan city built to a human scale. Most of the areas visitors are interested in are concentrated in a relatively small area so it is pleasant to stroll: along the Mediterranean waterfront, along the tree-lined avenues and through the parks, along the cobbled pedestrian streets, along the big shopping avenues.
Strolling also lets us admire the beautiful buildings that flank the streets, where Art Deco (Modernist) buildings stand out, though lets not forget the Gothic and modern that make this such a fascinating city.
In addition to interesting museums, extensive beaches, attractive buildings, many cultural venues and excellent restaurants, this city also features wonderful hotels. We have chosen the best small luxury hotels. Many in the old section, the winding little streets of what is known as the Gothic Quarter, around the Ramblas. This famous avenue could be considered the heart of the city. It stretches from the Port to Plaza Catalunya and is full of people at any time of day or night. There are also many small luxury hotels in the Eixample neighborhood, with its wide sidewalks dotted with street cafes. Here is where many of the Art Deco buildings and various buildings designed by Antoni Gaudí are concentrated.
