Catalunya square is one of the most popular spots in Barcelona

Transport

Catalunya square is usually the first place visitors are acquainted with arriving in Barcelona. You can get to almost anywhere from here. This is where you will find the Aero bus service, which is a great, quick and cheap option for those shuttling to and from the airport. Underneath the square runs Metro lines L1, L3, L6 and L7, as well as R and S lines. There are also lots of bus services running from above. If you need any help there is a tourist information centre located on the fountain side of the square.

Shopping

If shopping is what you’re after, look no further. You’ll find a myriad of stores right at your fingertips. One side of the plaza houses El Cortes Inglés – Spain’s largest department store chain. Neighbouring El Cortes is the Apple store and to the other side a pedestrian street filled stores including Zara, Berska, H&M, Pull&Bear and many more. On the Southwest corner lies the famous Las Ramblas strip, which has even more shops, cafes and bars, spilling out onto the pedestrian street.

Sit and Relax

As with all Barcelona landmarks, this space has been cleverly designed. The colourful flowers, grass patches and trees make it the perfect oasis to take a quick break from exploring or your shopping session. Take some time to admire the sculptures, sit by the fountains or feed the sea of pigeons flocking in the centre.
