Top 5 Shopping Malls in Barcelona

We love La Maquinista just as much as TripAdvisor who awarded it the ‘Travellers Choice’ award for 2021. With its open-air design, it’s one of the largest malls in Catalunya and is commonly referred to as a ‘little shopping town’. La Maquinista offers its shoppers two levels of retail therapy, a wide variety of restaurants, a Spanish cinema, and other outdoor leisure activities. Located in the San Andrés district it’s easily accessible by car or the Red L1 metro line, open Monday till Saturday from 9.30 am till 9 pm.

Number three on our list is the famous Las Arenas de Barcelona. Now, this is defiantly not your typical mall as it’s also one of Barcelona’s many historical monuments. The building itself dates back to 1900 and was originally a bullfighting arena but in 2011 it was redesigned into a commercial shopping center which we are very thankful for. This unique mall boasts three levels of shops, a gym, and even a Rock Museum but what sets this mall apart from the rest is its circular terrace with a 360-degree panoramic view. Located in the Eixample district, only a few minutes away from Sant Jordi Hostels Rock Palace, this beautiful shopping center is open Monday to Saturday from 10 am till 9 pm this is one mall not to leave off your shopping list.

Last but not certainly not least on our list is the beautiful Maremagnum which is uniquely located on the very end of a wooden pier on the Port Vell of Barcelona. The best thing about this mall is how easy it is to get there, just follow the crowd down Las Ramblas from Plaza Cataluña and over the pier, and you’re there. After shopping your way through the first and second-floor head to the third where you will find many restaurants and cafes with large terraces and incredible views of the port of Barcelona. The best thing about this Mall is it’s open every single day of the year from 10 am till 10 pm.
