Start here your own walking tour of the Gothic Quarter!

I happened to be in Barcelona and wanted to explore quickly and efficiently one of the most touristy spots in town: the Gothic Quarter.

After some research and exploration, I personally curated this route that will guide you through the Barri Gòtic in less than an hour, touching all the hotspots you shouldn’t miss.

Before visiting, you need to know that the Gothic Quarter is a stone labyrinth, and you could easily spend an entire afternoon wandering its narrow streets and getting lost in the Roman atmosphere of the place. This layout is not only suggestive and mysterious, but it’s also the reason why most tourists get pickpocketed in this area due to the abundance of dead ends and tiny transversal alleys. The Gothic Quarter can get very crowded, so be extremely aware of your surroundings at all times and keep your belongings close to avoid becoming a target.
