Barcelona is best enjoyed on foot.

Whether you are staying at Andante Hotel Drassanes or Andante Hotel Princesa, you are just a few minutes away from the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Each route invites you to discover a different neighbourhood, until you reach the historic heart of the city: the Barcelona Cathedral.

Route from Andante Drassanes

Start your walk by heading down to the Columbus Monument, the landmark that marks the beginning of Las Ramblas.

Let yourself be carried along by its lively atmosphere and flower stalls until you reach La Boqueria Market or the Gran Teatre del Liceu.
If you turn towards the sea, you will arrive at Port Vell and, further on, at Barceloneta, the seaside neighbourhood where the city opens up to the Mediterranean.

Then, head into the Gothic Quarter to discover its medieval charm: Sant Jaume Square, the Museum of the History of Barcelona (MUHBA), and the majestic Barcelona Cathedral.

Route from Andante Princesa

Start in the heart of El Born, one of the city’s most authentic and bohemian neighbourhoods.

Just a few steps away, you will find the impressive Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, surrounded by streets full of artisan workshops, boutiques, and charming cafés.

Continue along Passeig del Born until you reach Ciutadella Park, where you can visit the Catalan Parliament or enjoy a walk among trees and sculptures.

From there, cross into the Gothic Quarter, where the Barcelona Cathedral awaits you.

From the Cathedral, choose your own pace:

Head up Via Laietana towards the Arc de Triomf and Ciutadella Park, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

Or make your way to Plaça Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia, where masterpieces of Modernism await you, such as Casa Batlló, Casa Amatller, and La Pedrera.
