Gothic Quarter Wander
About
The Barri Gòtic is a maze of narrow streets around the cathedral, with Roman remnants, quiet plazas and tiny independent shops. Follow the lanes and duck into courtyards; the details reward slow walking.
Why visit
- Atmospheric squares like Plaça Sant Felip Neri
- Roman and medieval layers side by side
- Excellent coffee, tapas and browsing stops
Good to know
- Wear comfy shoes: the cobbles are uneven
- Keep valuables secure in the busiest lanes
- Cathedral entry is separate and has its own hours
