Introduction

La Rambla is Barcelona's most famous, lively and vibrant pedestrian avenue—a tree-lined boulevard teeming with people all day and full of fresh urban life; it is the city's artery and soul, and the perfect place to feel Barcelona's bustling energy. La Rambla is a wide, tree-shaded pedestrian boulevard running from the old town's center (Plaça de Catalunya) south to the waterfront (the Columbus Monument and the Old Port), cutting through Barcelona's old-town core. Its center is a broad walkway for strollers (the traffic lanes on either side are narrower); shaded by trees, it is filled all day with the bustle of vivid city life. Strolling La Rambla, visitors see: an endless stream of tourists and locals from around the world, the shops, newsstands and flower stalls (the avenue is famous for its colorful flower stalls) lining the sides, the open-air seats of restaurants and cafés, and all kinds of street performers (living statues, musicians, painters and the like) entertaining the crowds—lively and full of energy. Along the avenue are many sights: the famous Mercat de la Boqueria (a bustling, abundant traditional food market—a paradise for food lovers), the Liceu opera house, and entrances to the old town such as the Gothic Quarter. Strolling Barcelona's lively La Rambla, feeling the fresh city life and browsing the colorful market (remember to watch your belongings and beware of pickpockets) is a classic way to feel Barcelona's pulse.
