Paseo de Gràcia is considered one of the major streets for shopping in Barcelona. All national and international fashion houses have their boutique here. Among prestigious designers, you will find Loewe, Chanel, Yves-Saint-Laurent, Hermès, Laurel and Adolfo Dominguez. Paseo de Gràcio is also a place for luxury hotels, upscale dining spots and cafeterias. Even if you don't shop, you will appreciate this wide boulevard bordered by huge trees on each side. Enjoy a break from your walk on a terrace at one of the numerous cafés nearby. While passing by number 43, take a careful look at Casa Batlló, one of the houses designed by famous local architect Gaudi.
