Ramblas
Barcelona's Busiest Street
Back to Ramblas
Pros: the market was a great place to stop for a cheap and authentic breakfast or snack.

The Ramblas is the heart of downtown but is becoming very touristy. Beware con artists and anyone who tries to show you a brochure or ask you directions. I had my purse stolen by two older men this way. The police just shrug and say that's too bad.

If you're a tourist it is nice to walk down the street and see all the different sections of the rambla. The flower one, the bird one, and the one with the fountain on it. But be warned because it is a tourist street there may be pickpockets. Our guide said to keep your belongings close to you and to watch out for people asking you to sign sheets of paper or people offering you roses. Also if your a vegerian or just don't like seeing meat before it gets to your plate I DON'T I repeat DON'T recommend walking into the market. The first thing you see to your left is little piglets .. and I don't mean the cute live ones. My friend walked through the whole market with her head on the ground and found 10 Euros though. But still keep in mind that they sell dead things that look alot like they did alive.

Great lively street with plenty of atmosphere but I felt that you had to be on your guard all the time due to tricksters and pickpockets. I would avoid at night.

Colorful street life, but be aware of pickpockets! This city street is full of activities and people well into the late hours. Many street mimes to entertain you and postcard vendors.

Lots to see and do here. Watch out for pickpockets and street con artists! Take a camera, find a cafe with patio seating, and people watch. Lots of shops. Must see when you visit the city.

I loved raming the Rambles, could spend all my time there. The atmosphere is wonderful and the people very friendly. Traveled there in early October and the weather was excellent, just a light jacket was all that was needed and most of the time I just carried it.

This is where EVERYTHING happens. Just a fun place to people watch. Local talents showcase their crafts right on the streets - street mimes, dancers, entertainers, artists, EVERYONE is out here.

When I was in Barcelona in 1992(before the olympics) Las Rambles was magical. Now it is becoming a tourist trap. It is very sad to see. It is still a great place to people watch, but most of them seem to be tourist - not locals as it was in 92.

This place is very ecletic. You will see a little of everything here. Street performers, great places to eat and shop.
