Gran Hotel Central Barcelona Via Layetana, 30 Online Booking

Completely renovated, our elegant and stylish establishment provides the perfect place to stay. Panoramic views from the roof top and the best way to start the day with an early morning dip make this a little bit special.

Breakfast in our modern and delightful dining room before heading out to explore our amazing city. A short stroll and you are in Las Ramblas - the famous tree lined avenue that runs from Plaza de Catalunya down to the Monument of Columbus at the Port. Home to Liceo Opera House and the Gothic Quarter there is plenty to see here. The cathedral with its gorgeous gardens and palm trees, the Kings Square with its ancient architecture and the Museum of Picasso displaying his finest works. Down at the far end you will find the Maritime Museum and then out on to the board walk exhibition centres including Emax - the first Virtual Reality Cinema in Europe - something the whole family can enjoy. Barceloneta filled with cool cafes, glorious gifts shops and wonderful views across the port and sea and then across to golden sandy beaches where you can spend the day relaxing in the sunshine and splashing in the sea.

A helpful Tourist Information Office can be found close to the Opera House on Las Ramblas.
