The lively, eclectic neighbourhood is located in the Ciutat Vella (Old Town), nestled between Pla\u00e7a Catalunya and the beach.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-139510\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/neighbourhood-born-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About El Born<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the surface, El Born appears to be remarkably similar to the historic Gothic Quarter with its narrow, cobbled streets and old time charm. However, situated just a tiny bit further from the main city centre, El Born tends to have less of a touristy feel, making it a great place to learn more about \u2018real\u2019 local life. Despite not being within the main hub of hustle and bustle, there is still plenty to see and do in El Born, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museupicasso.bcn.cat\/en\/\">Picasso Museum<\/a>, Ciutadella Park, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoobarcelona.cat\/en\/home\">Barcelona Zoo<\/a>. El Born is also recognised as an up-and-coming \u2018hip\u2019 district, doing for Barcelona what Brooklyn did for New York City.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to See and Do<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Passeig del Born is one of the city\u2019s top nightlife hotspots, located along the beautiful, tree-lined street. The neighbourhood is also home to some of the most breathtaking architecture in all of Spain, including the mesmerising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santamariadelmarbarcelona.org\/home\/\">Santa Maria del Mar<\/a> church. Thanks to the presence of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museupicasso.bcn.cat\/en\/\">Picasso Museum<\/a>, there\u2019s also a very definite artistic vibe running through the streets, and El Born has fast become a favourite Bohemian hangout.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-139511\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/el-born-Barcelona.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Staying in El Born<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While there may be fewer larger options (big family <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/rentals\/allrentals\/villa-costa-dorada-castellet-5-km-to-beach-513\/\">villas in Spain<\/a> are often located in more spacious areas, for example), what you will find in El Born is a wide range of cozy and charming apartments that are full of character and personality. With rooms often located above the shops and restaurants within the pedestrianised streets, you will find stunning rooftop terraces and views of the city, mountains, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>SaveSaveSaveSave<\/p>\n<p>SaveSave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many great locations to consider when choosing where to stay for your holiday in Spain, but perhaps one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195084,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[47,59,14,15,16,448,18,122,180,169,63,64,449,19,67,68,20,69,70,71,75,160,161,147,22,24,157,148,153,25,81,162,26,154,149],"class_list":["post-139509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-accommodation","tag-barcelona-holiday-rental","tag-barcelona-vacation-rental","tag-barcelona-villa","tag-barrio","tag-catalunya-casas","tag-costa-brava-holiday-rental","tag-costa-brava-vacation-rental","tag-costa-brava-villa","tag-costa-dorada-vacation-rental","tag-costa-dorada-villa","tag-el-born","tag-family-villa-barcelona","tag-family-villa-spain","tag-guest-services","tag-holiday-in-barcelona","tag-holiday-in-spain","tag-holiday-spain","tag-houses-in-spain","tag-rent-villa-barcelona","tag-rent-villa-spain","tag-spain-vacation-rental","tag-vacation-rental-in-spain","tag-vacation-villa-barcelona","tag-villa-in-barcelona","tag-villa-in-spain","tag-villa-rental-in-spain","tag-villa-spain","tag-villa-with-pool-barcelona","tag-villa-with-pool-in-spain","tag-villa-with-pool-spain","tag-villa-with-private-pool-barcelona","tag-villas-in-barcelona","tag-villas-in-spain"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Exploring Barcelona\u2019s El Born neighbourhood - Catalonia Vacation Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"El Born is extremely charming with its narrow, cobbled streets and old time vibe.
