celebrity Posted May 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Would it be OK to walk down Las Ramblas during the day or is the atmosphere better in the evening? Absolutely! Do both. Make sure you walk all the way down by the Columbus Statue,and along the waterfront. Great photo opps there. Also make it a point to visit La Boqueria Market. It is incredible. The flower stands, the mimes, the architecture. It is a spectacular city. I do hope you are also going inside La Sagrada Familia. No visit to Barca is complete without a stop there. Make sure you reserve tix in advance and skip the line. Enjoy every minute! Oops! Also stop at Parc Guell.,another must see.

Langley Cruisers Posted May 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Do be careful, though. The area is notorious for pickpockets. Keep your wallet/valuables/purse out of sight and hold on tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted May 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2014 During the day is great. We found a morning walk was also nice. We beat the crowds and were able to go to the market for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisePAC Posted May 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Be aware that the south end of Las Ramblas turns into a red light district at nighttime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted May 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Would it be OK to walk down Las Ramblas during the day or is the atmosphere better in the evening? Are you limited to just one or the other? After a day visit, you will want to see the whole area during the evening too. It's just different. The "Gothic Area" off Las Ramblas, is an area you don't want to miss. Go there in daylight to really enjoy the architecture ...and it's easier to find your way. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4774Papa Posted May 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Do the street during the day and then a night. It is totally difference at night. Just take care not to be a pickpocket victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaHofmann Posted May 23, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 23, 2014 If you are in Barcelona on a Sunday, be aware that literally everything is shut up tight til about noon. Walking it is very interesting and pleasant. The main market is just off Las Ramblas as well. That's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajp Posted July 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Like others , do the day and night walking on LaRambla. Be careful of the pickpockers! Best part was when we walk the street early morning around 7am there few people walking and we took lot of awesome pictures of the buildings and etc. Overall I felt very safe during evening walks (very crowded). I had safepac neck pouch!!! Recommend the market and enjoy breakfast at Pintotxo Bar!!! The Old Gothic neighborhood was very nice around Picasso Museum. Oh... avoid the restaurants on LaRambla at all cost!!! There some good restaurants in Placa Reial courtyard (right after Carrer de La Unio street) Enjoy this beautiful city!!!
