Passeig de Gràcia

Overview

Passeig de Gràcia is Barcelona's grandest boulevard — a 1.5-kilometre avenue connecting Plaça de Catalunya to Gràcia, lined with Modernista masterpieces, luxury brand flagships, and elegant café terraces.

Highlights

• Modernista Architecture: Casa Batlló, Casa Milà (La Pedrera), Casa Amatller, and Casa Lleó Morera all stand on this single boulevard.
• Panot Tiles: The distinctive hexagonal pavement tiles were designed by Gaudí — featuring motifs of sea creatures.
• Shopping: Flagship stores of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Loewe, and Massimo Dutti alongside Spanish fashion brands.

Visitor Tips

• Architecture Walk: Walk from Plaça de Catalunya northward, alternating between left and right sides to catch all the facades.
• Look Down: Gaudí's hexagonal pavement tiles are one of the street's hidden treasures.
• Duration: 45–60 minutes for a walk.
