Location
In Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, steps from Las Ramblas and La Boqueria Market
The Petit Palace Boqueria is located in the center of Barcelona next to the little streets of the Gothic Quarter and close to La Boqueria public market, which dates back to the year 1217. Though the area can sometimes attract seedy characters, it is within walking distance to Plaza Catalunya, an important landmark containing fountains and statues. Las Ramblas begins here, as does Passeig de Gracia for high-end shopping. In addition, the Aerobus stop is just a few blocks away and offers direct access from Barcelona International Airport -- a much cheaper alternative than taking a taxi. Overall, the area is rich with historic monuments, restaurants, and nightlife. For public transportation, the Liceu Metro Station is closest to the hotel.
Barcelona -- a cosmopolitan hub for arts, culture, and nightlife -- is the second largest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia. Located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, the city has a Mediterranean climate with mild, humid winters and warm, dry summers.
