The Parc de la Ciutadella
Located in the heart of the city, it is the perfect place to unfold a tablecloth and have a picnic.
With an area of more than 17 hectares, you can enjoy its scenery either on foot, by bicycle, or by boat on its large pond. The Parc de la Ciutadella has more than 100 plant and tree species, some of them centuries old, in addition to a great diversity of things worth seeing: the monumental waterfall, the giant mammoth statue, 19th-century buildings now converted into museums, sculptures … In addition, the park shares a space with the Barcelona Zoo.
Just a 15-minute walk from this beautiful park, is our Hotel SB Icaria 4*. Located near the best beaches of Barcelona, it becomes the ideal place to stay to enjoy the city and the sea up close. See all our available offers!
Enjoying an aperitif in Paseo de Gracia
You cannot leave Barcelona without having had an aperitif or “vermouth” as it is known among the locals of Barcelona, but first we recommend you to wander and lose yourself in the Paseo de Gracia and Eixample neighbourhoods. Paseo de Gracias is one of the most representative streets of the city. A showcase of Catalan modernist architecture where you can discover buildings as emblematic as Casa Batlló and La Pedrera by Antoni Gaudí, Casa Amatller by the famous architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch or the Casa Lleó i Morera by modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
But Paseo de Gracia is not only a boulevard of culture and architecture, it is also the main avenue for your purchases.
After enjoying a morning of shopping and strolling between impressive modernist buildings, it is time to stop for a snack. We recommend that you go and discover El Nacional Barcelona. Located in the heart of Paseo de Gracia, El Nacional Barcelona is the first restaurant in Barcelona with different spaces where you can enjoy the best Iberian cuisine and sit in one of its Central Bars to have an aperitif, before sitting down in one of its spaces to taste its exquisite recipes of the local gastronomy.
There is easy access from our Hotel SB Diagonal Zero 4* sup. through a short subway ride. Do not miss the available offers!
