About the city Barcelona

ABOUT BARCELONA
- Born

The old bohemian area el Born has meanwhile developed into of the most hip neighbourhoods of Barcelona. A stay in an apartment in el Born makes your holiday in Barcelona a pittoresque experience. From your apartment it is deliciously to walk through the many narrow lanes of Borne, with a lot of sociable cafes and terraces, designer shops, restaurants, tapas bars, art galleries and museums (among other things the Picasso museum & textile museum in the Calle Montcada). The church Santa Maria del Mar is the centre of this historical district Borne (from the 12th centuries) and is almost viewable from every apartment with the typical El Born street Passeig del Born.

Beside the district el Borne the city-parc Parque Ciutadella (with the zoo) of Barcelona is a perfect place for being outside when your apartment has no balcony or terrace. The park Parque Ciutadella looks after more than sufficient greenness in the centre of Barcelona.

Remaining curiosities in Borne are among other things the Mercado del Born (the market of Borne), where the largest archaeological unearthing of Europe has been done. The Mercado del Born can be  visited during a guided tour.

The district el Born has been lain between the street Laitena and the district Barceloneta (at the beach). By 2 underground railway stations Barceloneta and Jaume 1 you walk easily and fast into the Born area. However, the district ell Borne is very central located, within 10 minutes you walk the famous Ramblas on, in 5 minutes the historical Gothic district with the fantastic cathedral and in 10 minutes are you at the beach.
