Best Barcelona City Maps

The streets in Barcelona can be tricky. Street numbers are different for house numbers and business number, for example all the apartments could be number 10, 12, 14.... and the business 436, 438, 440... and can often confuse online maps like mapquest and google maps. But this online map is from the crazy BCN government and it is the most reliable.

This website also has some great links. In the right column next to the map there are quick search options to help you find Culture and Leisure locations, Hotels, Markets, Churches and more. Click on these links and get a feel for the great variety Barcelona has to offer.

The map be low is a great close up of the "heart" or city center of Barcelona. It features very nicely the Barri Gotic and el Borne. These are two of the oldest neighborhoods in Barcelona and they are some of the trickiest, and most fun, to navigate.

A1 & A2: el Raval

B1 & B2: Barri Gotic

C1: La Ribera

C2: El Born

C3: Barceloneta: The beach community of Barceloneta is also on the map. This is a fun area to hang out by the beach, have a sangria and if its warm enough, hit the waves or wind surf.
The Port on the Map is Port Velle

The map below has a great overview of all the major tourist and historical sites around town.  This is a map from one of the bus tours you can take, however, Barcelona is a great walking city, so let me encourage you to walk around as much of the city as possible.
