Barcelona - The 8 main attractions of The Ramblas

   
The Ramblas of Barcelona is a very tourist point and we can say that it's considered one of the main attractions of the city. The aim of this article is to set a complete route of the Ramblas, with Catalonia Square as the starting point, where you'll be able to point out the main attractions of this part of the city of Barcelona.

Catalonia Square
Pla?a Catalunya is widely considered to be the nerve centre of the city, since it has become like a meeting point for almost everybody. In Catalonia Square, do not miss the enormous quantity of pigeons, they will surprise you!

The Canaletas Fountain
The official meeting point of all Barcelona Football team supporters (Futbol Club Barcelona). Built during the 19th Century, it is probably the most famous fountain of Barcelona due to its relation to the celebration of its victories. As tradition states, if you drink water from it, you'll come back to Barcelona sooner or later!

Human Statues
Maybe one of the most meaningful and eye-catching things you can enjoy in Barcelona. Human Statues have become a symbol of the Ramblas, since there are a lot of people that try their luck by showing others their ability to stay still, just like a statue. And if you give them a coin, they will probably move!

The Boqueria Market
It's the most important and most beautiful market in Barcelona. It stands out thanks to its modern architecture, based on jonic columns, metal pillars and its stained glass-windows. In The Boqueria, with its more than 300 stands, you'll find the most amazing things you've ever seen!

The Liceu
Built in 1845, this theatre is considered one of the most prestigious theatres in the world, especially due to its operas, which are known worldwide.

Plaza Real (Real Square)
Situated on the left hand side of The Ramblas, it has become another important meeting point of the city. The square is full of restaurants and bars, where you can sit and have a drink. The two streetlamps in the middle were designed by Antoni Gaud'.

The Erotic Museum
This museum, dedicated to eroticism, won't stop surprising you. Here you'll find curious information about the theme, illustrated with pictures, objects and drawings.

Wax Museum
The Barcelona Wax Museum is a very entertaining museum which is located almost at the end of The Ramblas. In the museum you'll find more than 300 figures of historical and famous people made out of wax.

At this point, you'll have reached the end of The Ramblas and you will probably have seen the most magical, surprisingly and original part of the city of Barcelona.
