General Information
Booking a room in El Born quarter is very convenient, especially for young tourists, who can enjoy the proximity to different music events and festivals that are organized in this part of the city. It is also suitable for families, because it is not far from the Parc de la Ciutadella (Citadel Park) (for additional information – Kids and Families in El Born and Kids and Families in Barcelona).
El Born is not a recommended place of accommodation for those who would like to spend their vacation in a silent and peaceful environment.
There are many small hotels located in historical buildings from the 18th century, that offer reasonable prices and are less expensive than hotels located in the Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic).
During the summer, these hotels are more expensive than on the rest of the year, and the number of hotel rooms is limited. It is recommended to reserve a hotel in advance. Furthermore, for those who would like to visit Barcelona by car, it is advised to check if the chosen hotel is accessible by car or not.
