The list

  1. Mercat de la Boqueria — Barcelona hidden gem
    Barcelona · ★ 4.5

    Mercat de la Boqueria

    La Boqueria is Barcelona's biggest, most famous produce and food market, just off La Rambla — worth an hour or two for the stalls, the jamón, the fruit smoothies and the tapas counters at the back. 4.5★ (214,533 reviews) — what visitors say, hours, and tips.

  2. La Pedrera - Casa Milà — Barcelona hidden gem
    Barcelona · ★ 4.6

    La Pedrera - Casa Milà

    La Pedrera (Casa Milà) is Gaudí's undulating stone apartment building on Passeig de Gràcia 92, open daily 9am–11pm — go right at 9am or after 7pm to walk the rippling roof terrace and attic without the crowd crush that builds between 11am and 7pm on weekends. 4.6★ (112,754 reviews) — what visitors say, hours, and tips.

  3. La Rambla — Barcelona hidden gem
    Barcelona · ★ 4.3

    La Rambla

    La Rambla is Barcelona's mile-long pedestrian boulevard linking Plaça de Catalunya to the old harbor at Port Vell — walk it once for the architecture and people-watching, but eat and shop elsewhere. 4.3★ (9,949 reviews) — what visitors say, hours, and tips.

  4. Plaça Nova — Barcelona hidden gem
    Barcelona · ★ 4.7

    Plaça Nova

    Plaça Nova is the small, palm-fringed square right where Barcelona's medieval walls meet the Gothic Quarter, wedged between the Cathedral and Carrer del Bisbe.
