Passeig de Gràcia, Main commercial avenue in Eixample, Barcelona, Spain
The 42-meter-wide avenue stretches from Plaça Catalunya to Carrer Gran de Gràcia, featuring modernist buildings and luxury retail establishments along its length.
Starting as a rural path called Camí de Jesús in 1821, the street underwent major transformation in 1827 to accommodate aristocrats displaying their horse-riding skills.
The street contains architectural masterpieces like Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, demonstrating the influence of Catalan modernism through detailed facades and innovative designs.
Metro lines 2, 3, and 4 connect visitors to the avenue at Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal stations, providing direct access to shopping and architectural attractions.
Pere Falqués i Urpí designed distinctive benches and lampposts in 1906, which continue to line the street and serve as identifiable markers of this boulevard.

Barcelona offers a wide range of architectural and cultural sites that reflect centuries of Catalan history. The city combines Gothic churches and medieval streets with the organic forms of Antoni Gaudí's modernist buildings. From the Sagrada Família to Parc Güell, his designs shape the cityscape, while the Gothic Quarter and palaces such as Palau Güell represent earlier periods. Museums including the Picasso Museum and Joan Miró Foundation illustrate the city's artistic legacy. Markets like La Boqueria and Sant Antoni provide insight into Catalan daily life. The waterfront district of La Barceloneta, the Olympic Port, and Montjuïc with its cable car and fountain broaden the range. Other destinations include Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, the Hospital de Sant Pau, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, and the Aquarium.
