Placa Reial

This square is so beautiful, it’s no wonder it was named “royal” (reial Catalan for royal). The elegant ambiance of the Plaça Reial is accentuated by the fountain, streetlamps and palm trees, and it is one of Barcelona’s busiest, most vibrant spots, particularly at night. This is Barcelona’s best-loved porticoed square, boasting a busy nightlife hub, and porticoes that conceal restaurants, bars and some of Barcelona’s most popular nightspots.
