Perched along the beautiful blue Mediterranean, the Poble Nou/Beach neighborhood is best known for its beaches, the Parc Ciutadella, and the Barcelona Zoo. After the 1992 Olympics, the area underwent a major rehaul, and the warehouses and docks were transformed into some of the city’s most modern architectural projects. Along the beach, you’ll find windsurfing rentals and sailing charters. By night, a large strip of seafront transforms into lively restaurants and popular clubs like the Shoko and Baja Beach. The park is relatively quiet, contains the zoo, and is a great place for picnics. With metro stops nearby, it’s easy to reach the city center. For nature lovers who want to enjoy green space and vast beaches, this is an ideal choice.
