Barcelona's Picasso Museum is centered in the Born, one of Barcelona's trendiest and most posh neighborhoods in the Old City. After taking a tour of the Museum step into the streets and explore the incredibly lively area, both during the day and at night.
If you're looking for great patios, bars, tapas restaurants and awesome nightlife, then check out our number three pick. Paseo del Born is the barrio's main strip lined with bars, shops and delicious restaurants. There's always something going on especially during the weekends.
Looking for wine? Then try our number six pick just across the road on Via Laietana. Vina Viniteca has Barcelona's largest range of local as well as international wines. If you want it, they have it! They also have wine tastings, classes and an accessory shop all on the same block.
A little further from Museu Picasso, but right across the way, is the Gothic Quarter. A slightly less chic version of the Born, this neighborhood is excellent for exploring and grabbing a few copas at one of the rustic bars nestled in one of the many alleyways.
