| Barcelona Nord Bus Station |
The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Barcelona Nord bus station. This is very convenient for people flying into Girona Airport. The buses that leave from Girona airport terminate at this station. This is also an appealing option for those who may wish to make day trips out of the city to areas such as Girona, which is not simply an airport town but a popular tourist destination in its own right.
The hotel is located a 5 – 10 minute walk from Arc de Triomf. This monument is similar to the famous one in Paris. It sits at the top of the Parc de la Ciutadella. This is one of Barcelona’s most picturesque parks. It contains a small lake with rowing boats, numerous palm trees to find shade under and various sculptures dotted around the space.
The Arc de Triomf also acts as a sort of gateway into the area of El Born. This is perhaps the most affluent part of Barcelona’s old town and is full to the brim with attractive bars, restaurants and small galleries.
