| Plaça de Catalunya central square |
Plaça de Catalunya has a large central square (actually it's round in shape) as its focus and here you will find fountains, sculptures and grass verges - a welcome oasis of green in the heart of the city.

During fiesta times (which seem to happen rather frequently) there are often live musical performances given in Plaça de Catalunya and the square will be packed full of onlookers.
Around the square you have some large department stores including El Corte Inglés, FNAC and Habitat. The Ramblas joins Plaça de Catalunya at its South West corner. Another landmark opposite Plaça de Catalunya is Café Zurich, a popular café and social meeting place in the city.
Facts about Plaça de Catalunya
Here you can catch the Aerobus (express bus service) to Barcelona airport, along with the buses N17 and N18. There is also the city centre tourist information office based here.
The Ramblas and Passeig de Gràcia both start from Plaça de Catalunya. Rambla de Catalunya (another picturesque walkway and shopping area not to be confused with the Ramblas) also leads out from this square.
