El Born is sandwiched between Via Laietana and Barceloneta and is served by several metro stops.
The nearest metro station is Urquinaona (L1 and L4 - red lines and yellow lines) and city sightseeing bus nearest stop at 6 minutes walking (red line - Barri Gotic stop).
Las Ramblas are a pleasant 10 minutes walk away.
El Born has been transformed almost overnight into the stylish, in-vogue heart of the city.
Small, intimate, friendly and funky quarter.
The heart and soul of this community is the wide open, tree-lined Passeig del Born. At one end of the Passeig is an impressive metal and glass structure, the former Mercat del Born covered market, while at the other end is one of the most important Gothic churches in all Catalonia, Santa Maria del Mar.
