Where's the best area to live in Barcelona?
By their typical street: Nou Barris (78), Horta-Guinardó (77) and les Corts (74). Nou Barris stands out for parks nearby and open skies. On the map you can also rank areas for families, walking or safety.
Which areas of Barcelona are best for families?
Horta-Guinardó (91) and Nou Barris (90): schools and playgrounds close by, parks, quiet streets, calm traffic and few tourists. We don't rate how good the schools are.
Which areas of Barcelona are quietest?
Ciutat Vella and Sants-Montjuïc, where 26% and 20% of streets are quiet. Noise is estimated from roads and railways; aircraft, bars and neighbours aren't counted.
Can you live in Barcelona without a car?
In most of it. On 84% of streets a shop, café, pharmacy, doctor, school and gym are all within a 10-minute walk, and 80% have good public transport nearby.
Which areas of Barcelona are safest?
By our combined estimate, Gràcia (84) and Nou Barris (80). It mixes our street estimate, the Hoodmaps crowd map and region-wide crime figures, and any of them can be wrong.
Why do some central areas of Barcelona score low?
We score for living there, not visiting. A street in a tourist hotspot, on a loud main road, or where you'd need a car can't score high, however nice the rest is.
