The modernist residential district of L’Eixample is one big open-air museum. Architecture enthusiasts will be in their element here.
Eixample is the neighbourhood for you if you like shopping and enjoy fine dining and architecture. The neighbourhood is the cradle of Catalan Modernism. It is home to the Sagrada Família and other famous buildings by the architect Antoni Gaudí and his contemporaries. The neighbourhood dates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and was designed based on the vision of urban planner Ildefons Cerdà. L’Eixample is a genuine residential district and is characterised by grand avenues, wide streets, luxury shops and elegant restaurants and clubs. The district is divided into a left and a right section, which converge on the Passeig de Gràcia, the most expensive street in the country.
