Location
In Barcelona, Hotel Climent is located on the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, just a few minutes from Placa de Espanya, a few steps from Montjuic; from its reception area, you can easily reach the important exhibition area and all the city's most famous sites.
From the splendid Placa de Espanya, head towards Montjuic and let the enchanting show of music and colors of Font Magica bewitch you; further on, you'll find the famous MNAC, the National Art Museum of Catalonian, a surprising treasure with its collection of 20th century works. Not far, there is a magnificent modernist building that is home to the Caixa Forum, where you can admire top quality works and exhibitions free of charge.
Continue and lose yourself among the architecture and stores of the Poble Espanyol hamlet, where its alleys and ancient atmosphere transform this place into a meeting point for concerts and local displays; after sunset, some lively nightclubs brighten up the evening.
A few steps away, you'll be amazed at the famous sports complex, the Olympic Circle: the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic Gallery (the museum dedicated to the Olympics) and the Palau Sant Jordi cupola. A group of extraordinary structures built for the 1992 Olympics that neighbor the splendid Nou Jardi Botanic.
Walking through these green areas, you'll be struck by the geometry and works of Fundaciò Joan Mirò, both of which are the work of the genius of one of the people who most influenced culture in the last century; with the direct cable car to Castello de Montjuic, you'll finally enjoy the extraordinary view of Barcelona and the surrounding sea.
Barcelona is a city of a thousand faces. One of these is thanks to the unmistakable works of Anton Gaudi, the inspired creator of the spectacular Sagrada Family, the romantic silhouette of Casa Battlò and Pedrera, surreal creations that bewitch visitors to Parc Guell. Among its dragons, prehistoric figures and decorate ceramics, let your imagination run wild!
Once you reach the lively Placa de Catalunya, walk along the Ramblas, an area crowded with thousands of tourists that stroll among the shops, street merchants and street artists; from here, passing by the statue of Columbus, you'll come to Port Vell and the modern commercial center of Maremagnum near the ancient fisherman's neighborhood called the Barceloneta, today a modern beach center.
Passeig de Gracia is the most elegant street in Barcelona. Located in a residential area in the 20th century, today, it is full of boutiques and commercial activity, lit by wrought iron streetlamps and decorated with the modernist silhouettes of homes and buildings. The focal point of society life and a delight for shopping lovers.
