Barcelona, land of paella and Gaudí, is a destination with vast appeal. The city’s origins date back two thousands years when it was founded by the Romans, and now, it’s counted among the most enticing landscapes in the world to visit. As for where to locate yourself on your Spanish sojourn: the best Airbnbs in Barcelona are peppered across every neighborhood.
In search of historic architecture? The Eixample district is home to Gaudí s iconic buildings, including the dreamlike Sagrada Família. Or perhaps you’re after a trendy atmosphere? Poblenou would make a good home base for that. And good luck not falling in love with the village-like atmosphere of Gràcia, which offers a calmer alternative to the Old Town.
(If you’ve read about Spain s struggle with overtourism and want to tread lightly, before booking your rental, confirm your host has their permit number on the listing. Also worth noting: Barcelona plans to ban all short-term rentals in the city starting in November 2028.)
