Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016Such a great square viewed from any angle (from above the hill, from a night bus, or just from the street outside the metro station). Night view is great +go for famous magic fountain (Fri/Sat 9 pm).
Frankie J. 😎 GreyJune 18, 2017Very huge square, one of the biggest in the city! one of the main transportation hub and featuring many attractions: the Venetian towers, to the magic fountain (by evening) and the Arenas! (bullring).

Check online to see if there's a show while you're visiting.- JasperAugust 24, 2014Be sure to go up the escalators in Arena shopping center to see the breathtaking views of this part of Barcelona. See my photos to see how that looks at night. Go to the museum of modern art as well.
